Pampam Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ever tried getting a late booking on ANY campsite ???? What a nightmare thought I was working now I'm not ,and I can't get in anywhere b..gg..r. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I no longer camp anywhere in this country, part of the reason is the insistance upon booking. in addition many campsites do not welcome short stays in "peak" periods. Then there is the freezing and wet weather and the anti motorhome attitude of many councils. So we go abroad, we spend our money abroad and if it was up to me (it is not!) I would live abroad. This morning I am off to a family wedding, I will stay in my motorhome on a relatives drive. I cannot find a parking place where the wedding takes place that will accept my weight or height. I will be forced to borrow a car. Roll on France, another 6 weeks to go :-D H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 With the weather forecast could be a lot of No shows could be worth trying at the last minute. Must admit going away on a ½ term bank holiday in the rain not my idea of a holiday. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinklystarfish Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Pampam - 2013-05-23 9:22 AM Ever tried getting a late booking on ANY campsite ???? What a nightmare thought I was working now I'm not ,and I can't get in anywhere b..gg..r. !! Really? any campsite? Do you include CLs / CSs / Britstops and the rest in that description? And if you do, and they too are all full, why not use your motorhome as a motorhome and just (legally) stay wherever takes your fancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Pampam, I was going to suggest an ATOC rally but unfortunately this must be the only weekend of the year when they don't have a rally :-( The following weekend they have a rally at Stone Hockey Club if you can make it then.

Tracker Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 If you want help it might be an idea to tell us where you are, where you want to be and which, if any, clubs or groups you are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWO Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi As Tracker state's above here, what if any clubs are our in. If you are in the camping club (dare we mention it) they have many Tempary Holiday Sites all over the country, most will be just turn up. This is one of the big holiday weeks for them,so there are many to choose from. Most are only £7/8 a night all in for 2 adults. The camping club's local DAs will also be running long-weekend rallies all over the country, and most of them will make you welcome if you just turn up.

Find something with hard standing. If your heading up the Yorkshire coast here are a couple of options. I have been to both but not stayed overnight but know people who do / have without problems. Be careful around Flambourough head etc if you go that way and the same for much of that coast as they dont like wild campers but Bempton as far as I know is allowed. Also there is the Ship Inn at Sewerby between Bridlington and Flambourough. Charming place and ideally suited for walking or cycling along the cliff tops in either direction. Or if you prefer just spending the weekend in the bar getting bladdered! There are lots of CL and CS Sites dotted around the area as well so maybe give some of them a ring. Here are some links http://www.shipinnsewerby.co.uk/home/4574817080 Plough Inn Filey http://goo.gl/maps/oUc79 Nature reserve Bempton near Flamborough Bridlington http://goo.gl/maps/GuWJ1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindiboy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Pampam - 2013-05-23 9:22 AMEver tried getting a late booking on ANY campsite ???? What a nightmare thought I was working now I'm not ,and I can't get in anywhere b..gg..r. !! Well the answer to that is to join the Camping and Caravaning Club then like me you can just turn up at a Rally as I am doing this weekend at Lymington with no worries about booking and being assured that I will be welcome and able to Camp, SIMPLES.
