Anyone realised this. I just don't get it. Why can pubs open their shared toilets for outdoor diners / drinkers,  motorway services shared toilets never been closed, but caravan & camping sites can open 12th April but can't open their amenities until 17th May. And I would bet that most site toilets are far more hygienic and cleaned more often than pubs and motorway services. Bonkers.

Moderator Comment - I think this thread has run its course now. When the off topic posts outnumber the on topic ones it is time to close.

We have booked a couple of sites in the full knowledge that the toilet blocks would probably be closed.  It doesn’t bother us as we always use our own facilities anyway but I understand that a small camper van would have more of a problem.  In those cases they may have to wait to see how things develop before booking anywhere.  Looking at the pictures of various parks and coastal resorts yesterday with all the irresponsible crowds, I’m dreading another spike in cases.  In which case they may all stay closed for much longer or indeed have to close the sites again if the Government decide.

Indeed heddlo. I have been watching South Yorkshire’s case rates. They have risen by a quarter in the last two weeks. Anyone who thinks we are out of the deep woods yet needs to have a serious rethink. It’s not the only area with rising case rates either. I am all for getting back out there, getting a degree of normality back, but there will still need care taken, some compromises that protect the majority. We have our breaks booked, but under our terms.

Might not be that many though. On sites close to us, Poolsbrook shows 1 Friday the 16th and 2 Saturday 17th, it was previously full. Clumber is still 0 and 0, no change. Early days yet though, some may not yet realise.😀

I will be going to that site and I will add more info when I am back. I will also take another shot of the bookings just after the 72 hour deadline. It may well fill up?

It is a popular site, normally difficult to get a booking, look at the bookings in May and June.

So I have just seen that the government reviewd its requirement  2 days ago and sites can now open facilities si presumably it's the club that are keeping them closed

Also the club has misinterpreted the regulations  Toilets can be open providing they are individual cabinets therefore all that cant be open are showers and urinals
