It would be great to have feedback on the caravan sites and how the safety measures are working. We will be watching for the next two weeks to see how safe the sites are before we decide to start touring again.  Maybe a lot of people will put reviews on individual caravan sites.

This thread is specifically and solely for members currently visiting sites to offer useful feedback.

Please keep your posts on the topic of "caravan sites opening and safety measures on sites" only.

Thank you.

I started to read this thread but found it hard to follow with so many gaps in it.

What I did gather on here was a lot of criticism about people driving through the night and arriving at campsites in Cornwall very early in the morning . But by the amount of traffic we have had coming down here in the daytime today those people who drove overnight last night made the right decision.

And people have driven to Cornwall overnight every summer weekend since I was a boy. My grandfather did it. Some sites in Cornwall have overflow areas where tired arriving drivers can park up and wait. Some sites open their cafes and serve breakfast. And some sites today, being completely empty, were glad to welcome their first vsitors for many months, and simply guided them in with a smile as soon as they arrived.

Looks like the first problem has reared it's head.

News from Moreton in March site. People using the toilets have taken all the rubber bands denoting what space is available . No bands, no entry. They've walked away with them, (that's the polite version )

A lot of people will be standing with their legs crossed

This is probably one of the previously unknown unknowns which could lead to confrontations between campers.!

I suppose some are daft enough to get worked up.

I suspect that they are a bit like miners tallies.

If you don't make a system foolproof it wont work. If campers forget to take the key with them to the toilet block as I have often witnessed, how do you expect them to remember to replace a rubber band to its original position when finished with.

Yes the moderation could have done with a lighter touch!

Opening day seems to have gone quiet well although there does not seem to have been the rush that was predicted?

This must be a wind-up story?  Why,, especially under the current circumstances, would anyone queue for public toilets when they have one of their own?  Or are they all in campervans without them

could be a wind up, but many posts ago when this sort of routine was muted, i did suggest that something like this may happen especially if you have lots of children on site who just forget to return the bands, or even older people who take a band have a shower for e.g. and leave the band on the peg undecided
