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.

Later in the year when the weather is rough we should go to and from the shower block in a dressing gown?

As Jill said, we each choose our way and, while I'd not deliberately set out to hinder others, I also have to do what's right for me.

I might suggest that an umbrella or coat might help, but being stood outside for 15 minutes whilst someone gets dressed when they could do it in their caravan/motorhome seems thoughtless under these circumstances.

A coat and nothing underneath in winter is still silly.

15 mins to get dressed is only your guess as you're waiting outside and not party to what's going on.

I try hard to be thoughtful and not inconvenience others but I will do what is right for me. That is why I always try to use the facilities at less popular times of day.

You didn't say it as your own thoughts, Jill, but suggested in the other thread that personal choice would come into it.

Sorry, I could have worded it better.

I do understand, however I was making a comment regarding the situation I had encountered over the last week, with the temperatures were in the high 20s with wall to wall sunshine, and the site was full.  I am sure that later in the year it may not be such an issue.

I was appealing to the club members sense of reasonable understanding and acceptance that, during these times, a small adjustment to ones behaviour for the benefit of everyone would be reasonable.  Ho hum

I do my best to be reasonable, T&I. We all need to compromise and be tolerant in these times.

PS. It was you who made the point that waiting outside would be unpleasant in less clement weather. I merely expanded on that.

Coat over your dressing gown maybe?

We will be using our own facilities, for our own peace of mind, and to leave  site ones for those who need them, but a reminder that there may be a queue outside might encourage users not to linger.

When we do use site facilities, we always adopt the undressing/dressing in the van method, so much quicker and easier than trying to do it in a shower cubicle.

We have been to 3 facility sites so far since lockdown eased. 

I never saw anyone at anytime queue to use the facilities, even though they had reduced occupancy and there were many tent's on the sites. 

I have never and never will, walk around a campsite in my bathrobe. It's personal choice but it won't happen, not here.

If for any reason I came across a queue at the facilities I would either return to the van to shower or go and have a cuppa and return to the block later to shower. 

I do think about making it simple to get undressed/dressed but going in a bathrobe NO way.
