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 feel that I look somewhat more 'decent' wearing my robe than some of the wrinkly blokes with skimpy flimsy shorts. tongue-out

Personal choice but for me a bathrobe is something you wear indoors not walking about a campsite.  

When abroad and in very warm weather I tend to wear a beach dress to go to the showers.

Pair of swiming trunks and flip flops for me with towel thrown over the shoulder.

Campsites tend to remind me of the old guest houses with people queuing in their "night attire" for the only bathroom before breakfast...so I won't be in the queue, one less for everyone. wink

However people without onboard facilities probably could do with a bit of fast tracking at the facilities but asking people to wear less seems a bit whacky...like one of those party games where you put more on or take something off if, well...the mind boggles. laughing

I did notice queues when away as on both occasions we were near facilities and the queues were in the mornings. A question of timing not dress codes?

As Site managers(wardens) have said in the past when members complained about "lack of enough showers?" why?there are many quieter times  ,as they are open 24/7 except when they are being cleanedsurprised

I would think many people are out all day, so either want to shower early on, or later in the evening, plus a few who prefer to do so as soon as they return from a walk or whatever.  So, it will be mainly quiet from after cleaning till 7-8pm when children start getting ready for bed.

So, yes, plenty of  of hours available  to shower, but difficult to make use of if you are not there!
