It has gone up to £10 a night this year, but you are allowed to stay up to 3 nights when it was only one last year. There are 5 carparks along the Ayrshire coast in the trial this year.
There seems to be a lot of these wee aire type facilities popping up this year in Bonnie Scotland. Well done CAMPRA and Councils for taking advantage of the tourists and making it easier to open such facilities. I definitely think it’s a good thing and is going to ease the pressure on the wild overnight stops but I fear I could speed up the demise of wild camping in a motorhome.
Very surprised at the CAMC club allowing Elsan & water point outside at New England Campsite, I queried why they would not allow this on their sites for a small charge similar to the CCC club, and their archaic response drove me into cancelling my membership with them!!
The area outside the camc site (and toilet /elsan point) is council owned.
North Ledaig if you can get, just north of Oban, if you are further down then we recommend Garlieston.
If you turned up at a C&MC site desperate for the loo with a full cassette, flashing your £55 a year membership card they would turn you away saying they don’t encourage wild camping. The elsan point and freshwater tap must have pissed them of.
Never been so close to a campsite for free.
That one made me laugh Bill. Last time we were at Glencaple one of the locals told us the bore was due within the next hour. So we waited, and we waited. Eventually the local crowd (well all 4 of them) started gesticulating as the bore arrived. I kid you not, it was no more than a reasonable ripple. I reckon a ripple no more than 6” high at that. What an anticlimax but we were assured that sometimes it’s a bit bigger.
A trifle cruel there Terry!!!Gordon’s crossing to France this morning, Bill.
