Where are we actually welcome

TBH, ISTM that many sites offer camping as a sideline to help offset lack of income from other revenue streams. The place we're at right now falls into that category AIUI. Anyway, £12.50/night without EHU and £20 with. There's water, toilet, CDP and a truck stop/bar onsite. However, we're not here for the camping, which is a means to an end. We're here for a Bluegrass picking weekend jamming with several like-minded musos! It's the same with other places we use: next Sunday, we'll pay £15 to overnight at a pub that's hosting a uke jam. Early Nov, we've paid £25/night to camp at Baskerville Hall for a Bluegrass picking weekend.

Will the hound show up?!

A great place to stay I'm told Geoff by some friends who have had biker meets there.

I believe that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually did stay there and that is where he got the inspiration for the book?

Now they sound like fun. Well apart from the Uke's

Other instruments are welcome... for that, I take both fiddle and mandolin to the uke jam in addition to a baritone uke. A couple of guitarists regularly turn up as well as some squeeze box players...

The family that runs the place concurs. It seems the hound was a long-standing family legend and Conan Doyle was given permission to base his novel on that provided he didn't disclose the location of Baskerville Hall; which is why the novel is set on Dartmoor rather than the Welsh Borders near Hay-on-wye.
