Just back from 3 nights away at my fave CS, £5 a night, no electric which suits us fine. We had another guest last night which is a bit busy for us so we left this morning. 😁

Motorhoming since 2018.
I had 3 over a 6 or 7 year period touring all over Europe. The originals have been rapidly dying off from tin worm but if they were still made I'd definitely have another one.
Camper UK have one sitting in the reception area of their show room. A conversation piece. Think it’s a G reg.

The thing is though if you don't want to pay for a spot almost always on your own just stop at pubs , plenty of apps to see where they are. We recently spent 5 nights around York and Whitby and apart from the first night at York auction centre because that was where we wanted to be that cost £12 all the rest were completely free.
Thought you had to buy a meal in the pub in exchange for the free night

Van Conversion
Exp
Since 2012
I am still getting over the trauma of paying £33 for 1 night after collecting our new van on Thursday. Consort don’t do tradeins so they give you a helpful guide of how to do the handover. I think because we also have daughter’s wedding on Saturday I may be a bit on Autopilot with my lists so it just didn’t click (my excuse).

It’s basically a very fancy longstay caravan park with a tiny touring bit in the middle. Absolutely immaculate. A little building with a laundry plus 2 self contained shower/loo cubicles. As the van was new with a diesel boiler , lithium etc we wanted/needed to try everything out before heading home Friday. There were 2 other Consorts for hab checks and a Vantage staying overnight so I think most of their custom might be from there!

Certainly won’t be staying there again however nice! We’d paid £130 for bed, breakfast and dinner at a hotel the night before and they’d upgraded the room!

That is true but as I said we go out most nights for at least one meal a day when on holiday, so if we were paying for a site we would end up paying twice.
And for the most part they are more pleasnt.

Murvi in Devon pay for the hotel and breakfast, in fact they even pay for a hotel if you arrange a visit to view their vans even if you then decide not to buy.

There is a site which has various sized pitches from under 8m to "bleeding enormous" the under 8m in Aug is about £65. The bleeding enormous is £235 (two hundred and thirty five pounds, no typo) per night ! It would appear that being really large means big bills !

It all boils down to where you want to be, literally, at the end of the day.

This week I am paying £16 a night on a THS (ehu available at an extra £6 a night). It's not far from home and it's in a nice location.

August Bank holiday week, I will be staying at CAMC Cheltenham for a couple of nights between meets and paying £20 a night inc.ehu.

Indeed it does. Usually do the Plymouth routes over as we can drive their easily on the day. However we are doing the Newhaven route shortly with morning departure, more of a trek, so thought we would do a site the night before. CAMC's nearest was £40! So looked at the Travel Lodge Newhaven almost adjacent to the Terminal and for a Sunday it was only £40 as well so guess what?
I know you can pitch up in the CP at the Terminal for nowt but we do like a few comforts. Even our pitch in Normandy has its own individual toilet/shower pod! Worth remembering Sundays are cheap for Premier Inns and Travel Lodges.

I've always thought it looks a bit odd when you see a Motorhome parked up outside a hotel. I can see the sense in it, but it still looks odd.

Very friendly reception and plenty of space.

Corbridge is a revelation on the banks of the Tyne. Regular buses into Newcastle from the village and a train station as well.

All for £12 a night. So far can only recommend

Can I just correct your posting please.

What is should say is, "It's grim up North". As the Eagles said "Call someplace Paradise, kiss it goodbye"

There was some festival or something I was looking at before, they wanted £20 for a tent pitch of 8m x 5m and £30 for a Motorhome pitch of 8m x 5m. Both grass, both no services. How does that work then ? Needless to say, passed on that.

Good butchers in Corbridge, with sausages and mutton pies. Well there was.
