Step 2 - not before 12 April
Business and activities
Step 2, which will be no earlier than 12 April, will see the opening of non-essential retail; personal care premises such as hairdressers and nail salons; and public buildings, including libraries and community centres. Indoor leisure facilities such as gyms will also reopen (but only for use by people on their own or in household groups); as will most outdoor attractions and settings including outdoor hospitality venues, zoos, theme parks, and drive-in cinemas. Self-contained accommodation such as campsites and holiday lets, where indoor facilities are not shared with other households, can also reopen.
Hospitality venues will be allowed to serve people outdoors at Step 2 and there will be no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks and no curfew, although customers must order, eat and drink while seated (‘table service’). Wider social contact rules will apply in all these settings to prevent indoor mixing between different households.

Anyone booked a campsite for that period? I've seen numerous places taking bookings, but most have warning text about toilets/showers
Subject to Covid restrictions being lifted we are taking bookings for arrivals from 18/04/2021 onwards. Subject to clarification from Government our toilets and showers may be closed between 12/04 and 17/05 - please contact us for further details.
Now maybe this is me ... but a campsite with no loos or showers isn't very attractive when compared to the rather cheaper wild-camping option!
I'm curious about the loos; if pubs can serve food/drink, presumably they must let their customers use toilets?
(So perhaps the answer is to find a pub-based campsite.)
Thoughts? Experiences??
(as an aside, AirBnB has loads of properties with "vacancies" during Step2 - but when contacted they confirm that they're not allowed until 17 May! (Step 3)
