Is that a Gilbern over to the right at the back?
On the subject of camping, I'm not a huge fan, mostly as my back isn't all that, and I'm not designed to handle the cold.
My best camping experience was a campsite in France my partner booked for two years ago.
It was a fairly big site, and had some 'evening entertainment' if you were so inclined, which we were generally not, however our pitch was fairly out of the way, also had electric, but by far the biggest boon was that each pair of pitches, shared a small building - this building had two sides, one for each pitch, and within it you had:
- Washbasin & shower - both with hot and cold water
- Radiator that heated up
- Toilet
- Kitchen sink and draining board
- Fridge!
This was superb for a huge number of reasons.
Firstly, a hot shower was available whenever you wanted it, right there on the pitch
Washing up was just a few steps ago, plus you had somewhere to let stuff dry
The fridge meant we could by food that needed to be kept cold, and be able to buy a few days worth
And having the toilet right there meant needing a visit in the middle of the night wasn't such a major undertaking, plus no risk it would be occupied OR disgusting!
There were keys for all of the areas, but we never bothered locking anything.
The other lucky bonus for us, was that the weather was hot, but the tent was also under shade, so the tent generally kept a fairly even temperature. It's the first time I have been camping and actually slept with the sleeping bag open, and just normal sleepwear on, as opposed to this country when I have to get into 17 layers of clothing, including thermal layers, thick socks, fleece tops, hats, liner sleeping bag inside of another monster thick one.
