Competition is healthy, it brings more people to an area. I have a CL yet I welcome Aire's. However, if someone stops at our CL and simply wants to empty their toilet, fill up with water, charge batteries and even pop in for a shower they can do so for a small charge.
A lot of campsite owners seem to be of the opinion they have the monoply on anything to do with camping, you must stay with them or stay away from the area, I believe in paying and using a service when I need it, I don't wish to be forced into a campsite because
they think I should pay them.
If that were the case I would of bought a static or a tourer, I choose not too
So a happy medium to me would be Camspite opwners not being so greedy and let us all work together by them providing facilities to Motorhomers for a small fee without necessarily needing to stay overnight.
