Following on from a post yesterday and thank you for all the response.

What would make your perfect camp site?

What facilities would you like?

Thanks

Clean toilets, top of the list !

A marquee, not to huge, to play in if its wet, or a barn.

Agree with the above but would like to add sensibly priced!

I'd love to be able to support smaller sites and those of a liberated nature but when the facilities are outweighed by the owners wanting to make a profit beyond providing a site... it starts to feel less honest.

If I was going to spend £40 a night, I'd prefer to find an air bnb or the like but, at the same time don't expect it to be provided for nothing and hope you'd be making something from it.

Electric hookup is what most people want, no fun trying to make a battery last all weekend

Assuming you are talking about caravans or Motorhomes then when going to a music festival your batteries have to last for the festival or you pay megabucks for a hook up IF they are available.

Hook up is a bonus not a necessity.

You don't always need power. We are going off grid for five days next weekend, the gas will power the fridge and cooking, the solar and batteries take care of the lights and radio.

I'd rather have a good swingers campsite without hook up than no swingers campsite at all.

Managed just fine in tents for years without hook up and our dub as yet has very little in the way of power in the back.

Mr H. Maybe a small on site shop for essentials, especially if you can pop in naked

N Peterborough.

Definitely has to be well maintained facilities.

Second is enough facilities for the amount of people on site.

We went to the Barge Inn in Wiltshire and there were only four toilets, 2 showers and 3 washing up sinks on a site where approximately 50/60 people were staying.

Midlands & Cheltenham

Meadows complete with grasses and flowers, a woodland with dappled light, babbling brook, an early morning lark and somewhere for a sex swing

We would both like to say a big thanks for all the kind messages and in put we have had. We are going to pursue the idea with the aim of having something ready next year.

Thank you so much x

The perfect campsite? I'd ask for the following:

- Some pitches with electric hook ups

- A good indoor space with seating and things to do (stuff (porn?!) to read, a pool table, etc

- A decent sized hot tub/jacuzzi

- Use of a fridge and freezer

- Enough clean toilets!

- Warm water for washing up

- More than one camping area - perhaps a quiet zone and a.. Well, a noisy zone!

- Interesting trails into woods and/or meadows, with seating and outdoor play areas

- Car camping should be allowed

- Not too pricey; I reckon £35 per night is a good maximum

- Sun loungers!

- Food available on site (simple stuff like pizzas or burgers would be good enough)

- Kitchenette area with kettle and microwave

- Naturism friendly/mandatory

- Level pitches, not all crammed together, and without thistles or fruit trees that attract wasps

- Single men allowed (respectable ones at least)

- Tight rules about not being a pest

...I think that's it - I don't ask for much! Seriously though I've tried to list all my favourite things from a variety of clubs and campsites I've been to and I wish you all the luck putting your plans into action - I'll definitely be booking a visit as soon as you're up and running

Also, I live in Folkestone so I'm not a million miles away from you - if you want me to come and help you plan things, I'd be more than happy to (a fresh pair of eyes might be useful), and if you have any camping spaces this summer let me know - I'm always looking for somewhere new to stay for a night or two

I think the above is reasonable as it caters for those of us with a tent too, not all of us have campers.

Singles should be allowed too - not all of us are Neanderthals (see my veri) - though I appreciate we may be a minority. Groups of single men may be a different proposition however!!!

We go away for a week at a time, generally to off-grid sites without electric hook up.

We have a few small powerpacks that we pre-charge, & a larger 100w/hr pack that recharges on a solar panel.

Its enough to run our tent light & charge our phones & kindles.

What else do you need?

Also, to be able to have a fire!

It's not camping if you can't sit by the fire with a glass of red wine.

Abso (flaming) lutely. Your not camping unless you smell of smoke. Or is that an arsonist?

Its nice to relax by a warm fire after all the excess.

couple, us we him her.

Curfew rules actually enforced.

Nothing worse than a camping trip ruined by a few selfish people who don't care if others are trying to sleep.

Go clubbing if you want to stay up all night.

Camping is about nature, relaxing,fresh air and reasonably early night's.

Pitches with room for privacy yet a layout which allows people to be sociable.

Hi guys. Would anyone be interested in coming camping on the 15 & 16 september at our farm. We would love to get a group of like minded people together to look at and discuss the development of our camp site for next year. Please note the only facility on site at present is running water. We based near Battle East Sussex.

We appreciate this limits who can attend. When we open next year we will have the facilities for all camper in place hopefully including hot tub and sauna etc.
