Service stopover

A lot of objections come from regular CC site users J and not just caravanners

That's the problem TW, local communities invest in camp sites and just driving round looking for free overnight stops on someone's land is not what locals want. There are so many campsites available why not put something back rather than demand from the club or anyone else that you can just use a facility in order to free camp on owned land?

Due to the popularity of places like the NC500 there is a basic problem with up keep and facilities (including infrastructure like roads) that need to be paid for by someone, but obviously not the free campers.

I've no idea how much free camping goes on, some might be permitted but the general rule in Scotland for free camping is tents only, leave no mark.

Here's an example of what's available, why not use it?

If the wild campers, as opposed to motorhomers and tourers in general bring much wealth to local communities then let those communities provide. The truth is that holiday makers in general bring profit but I wonder hat profits the wild campers bring as a separate set? 

Good post and lays it out as the "locals"see it in other popular UK areas and,as some "over there" are now demanding and getting more oftenr

Flippin 'eck Brue some of those sites charge £28 a night for hardstanding with EHU not the £5 a day that the wild campers want. 

We already have one in the Seaview Hotel Fishguard, where for the price of a meal in the restaraunt you can stay for 24 hours fill up with water and dump your cassette (its a Brit Stop). 

So no need to bother the hard pressed local Council ,who are finding it hard to even keep open much needed local public toilets.

Is Fishguard a village? Ideal to put a pay as you use dump near a public convenience to help with running costs then 

You don't half talk rot about the relevance of the experience of wild campers BB. The simple fact that is irrelevant when suggesting that there is a general desire amongst those members of CC that are regular site users to wish provision for wild campers on CC sites. The ones most likely to want such provision are those that do not want to pay typical site charges in the first place and therefore hardly a group that I have a desire to see dump provisions made on CC sites. As I have said before 'if there was seen to be an economic business model in such provision why are such provisions not springing up ...... or are they? 

The negative responses from 'caravanners' and motorhomers who you suggest have no experience is simply that they have no wish to promote wild camping even if they may wild camp on the odd occasion themselves. If I used a motorhome and particularly a small camper I might, if on my own particularly, stop occasionally alongside a loch or coast. If necessary I would have no problem disposing sensibly of waste nor getting water and if I wild camped more frequently and found waste and water management a problem then I would use a main site to intersperse such stops. 

Ah, but it only works for those on site JVB. The site apparently should see it reasonable to rejig the provision to enable all to use dump facilities at nominal cost (even if they need to pay £50 to permit annual access) to provide for wild campers do beloved by all in the area.

Britstops sound a good idea for those that wish such a provision.
