Hello, 

Looking for recommendations in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire for sites that have private vanity rooms either sink and toilet or sink toilet and shower or the very basic sink vanity room, 

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance

    Most club sites will have what they call vanity cubicles, i.e. just a sink with mirror in a cubicle with a curtain but nothing more than that.  I think you'd probably have to look at private sites for what you want.

    Is Rutland close enough?  Club site at Greetham has what they (and many other places) term "Unisex Toilets" with all three functions in one room.

    Google is telling me that Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park in Derbyshire has some pitches with private en suite facilities in huts beside the pitch - but doesn't say what's actually in the huts. No doubt the site manager will tell you if you are interested.

    If you are entitled to hold a radar key all the club sites will have a room that will cater for your needs the majority of club sites have washing cubicles with sink mirror and a lockable door

    The C&CC site at Teversal, Nottinghamshire has separate toilet compartments such as you require, Caroline.

    Are we talking Privacy Cubicles? Are vanity cubicles a totally different thing? If so what purpose do they serve? I'm mystified!

    All sites have the perfect vanity room - the one in your caravan or motorhome!

    I suspect that they are the same thing and I use them when I require to wash and not shower or to trim beard or shave

    Thank you for the nice replies, will certainly look at Rutland and the others.

    privacy rooms/vanity rooms yes they are the same, its just nice to have privacy at times and we don't like the showers with just a curtain.

    Yes we do have a perfect vanity room in our motorhome but seeing as though its new and we pay for the facilities we might as well use them and keep the motorhome in pristine condition!

    I see them being used but as I'm an early riser (at least at the start of a stay )I have notices it is those of 'mature' years that use them.

    If this is important to you then have a look for a commercial site, there are plenty with private bathrooms. Some even have full private facilities on your pitch.

    Yes, but not everyone has a Caravan, some have small campervans and some even have Trailer tents  ALL members, same as you.

    there are usually wash basins as well as cubicle so do we need both surely the space could be put to better use dont the rules and regs of the cmc say that each unit has to have its own toilets facs even if it is a toilet tent etc

    You’d want people having strip washes, cleaning teeth, shaving etc at the hand wash basins, would you?

    I do as I do not always require a shower and prefer not to beard trim and shave at a low sink without a counter to put my gear on and prefer to shave in private. We are not in 1970's world of carry on camping now

    As far as I've always understood it, the washbasins are for hand washing only, after using the 'facilities'.  

    Where have you got the bit about " …. don't the rules and regs of the cmc say that each unit has to have its own toilets facs even if it is a toilet tent etc." ?

    I seem to recall that when I joined one was supposed to have a toilet with the outfit whether on board or not.

    I can half recall that, but it doesn't appear in the rules anywhere as far as I can see.

    I've noticed that when the club does an interior refurbishment they privacy cubicles are still there, perhaps in a different place but still there.

    For me the cubicles are a complete waste of time, space and money. i could have a shower in the time it would take to have half a wash in one of the cubicles. 

    However as i use the shower and toilet that i bought with my caravan it doesn't affect me either way, apart from maybe the cost and time it takes the wardens to clean them.

    Just goes to show how different we all are. For me, the main purpose of being away in the van is to go walking/climbing. So in the morning it's a quick wash and shave (in one of the privacy cubicles - and I've rarely been the only one using them! ), breakfast and then off we go. Then a long, reviving shower when we get back later in the day.  Maybe that's one of the reasons I don't remember ever having to wait for a shower to become free on a club site!nsmile

    Shhhh! you are giving away all the secrets of stress free camping .

    beard , and if i have to trim beard normally do outside with electric trimmer and mirror hanging on van, clean teeth in shower, so no real need for privacy cubicle, dont know what all the fuss is about, if available then would use, but not fussed either way.

    I think I've on occasion used them but I tend to use the bathroom in the van, I'm a softie and if its chilly outside I use the van laughing
