Will Coronavirus Close Campsites?

[cgtmiles]

That rules out camping for us as we need their facilities

 

[cgtmiles]

Wild camping it is then. Although park4night had tried to distance itself from anyone going too the parking sites they list!

The wife won’t wild camp and definitely can’t do that with the kids so that rules out camping as a way to get them out the house

Bollox!

Looks like this is your option. Friends of mine in Zurich are under house arrest. Not allowed out...

 

[cgtmiles]

Yeah, someone who works for me is base near Frankfurt and he got the message that they can’t leave the house!

Their supermarkets are full though and if you look at the number of deaths in Germany against the number of cases and compare to the UK it’s much lower. Not sure why that is

Because the German Government hasn't systematically underfunded their health service for decades.

My wife used to work with a German nurse in great ormand street hospital and she said that the German hospitals were way behind the Uk but a lot of it is to do with administration and that in the NHS is shocking.

Having said that, behind this hit, there were people in the corridors in A&E and it’s at full strain every winter

Whilst at the current time we remain open, you will notice some changes when you arrive:

• All campsites are running at a maximum of 50% occupancy, with more space to promote easier social distancing between pitches
• Meets, gatherings and socialising in groups outside your travel party are not permitted
• All on-site social and communal areas will be closed
• All facilities blocks are closed, this includes toilets and showers
• A number of our Club sites will remain shut at the start of the season

Which club is this ?

Seems my worse fears and becoming true. Think I'll be putting the cover back on and sorn the van

Sorn'd my motorhome the other day when I realised that it was pointless paying to tax it whist it sits in the storage site, which was a crap feeling.
Although I have a strange urge to fetch it home and probably will.

.... dear friends, I am writing to you from Italy, we are obliged to stay at home here, schools are closed and transport is kept to a minimum, the same happens near Slovenia (I live a few meters from the Slovenian border ), the borders are closed and also the borders between Slovenia and Croatia. In the nearby region of Istria, the campsites would open from April 24 but nobody will open .... even the hotel chains have closed ... it's not a good situation ... I hope it will be better for all of you

Gets more like a film every day.

Perhaps people should take the guidance seriously instead of making their own rules up.......

 

[cgtmiles]

Totally agree. I’ve forwarded this already but will put it on here too. If we don’t voluntarily isolate it will be inforced. No one will be allowed to go outside.

Please listen

The Plassey in Wrexham has now closed all the facilities

 

[Dilbert]

I think all campsites will be forced to close. Spain have now done this. Unfortunately people are not taking any guidance seriously so rules have to be put in place like forcing all pubs, etc. to shut.

I am afraid there are some very selfish people being exposed by this crisis.
