We no longer camp under canvas but when we did we made good use of the EHU and heaters to prolong ourcamping season in fact we did'nt have a season as with heating its possible to go away all year round.
Talking to people on sites this year I feel that we will see a reduction in campers as the first jet setters get back to European holidays and only the real campers will continue. I was surprised how many people were "just giving it a go to save money" and I think they will disappear.
I think you will also find sites looking at how they can get more people in. Not necessarily reducing pitch sizes although some will. I was disappointed to see that Polmanter were converting their dog walking field to accomodate more pitches, and I hope they dont just let dog walkers (myself included) use the recreation field.
Strangely as you can see we tend to tour around Cornwall with our van so converting to a tin tent has made us think more about where we go and we certainly dont tour as far afield now as we used to.
