Jusy you could ask them what time the cleaning regime of the toilet area is..? Arrive at the site before or after this... Ask them how long it takes to clean the toilets or how long they maybe out of action...? What happens if you urgently need to use the toilet...?

Lots of questions you could ask.... the campsite is not privilege to your medical history. Wishing your medical condition on me is not very helpfull... I have enough of my own.

The original posters question was “is 10:30am too early”. I personally don’t think so as long as you have been informed. I could understand if the cleaning times kept changing everyday and the cleaning regime was erratic. As far as having a medical condition which means you need 24hour access to a toilet then I would seek sites that could accommodate this

Ask before you stay ....? Sorry I'm struggling to see the point of the post. If you are informed of a time, work around it. The site might be small and only have one toilet or shower.

It can't be that difficult to be a responsible individual

As campsiteranger says almost all sites would allow entry for illness and/or nappy change or in one case car sick child arriving whom required a clean up. I think the being responsible for the time you go is more directed at those whom take no notice of what they are told ( this is on the increase sadly) and at times have been seen to 'sneek' into the toilets/showers and begin their half hour morning routine of getting ready whilst us as site owners/wardens and cleaners have been distracted by another duty eg: a dirty loo a particularly grim shower or as was yesterday simply getting the toilet rolls out of the stores to replace.

The individual having been told our closing time, ducked under the closed off ticker tape, stepped over the closed for cleaning sign, stepped over the broom blocking the doorway and subsequently spent the next half an hour taking a shower thus preventing that cubicle being cleaned and delaying our 'schedule' - he then proceeded to leave his shaving hairs around the sink, a very soggy floor, soap scum round the shower tray and a toilet that was smeared with skid marks - we do have toilet brushes!!!! - it may seem like nothing but it means that the loos then have to stay shut for longer which obviously affects other customers AND means that we enevitably get interupted as other customers begin to arrive or make enquiries.

I really don't think it matters what time they're closed as long as everyone knows when that time is and can fit round it. And as long as staff are prepared to be flexible when it comes to children and ill people.

We like to loaf about. If we miss the start of cleaning time, we loaf about reading the papers until the cleaning's finished. If it bothered us having to wait, we'd get ourselves organised and get there before it starts.

I think it's great to read how it is from site wardens' perspectives. I hadn't realised what a demanding bunch we campers can be!
