~Hi there,and welcome [:D]

My son is 12 years old and uses an electric wheelchair. We always use the Caravan Club sites and have found disabled facilities to be first class, with plenty of room. Usually you have your own key. There are over 200 CC sites in the UK, so there sould be one near you.[:D]

Best we've found for wheelchair, Brynawelon in West Wales and Appletree which is the site attached to Banham Zoo in Norfolk, both of which you'll find listed in the camp site search.........Mick

I would vote for the CC sites also, the disabled facilities are generally excellent.

We are based in Somerset & have a fully size Disabled Shower room. 

Brynawelon - http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5083

Both our Park & Brynawelon had these buildings from the same manufacturer last year.  Both should hopefully meet your requirements.

I thought of your site Ang, but I couldn't remember if you had a slope to get the wheelchair up.

hi

Both us and bowdens have a ramp to access the facility.  Also we both have a fold up seat with the shower cubicle and/or the wheelchair can be wheeled into the shower - these units have been specifically designed for wheelchair access with raise toilet, low level sink and plenty of space for multiple people within the room.
