Sadly its a fact of life. I see umpteen new posters going on about buying Heaters and Lidl ovens etc etc etc to take camping with them, but they havent properly looked into the availability of EHU in campsites. The realization is that most campsites only have a limited amount of EHU units for tents and unless you book really early theres little chance of getting one. Have you considered using battery power? It may be your only option and you might find it more fun!! Most things that you'd use on EHU could probably be substituted for battery power.

If you really want to get away try the really expensive campsites 1st. They are the only ones who will have availability for when you want to go away. We found that out last year. You may even want to broaden your search area and go somewhere completely different...

I was going to say could you manage without EHU - if so you would have a wider range of sites to choose from.

Anywhere in Europe we have visited have an abundance of hook ups available. It seems only a british problem.

Works well for me.

I have noticed that it seems to be a bit worse on the lakes.

Have you tried the C&CC sites - eskdale, troutbeck etc.
