The site at Bala where we have our seasonal is only accepting caravans and motorhomes as their facilities will be locked.

Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!

As for Covid secure campsites?
(Doubt that your ever find one)

Just been to Ashbourne C&CC Site.
Not to bad, 1 meter rule in Toilet block, hand sanitiser outside and in.
Most people social distancing but also quite a few partying under gazebos from different vans, tents& motorhomes?
That's what they have choose to do, so that's up to them i suppose, am not a police officer.

BUT it never rains but it pours.

China:
Suspected case of bubonic plague reported in Inner Mongolia
Eleven people have died of the plague, known as the Black Death in the Middle Ages, across China since 2009.

Still around then, like this will be for a few more years.

If your out and about you need to look at all risk's, as you go about your daily lives.

Take care.

Luckily Bubonic Plague can be successfully treated with antibiotics these days, so that can be crossed of our list of camping worries.

Yes you are right Deborah
It can be successfully treated with antibiotics

It was only took off the pandemic list, after it killed less than 200 a year.
But you can still also die from it.

I've added an additional water container with a decent tap/flow for hand washing. Have EHU so will boil the kettle and prep our hand washing facilities prior to visiting the loo.

Still feeling a little anxious if I am honest

I was at a National Trust for Scotland place recently. Toilets felt very safe: lines outside to space the queue (we’re still 2m up here). Sanitiser gel outside. Doors wedged open. Wear face masks - we always carry ours because we’re supposed to wear them inside shops up here. (No one was brushing their teeth of course - I guess you’re removing the mask for such a short time to do that, the risk is next to zero.) Alternate cubicles locked off & marked “closed”. Alternate sinks taped off. No hot air hand dryers, just paper towels but you’d have your own towel on site.
Just be sensible & I’m sure you’ll be safe. And enjoy- we felt like we’d been let out of jail, it was our first drive over 5 miles since March.

Thanks Fiona .. that’s reassuring to read.

I really want to get away ... working in education it’s been full on and non-stop and I just a break. Some fresh air and the coast.
