Looking to book CAMC site at Borrowdale for week after next, been holding off booking hoping weather forecast would look better, or at least not get even worse, but they seem to have vacancies galore with only a couple of w/e days full mid month, has the UK camping bubble burst as many forecast, and people returning to foreign holidays - I do hope so, be nice to get back to how camping used to be pre-Covid crowds!
No, I’m proof that it’s not burst. Some People (like me on this particular trip) are leaving it much more last minute. I had no trouble booking into a CAMC site less than a week before arriving, when we arrived the Site Full sign was up. When I’d been making that booking, I wasn’t sure what direction we’d go in next so I did a few “dummy” bookings to check. But come the time to decide, much closer to moving, a previously available CAMC site was full. So we’re on an independent site instead.
The problem has got different since Covid: more people with campervans & MHs aren’t using sites, they’re staying in “car” parks for free, using apps & many FB pages to find them. We were on a cracking site last week, only about half full, within sight of 2 car parks rammed so full of overnighters (and several parked for the summer by the beach) that some couldn’t open the Habitation door. If they’d come onto our site, the site would have been nearly full. Talking to a local person, he said the signs saying “no overnight parking” or “no Motorhomes” just get removed. No toilets nearby.

2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

I wonder if this is why the Derwentwater site has installed a keypad entry system for the toilet block. This is the first year they have had this and I noticed a lot of campervans parked up on the road outside the site.
Interesting.
Salisbury C&CC got rid of their locks in the shower blocks this year.
There is not much parking near the site.
However, there is a low risk of people on foot getting into the site and use the facilities for free, e.g. cyclists and walkers etc.. Perhaps the risk level is considered as acceptable now that they have an automated barrier installed.
