Portaloos wouldn't worry me as long as they were kept clean, but I think I'm probably in the minority. Well maintained toilets are quite high on most peoples preferences for site facilities.

The details for Cartref are here.

We built our site in 2004 the shower/toilet building also houses shop and reception and pot wash cost over £100,000

Hi Kath,

We built a large Multi-purpose Amenity Building in 2000 with following facilities  

a)      Male facilities                                  Female facilities

5 Toilets                                          6 Toilets

3 Urinals                                        

5 Vanity basins (3 in cubicles)          5 Vanity basins (3 in cubicles)

3 Showers                                       3 Showers

b) Disabled / Family Room, including shower & toilet & baby changing facilities

c) Chemical / Waste Water disposal point

d) Dish Washing sinks (x4)

At the time it cost us £135,000 plus VAT.......but it would have been £155,000 if I had not project managed the build. This build was to a very high specification.....but then it has "re-paid" us with great customer satisfaction, plus winning 5 Star Loo of the Year Awards etc.

I know this is a far larger building than you are planning, but if you scale the cost down I would expect it to cost in the region of £30,000 - £40,000 plus VAT.

If you'd like more info, give me a call anytime, or even pop over to have a look at these loos!! I am very proud of them!

All the best,

I think your best bet might be found here: http://www.cosalt-holiday-homes.co.uk/amenity/index.asp

Ask them to send you some designs.  Going on what I have seen your block should work out between £20,000 - £30,000.  A stage up from portaloo's and very attractive from the outside as well. 

If I was starting a new development without a building to convert I would use this option.  Arrives on the back of a lorry, plug in the water, connect the drainage and away you go.  No running after builders!!!!!!!

Facilities for the less able?

Although not a campsite owner - one thing that I find very useful is a family sized shower room - or at least cubicle that mum and a couple of kids can fit into without it being a squash.
