That’s looks like a Romany traveller camp…
Awful

On a serious note head down the North Yorkshire coast saltburn onwards it’s lovely saltburn has a park for night near the pier lovely

Ha. My dad's family had a static there in the 50s & 60s. Still bangs on about how wonderful it was. Mind, things were tough back then, apparently.

Yeah I know the Yorkshire coast well. I'm heading north from here through those Newcastle roadworks, wow what they doing there? To mighty dub fest at alnwick castle

Stayed at a farm site in Bishops Lydeard.

Was essentially a field covered in goose sh1t (and a flock of them wandering about) and 4 filthy festival toilets. There was a vagrant in one corner and a bloke living full time in a caravan in the other.

One of the reasons we always now stop at sites with good ratings and toilet and shower blocks.

Life too short for that cr@p. Literally.

"Shell Island" rubbish overflowing too few loos and too many people. Many years ago may have changed?

Roadworks north of the Angel thing is (I think) to improve the roundabout access and add a 3rd lane, though it's a pity they didn't do it during the previous disruption.
We live near Alnwick but have never been tempted into the dub fest.
The walk along the coast from Craster to Newton via Dunstanburgh Castle is worthwhile once you've had enough van polishing.

The pink track suit shop must have been busy recently

Two spring to mind; one down near Symonds Yat, I think mainly a "holiday park" with some camping, but literally two toilet cubicles for the entire camping community there = queues for the loo at 5:30am. There used to be a lovely (if basic) campsite on the other side of the river, sadly now closed. The other was on Anglesey. The site had very few level pitches (with some ridiculously sloped, yet people still had to camp on them as they had no choice), "new" facilities which were very basic and had the interesting design concept of having a shower, toilet and sink in each cubicle. Three in total. Of course this model meant at any point, only a third of the "capability" of the cubicle was being used, so someone went in, did their business then had a shower, the cubicle could be out of action for quite a while. Again, queues galore.

We do more background research these days - it's supposed to be a holiday, I can't be bothered with slumming it anymore, especially as there's rarely a relationship between "slumming it" and the price.

its Hartlepool, the NE coast is gently better now we outsourced the coal mining and heavy industry to the rest of the world (and the jobs) Depends how much the site cost.

Never went into hartlepool. I fancied a few jars there, but the camp was so bad I had to leave ASAP this morning after having this amazing breakfast. Yes that is toast and yes the bacon and sausage weren't cooked.cold beans,no butter. Terrible all round

Toast looks a little anemia.

 

[flying banana]

Was just like stale bread

This might be controversail, but all Yelloh! sites in France. Some people clearly love them. I can see the appeal but they're just not for us.

My wife hates them. Usually cries. She wants a quite corner to do Yoga, somewhere to buy eggs and yoghurt, hear birdsong. And no loud bar. Oh and I hate camping on 16 square meters of tent-peg-bending dirt.

 

[Barry Chuckle]

This campsite wasn't supposed to be the best, but only a pound a night!

Went here several times in the 80s, wasn’t too bad, went a few years ago and it was crammed, noisy, foul. Never have been or will return.

Monopoli Italy in March. One night and left. More ghetto than camp site. Money in a slot meter for a shower. Online site looked lovely. Taken 20 years ago must be.

 

[RockinNRollin]

I came across a few sites in France a bit like that Italy site above; perhaps because we're out of season and they hadn't "spring cleaned" yet, but it felt like some were just very tired with owners that couldn't cope with maintaining a pool and other facilities.

Cannot speak too highly of the Yelloh site at Luc sur Mer in Normandy; spotlessly clean, great staff and facilities. Next door to the lovely small town and sea front.

Are you sure that’s a sausage & not an industrial accident ?

By far the worst for us was Bobilparkering Bergenshallen in Bergen, Norway.
