I don't mind paying the fuel to get there and I don't mind paying a
reasonable sum for the use of facilities. I do object to a
one-size-fits-all camping ticket policy, though, 'cos it doesn't. If I come
on me own in Edward II I need space to park the vehicle and to get out of
it, plus maybe room to plant a couple of folding chairs. If I had a family
I could bring the LR and a sod-off tent, and use 4x as much bog-capacity,
water, showers etc.
