You should. At £70 per night it's a bargain!

A fresh coat of creosote for the existing shower black to match the new one?   :shy:

I could have offered you a nice GRP enclosure if you'd asked.  lol

Looking very nice. Is yours the best camp sight in Wales? I will probably visit during the summer, I hope you have everything complete by then.  :sunny: :auto-dirtbike: :thumb:

There are many fine sites in Wales.

Andy's place is well maintained and in a great location to explore the Mid and West Wales.

And has the Dragon wagon for food, what more can a bike want?

Yurts like wot they have in that Monaco?
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Your place attracts pyromaniacs.  :shy:

All those lovely wooden benches to burn.  lol


I'm in agreement on the yurts attracting hippies in their 90grand mercs.

Have you seen the price of them (Shepherds Huts)?

We would have to charge silly money to recoup the investment.

Sites do charge silly money for yurts and glamping pods, even the ones with a just a steel plate to put your stove on and no hot hub!

Edit.

Also the more fancy stuff you offer the more of an arsehole you attract.

Yup. People who don't "get" camping, and don't want to.
But even normal sites have started attracting a lot more arseholes. The sort that turn up with a brand new 10 berth tent, pitch it half an inch from you, unload an enormous radio, giant barbecue and four crates of Stella from the back of the Ford Ranger, then wifey turns up in the suv with six kids who decide your porch is an ideal place to play football. "Oooh, it's lovely here in the middle of nowhere, you can let the kids just run free."
I've stopped using my two favourite Dales sites now, got one good one in the Lakes and one in Cornwall. Oh, and one in wet west Wales.


Moaning old git territory, probably. :old:
