A "self build" should meet the following criteria :- Has seats & a table. Sleeping accomodation (which may be made up from the seats), cooking facilities, & Storage facilities. All of these must be permanently fixed, apart from the table. If the vehicle is legally on the road & we deem it to be safe then it would be welcome on site. a "scruffy" looking van is only in the eye of the beholder, so once again, it would be welcome. Safety is the key here in my book.

.....If a campsite owner wants to make rules, making it very clear by so doing what to expect on that campsite at least a prospective camper, whatever the unit used, can make an informed choice.
I cannot understand the attitude of 'name and shame'. The shame is surely on those campers whose actions have meant some campsites have increased rules or become adults only.
That's pretty much how I see it..
..as I doubt very much that these rules that campsites have,are just plucked out of nowhere..they've probably been arrived at through previous experiences..and it is these that end up "spoiling" it for everyone else..
We used to use the campsite in question, it's a great location right at the foot of the Tor & the owners lived on the site. He used to moan all the time about the **** air-heads drumming all night and how he'd like to 'Ban the lot of them'. It was often full of vans that could only loosley be described as Motor-homes, I thought it was for sale a few years ago but don't know if it changed hands.
we were down in Bude last week (Budemeadows site) and when the weather turned we did a runner, the wife likes Glastonbury so, as we had left the rain behind us, we popped in for a few hours, and ended up outside the Isle Of Avalon site and nipped in.
My LDV Convoy was a minibus, is regd and insured as a campervan, has bed/cooker/etc, just needs 50% more BHP.....lol
..Well,they say they allow dogs,so they shouldn't be a problem..
On the subject of the fan heater,not sure what their "ampage" is,as we did have our power trip out on one occassion(..but that was when we'd switched the heater and kettle on at the same time).Not really an issue,as the trips are on the socket posts.(..just something to check when setting up,rather than have it trip at 7:30 in the morning,when you go to make the morning brew..! )
Check out Knight's chippy,on the walk into town,as the also serve "proper" cider..also check with the site as to which Indian takeaway they recommend,as the one they pointed us at,delivered to the site and it was lovely!
