[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 543275, member: 1498"] I have been involved in the setting up and construction of a local campsite in the last year and a half. I put in the drainage and the shower infrastructure and built the reception area to a 'rustic' idea that the owners had in their minds. A considerable amount of time and money was put into this and no corners were cut with presentation. This will result in trouble free operation of the showers/toilets and drains for a decade or more. There is recycled rainwater and solar PV to offset the standing costs too. The site was opened this spring and I have spent several evenings with friends who kept a touring caravan there during July and seen it from the campers eyes. The shower/toilet facilities are better than some have at home so have been praised by all who have passed through. The biggest plus will be the 'repeat business' next year! From what I can gather the visitor numbers have been steady and all comments have been positive. I'll know more in September when I have been asked to do some more work with my 360. Personally, we have a yurt in a secluded section of our plot which we may hire out in the future, unfortunately our infrastructure is still too primitive to offer out for £'s but it has been busy with friends and visiting offspring this year. The plot in which it sits is starting to mature offering sun traps and seclusion along with the plants and flowers making it colourful and producing fresh fruit. A yurt/pod/shepherds hut all seem to be in the £6k range. SS [/QUOTE]
