You could park outside my house for f*ck all. And I'd come out with a few beers and have a sit & a chat with you. It's a public street, and you are entitled to park where you like. But I'm not anywhere coastal, although near a canal network with a lot of towpaths for walkers/bike riders, which are quite picturesque.

​@@Ritarelay I think they all do it. I know JustPark does, I imagine Ringo and PayByPhone do too. You can rent your driveway out at times to suit you.

But you can get a pitch on a site for £20 a night. With facilities and furniture and awnings out. This is definitely going to fail on purpose.

£21 is absolutely outrageous, I wouldn’t expect to pay more than a fiver.

You can't sit outside in a chair, no running water, no loos ... nope. They can forget it. What a silly waste of everyone's time!

At that price I would go to a campsite, showers, toilets, water and waste, bins, electric hookup, freezer for ice blocks, outside sink, washing machines, awning and chairs, unlimited nights and information leaflets in reception.

Classic entirely disconnected councillors wanting £££ for a muddy field, without facilities out of season! Lake District -£1 overnight 8>8 within main carpark that’s got facilities & it’s only 50m of Derwent water.

Here in France we have Aires everywhere for free. Most even have water and disposal. Good for local business. I wouldn't pay that price.

Agreed

Cornwall hates campers unless they are making a fortune from them.

In France they have Aires that are parking areas. Some are free but most you have to pay for now, a mere 8 to 10€ per night. You can arrive and leave when you want. Some have marked pitches some don’t. You’re not allowed to sit outside on chairs or hang up washing but they do provide a ‘bourne’ that you pay a couple of euros to use. You can fill with fresh water, empty grey waste and on the other side you can empty your black waste. Bude Council could easily do this for the cost of putting in a road and pitches! At least Europe wants us 🙄

Morning Shaun. Think you was both right the car park is set up to fail. £21 just to park on grass with on facilities is a rip off. At least you found somewhere to stay in the end. 😊

I feel like they are trying to ensure they can justify not allowing overnight parking by saying "it wasn't used" honestly wish we had the same approach to van life as Europe.

Hi shaun. We have a '71 vwbaywindow and were hoping to stay in a premier inn last year but unfortunately we had to change plans as bude Cornwall council wouldnt let us park it in a carpark overnight even though it was our daily runaround.i was hoping this new scheme might be ok but it just seems the people with camper vans are being stitched up😢 if i had a coach or lorry its no problem .. no visiting bude for us until things change !!

Shaun, love all your videos but this is up there with the best of them. Informative, an honest opinion approach and at no point lowering the standard by slagging off the council like most do My issues 1) The 6m apart rule, funny how they bang on about this yet cars are allowed to park next to each other. I know it’s to do with certain things but most people carry spare fuel in their cars so don’t see the difference 2) £21 with no facilities is absolutely shocking. I’ve parked up in the best campsite in North Wales on hard standing, EHU, piping hot showers for £14 for 24 hrs 3) You are both correct, this has been set up to already fail. You’ve both highlighted how easy it can be where you ended up parking and how much it cost. It was also highlighted how much it would of cost if you arrived just before, which also highlights it’s a money making racket by the council There are people out there yes, who ruin it for others, but maybe the council top brass need to see your videos and how you respect the areas you visit and maybe it will change there mind on certain things and also make them realise their missing a trick because their making people with vans go elsewhere

Then after a year the field will be sold to a housing developer. So when the council are asked why it will be something like "we invested a lot of money into this project but no one used it so selling it is the only way we can get a return".

We parked beachfront at Aberaeron - if your van is over 1.5t OR any size and converted for habitation (think that was the term) then you have to pay a set fee of £9 which covers you for up to 24hrs. No option for less - we only wanted 2 hrs. You could park anywhere though - it was all paved. No rules that I saw on space between vans. The marked spaces were tiny though. No facilities either.

So they’ve changed that field into a campsite. Did they get planning permission for that? Planners normally want to see things done properly.

Good question

The sign says Motorhomes, is yours registered as a motorhome? What does the V5 reg document say it is? Does the sign say no overnight parking of vans in the carpark area?

This is interesting. I actually parked there for 24 hours last summer while we stayed in the Premier Inn as the van wasn't finished yet

Love Bude. And the viewing point past widemouth Bay pub on the right

great episode shaun ! the council are a bit crazy , maybe it is ,set it up for fail or they have compared it to campsite fees , but you cant without no loo etc , must try harder cornwall council ,me thinks!

Great vlog again. Not surprised cornwall council got it wrong again..... £21 to stay in a field for a night, I would rather pay the extra and stay at woods campsite with hot showers and a bar 🍺

Hi there, just saw your channel today, nice build video's!. Recently purchased a transit same as yours, can I ask what wheel and tyre size do you have fitted? Thanks, Barry.

Does the £21 include you hoovering my van too shaun? 😂 Great video as usual Cornwall Council representatives, if you're reading this then the price is just too high, for context most c&c campsites and rustic style campsites are cheaper and inc 24hr stay and at least a w/c I respect what the council are trialling but as you say its destined to fail at that price and off season will suffer. When will these organisations work out that "vanning" has never been so popular and they need to embrace it and not push it away! Many other European countries flourish because of their welcoming attitude towards it.

6 mtr rule is for fire risk. Very expensive. But they tried it at Dawlish, ended up with a mini commune, it looked gross so they cancelled it. We are full timers.

I have used the cap park in Tintagel which for five pounds for the night was a good find.

And that's why I've just done a month in France & Spain, free park ups with hab service facilities and some with toilets. It's a shame but I probably won't ever visit Cornwall again. Cheers K.

It’s a rip off in my view. £21 for overnight parking on a grassy field that can only be used when not wet; and no services. I’d rather stay at a pub car park, Tintagel or Praa sands. In France atm. Paid 10 euros for 24h with services and we use the local services. Cornwall needs to rethink that strategy.

Are you sure you have to pay the council to overnight there and not the other way round? I pay £12 per night, Isle of Purbec, Dorset, for a well appointed campsite.

Cheers for your videos m8. More appreciated than you think 👍

£21 a night … no facilities AND having to be up and gone by 9am they are having a laugh!!! We bought a hoover looks the same about £39 B&M as we have doggos so it’s a must in a small space :) thanks for your videos they always are a great watch ❤

We love Bude ❤ We stay at Upper Lynstone, not that expensive for a lovely campsite.

£39 per night at Wooda Farm up the road on hardstanding...

Thank you for another informative video Shaun and love all your videos but I don’t have a camper van can you do some more snorkelling videos please I miss them 😊

They have 100% done that put everyone off . ! ! And So they get stuck need pulling out and saying it’s causing more issues in the area

I agree more councils should do better and cheaper. Lafrowda car park St Just town council are offering free parking for vans and motorhomes ONLY. Not been saw it on FB. Hopefully true 😊

Bude carpark - looks like a good idea badly done, I tend to agree it's almost set up to fail , I think the Rugby club used to run small pop up summer season site for vans, Black rock car park Widemouth bay offer overnight parking for van right on the beach 😊

Ocean view road is the best spot in Bude. Always spaces and can stay over night.

The councils attempt to help vanlife isn't good enough.. it's a futile attempt of providing vanlifers with a safe legal place to stay with no loss to them if it doesn't work. And if it does attract some people to pay £21, it will only ruin that field, it's actually cheaper to stay in a motorway services in my micro camper and have 24hr facilities.

Use a piece of fake grass as a mat. Works great for keeping sand and dirt out of campers.

The list of rules for that car park seems ok, French aires have similar rules about not putting out awnings and stuff. But the difference is the French aires are cheaper than campsites.

Cornwall County Council or any other council for that matter are really just interested in the revenue. I wouldn’t want to pay £20 for that. It is a means of setting it up to fail. For just an overnight park up £10 is reasonable with no facilities. We pay taxes the same as the next person but it feels like they are really not interested in that at all.

£21 ??? For a muddy field ? Not even a water tap or anywhere to empty grey waste ? It's a no from me.

That hoover is brilliant.

As you have said they set it up to fail from the start so they can say there is no demand, surely the fact tintagel can do it for £5 a night and mevagissy for £10? Shows if done properly there is demand

£21.50,on a field,no toilets even,and you can't get on till 6pm,it's a no go,your right, set up to fail...just had a weekend on a 5star site,fully serviced pitches,including toilet waste emptying on your pitch.£29.50...no contest.

Hi. Great video as always. Does anyone know if Darren has his own youtube channel? Does seem like the UK is way behind on campervan sites with even basic facilities. £21 for the pleasure of parking in a field which you know is going to turn into a muddy mess which everyone will get stick in and then get charged even more to get pulled out.

That's absolutely ridiculous! What a stupid idea. I don't think they are doing it as a 'set up to fail' though. I think they're just clueless about what's needed and what people will pay for a field with no facilities just for the night. With day parking added it's way more than you'd pay for a normal campsite with all the facilities and you can put out your chairs and awning. No one will use this. They needed to talk to who would be the main users before going ahead with a hair-brained scheme, but obviously didn't.

Darren is spot on..who would take that money and provide naff all

Plus guys off season with all the water vans and cars are just going to rip the grass up and make it boggy so more reason to say no due to damage x

.i would rather pay £30 and have toilets and showers . £21 is reasonable . but it's not if it doesn't have toilet facilities. It's just a field ? Campervan owners want a cheap / safe / comfortable place to stay. if it was cheaper most campervan owners will use it . And it will soon get a good response around the campervan / motorhome community. add a toilets/ shower block and yes the £21a night is worth it . Still expensive but people would probably pay it
