Sounds like Houx, with the yellow concrete toilet building in the middle of the campsite.
Thanks for that, don't remember the colour but do remember it was concrete rank. I still have nightmares about queuing for the showers next to the ste-houses, hearing people dumping out last nights burgers into a hole in the ground

Multiply that rankness by a factor of 28 (one for every year before 2008) and you will have an idea of how bad it was back then !

As another interesting sociological aside, it was striking to note from the documentary that in those days an obese woman was considered such a curiosity that she starred in a fairground sideshow. Nowadays you can regularly see the same on the high streets of any provincial town...
I fking love Londoners. It's like in your head there are no fat chicks inside the m25.

No way!!!
I'd have slept in the car, and dumped in the bush. My experience alone was bad enough to make me constipated and give up showering in the day time.
