Wife has some concerns re camping

[Sogra]

A long while since I camped but under current circumstances it might be an option. I am getting some reluctance from my wife on the following

Decent toilets
Decent showers
Power

I am pretty sure I can handle the power with an inverter generator but what are camp sites like about the noise of these although they are pretty quite

Toilets and showers Any suggestions for camp sites with good facilities We live in the Northwest but distance really isn’t a problem.

Also what solutions are there for toilets in the middle of the night, I am of an age where I would need to go at least once or twice.

I know I am not the only one looking at camping as an option. I really want to do it but I do understand I don’t need the same comforts

Thanks

It sounds like your wife doesn’t really want to go camping and is making excuses. If that is the case, you probably want to seriously consider not going camping.

As Bristolracer correctly points out above, camping isn’t for everyone. We don’t like leaving comforts behind, but if possible want our holidays or breaks to be more luxurious than being at home.

I have been camping 3 times in my life, and hated it so much that I have vowed never to try it again. Fortunately my wife also hates it, so that makes things easy

I think the same so am trying to make it as attractive as possible. I did it on my own about 10 years ago in my classic car and it was okay but that was only one night at a car show.

We do like the comforts of a nice hotel or cruise but I also really fancy a few days camping. Would also like to camp on my motor bike but there she said there is no way she is getting on that

The reply’s to this built up pretty quickly. Some really good suggestions. I think for what we would need would be decent money with a very high risk of only using it once.

I have thought of buying a camper van but everyone who is selling one is asking top dollar, can’t blame them.

South of France makes good sense. We have said we fancied a drive down to the South of France in my TR6 then to the Italian Lakes when we retire plan is to go at 59 in 12 months so might see how she feels about renting a Caravan for a few nights as part of the trip.


We already spend a lot of time in France (or did) until COVID and BREXIT.


Thanks all
