Thrifty camping.

Options
Hi,
I am Paol, a half breed redskin from Southampton and I have joined to show you how to have a weeks camping holiday at very low cost. Non commercial and non profit etc.
Being a 'camperholic' and getting grumpy about the cost of campsites rising over the past 2 years, I now arrange camping meets in unusual places where the cost is way down low I do this independently and for fun to help fellow camperholics have a break without breaking the bank!
I find venues that are 'unofficial', where the land owner will let me have one of these meets and then 'invite other campers to join me. The authorities [if they should hear about it], have to give 28 days notice to make you leave. As We are only there for 7 days, no permits etc have to be paid for.
The land owner gets a 'back hander' and Bob's your teapot!
This means that we camp at our own risk and have no recourse for loss, damage, injury etc, but we get a great week for 50 quid a unit with no wallet busting fees.
With admins permission [Please], I will post details of a meet in the New Forest for next August.
Regards Paol. :)

    Because it's a moneysaving way of camping?

    Though you are paying for facilities like showers, loos etc on campsites - will there be these basics at your meets?
