We stayed there in July, albeit in a static. Perhaps it was because it was busy, but I thought the touring pitches were a bit tight together.
Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

No thought about it there were very small pitches.

Just returned from the Scottish West Coast 300 around Dumfries and Galway. Fantastic drive and scenary but few camp sites so open for wild camping. Love it.
After 250 odd mostly autobahn miles, almost all in the rain we have reached another German site - this one is Hohen-Camping, Langenbrand on the edge of the Black Forest. TBH, there's not a lot to write home about - it's mostly occupied by empty permanently fixed caravans. It's actually near the centre of a town which at 1600 hrs was deathly quiet and we couldn't even see a bar or restaurant open in the place. My Mrs called it a one horse town but I reckon it's more a one fly town. At least there's clean showers, even if they do cost another 50 cents on top of the high end ACSI rate of €26 (and I've been warned not to use more than 4Kw of hook up juice but I don't think they've got it metered like the one yesterday. It's also cold again but hopefully that might improve once we get to France. Tomorrow, I'm looking to visit a memorial not too far from here to some boys from my school who were killed in a blizzard whilst on a hike in the forest in 1936.

Stoats Farm campsite on the Isle Of Wight. It even has underfloor heating
Went to see Chris @The Van Cave for some ST-X coilovers, H&R anti-roll bars and 20" staggered Inovit Blitz alloys.
Is that a bent prop shaft I can see there
Wow!
What a transformation that is.
Driving home as an absolute joy.
Didn't feel like I was on the Dover to Calais ferry.
What a legend Steve and the crew are.
All done and dusted in just over an hour.
Front dropped 70mm and rear 40mm.

Nice! And great to see a black van that doesn't have black wheels.
Continuing the homeward journey, we're back at Chateau de Gandspette (Eperlecques) via Camping au bord de l'Aisne (Guigncourt) - I've posted pictures of both already on this trip (from the outward journey) and the former in particular is well known to a lot of forum members so I won't bother again. Suffice to say that both are good and while the site at Guigncourt was very busy, they have now closed the on-site restaurant for the season which forced us to go to the local bistro which proved to be an excellent move (very nice steaks and an excellent 8.5% beer) so I doubt we will ever eat in the site place again. Gandspette is very quiet and we anticipated that the bar would be closed so will self cater tonight. The weather forecast isn't brilliant for the next few days so we've booked an earlier train home tomorrow. After lovely quiet french roads, I'm not looking forward to Folkestone to Gloucestershire tomorrow.

Not a huge fan of them on any colour of van tbh - you often lose all the detail with black wheels.
Edit: Just my opinion - not trying to diss anyone's wheels.
I do like the red splitter, where did you get it from?
My camper was built up for me I asked for the red splitter rather than the black one and they kindly provided.
Looks more like a path than a pitch!After a couple of weekends allotmenteering, we're back out and just down the road to Leek C&CC.
Pelted down on the way but stopped just as we pulled in
On the narrowest hard standing pitch I have ever seen!

Btw, Leek - is that where the VW sliding windows are made?
