Can I just buy a field in France and fill it with caravan / trailer home type accommadation. What are the planning rules and regs - obviously done professionally.
Answer
You can buy a field, but turning it into in a caravan site is a difficult, costly, long and protracted affair.To start with you need permission from the authorities as to the suitability of the field: suitable road acess, risks to or from surroundings., then planning permission has to be applied for, which is not given lightly and depends on how much opposition there is locally to such a site. Limits are imposed such as to the size of trailer homes permitted and their numbers. After that you have to have all facilities laid on such as water and electricity, which is extremely expensive, especially if you are far from existing resources. You have to have adequate facilities to dispose of sewerage, rubbish collection, also telephone, fire hydrants, etc... Finally when all this has taken place you are required to provide a number of communal facilities like toilets, showers, etc... which have to be inspected and pass muster.

What is the best way to find camp sites in France and Spain?
Ashley
Me and a few friends are planning on hiring a motor home and travelling from England through France to Spain and back. We have decided to stop of in some popular towns and cities but are worried that we will struggle to find places to park the motor home while we sleep. Any help on where to find this information would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Go to hostelworld.com, or another hostel website like this... I used these a few months ago, in both france and Spain. You will have no trouble finding multiple sites in every major city you go to and even smaller ones. we personally stayed in campgrounds in madrid, valencia, Biot, and in italy as well (cinque terre and rome), all found on hostelworld.com.
Often you can book early/book for more days to get cheaper rates.
Good luck and have fun!
