You could park outside my house for f*ck all. And I'd come out with a few beers and have a sit & a chat with you. It's a public street, and you are entitled to park where you like. But I'm not anywhere coastal, although near a canal network with a lot of towpaths for walkers/bike riders, which are quite picturesque.
At that price I would go to a campsite, showers, toilets, water and waste, bins, electric hookup, freezer for ice blocks, outside sink, washing machines, awning and chairs, unlimited nights and information leaflets in reception.
Classic entirely disconnected councillors wanting £££ for a muddy field, without facilities out of season! Lake District -£1 overnight 8>8 within main carpark that’s got facilities & it’s only 50m of Derwent water.
Morning Shaun. Think you was both right the car park is set up to fail. £21 just to park on grass with on facilities is a rip off. At least you found somewhere to stay in the end. 😊
Only a fiver in tintagel carpark for the same deal though 5pm till 10 am I think and the pub refunds that if you have a meal in there, I wouldn't pay £21 for what Bude is offering, I think Darren is on the money with the set up to fail hypothesis
I feel like they are trying to ensure they can justify not allowing overnight parking by saying "it wasn't used" honestly wish we had the same approach to van life as Europe. Bringing in money to local businesses too - like pub visits, meals etc. Keep up the great content. I've just bought you a beer to say thanks 👍🏻
In France they have Aires that are parking areas. Some are free but most you have to pay for now, a mere 8 to 10€ per night. You can arrive and leave when you want. Some have marked pitches some don’t. You’re not allowed to sit outside on chairs or hang up washing but they do provide a ‘bourne’ that you pay a couple of euros to use. You can fill with fresh water, empty grey waste and on the other side you can empty your black waste. Bude Council could easily do this for the cost of putting in a road and pitches! At least Europe wants us 🙄
Who are the people that run our councils ?!?! …. Why is it that they don’t seem to have any common sense or logic with the stupid ideas and rules they come up with 🤦🏻 Another good video Shaun All the best Stu
Hi Shaun…..near me in Totnes Devon, there is a large hard standing car park where motor homes can park overnight (same conditions you saw at Bude) £10 a night . It’s always well used. 😊
Hello Shaun! Great video! Especially enjoyed the hoovering bit! Nothing better than watching a man clean! Your wife is a blessed woman! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
A step in the right direction, but being a British tourist destination they should be a little bit more aware of the fact that field is going to end up a muddy, flooded, unused failure. They’ve missed the opportunity there. As your mate said out of season the car parks are empty. Over priced and not an answer. I bet they’ve not even provided bins for that £21 a night!
Then after a year the field will be sold to a housing developer. So when the council are asked why it will be something like "we invested a lot of money into this project but no one used it so selling it is the only way we can get a return".
Praa Sands £12 for 24hours....yes £20 plus for Bude is way too expensive....When you've got excellent Camper van parking at places like Tintagel...makes you wonder...hoping your battery light isn't nothing to serious...I know that Gutt sinking feeling well with vans...thankfully the Mark 7 Transit seems OK for a bit....heading St Agnes way nxt week end...May see you out n about...Cheers 😀
I’m sorry but, why would you pay £21 to park in a car park overnight with no facilities and with that view?!? Especially when you can stay on a camp site for not much more than that! 😂 Disappointing 😔
Hi shaun. We have a '71 vwbaywindow and were hoping to stay in a premier inn last year but unfortunately we had to change plans as bude Cornwall council wouldnt let us park it in a carpark overnight even though it was our daily runaround.i was hoping this new scheme might be ok but it just seems the people with camper vans are being stitched up😢 if i had a coach or lorry its no problem .. no visiting bude for us until things change !!
Shaun, love all your videos but this is up there with the best of them. Informative, an honest opinion approach and at no point lowering the standard by slagging off the council like most do My issues 1) The 6m apart rule, funny how they bang on about this yet cars are allowed to park next to each other. I know it’s to do with certain things but most people carry spare fuel in their cars so don’t see the difference 2) £21 with no facilities is absolutely shocking. I’ve parked up in the best campsite in North Wales on hard standing, EHU, piping hot showers for £14 for 24 hrs 3) You are both correct, this has been set up to already fail. You’ve both highlighted how easy it can be where you ended up parking and how much it cost. It was also highlighted how much it would of cost if you arrived just before, which also highlights it’s a money making racket by the council There are people out there yes, who ruin it for others, but maybe the council top brass need to see your videos and how you respect the areas you visit and maybe it will change there mind on certain things and also make them realise their missing a trick because their making people with vans go elsewhere
Great vlog again. Not surprised cornwall council got it wrong again..... £21 to stay in a field for a night, I would rather pay the extra and stay at woods campsite with hot showers and a bar 🍺
In my hometown Hawick there’s free park up facilities,where you can empty your toilet.and it’s beside the lovely Wilton Dean park,great for walking your dog and has a lovely cafe.also many good supermarkets and local businesses close by.👍
Does the £21 include you hoovering my van too shaun? 😂 Great video as usual Cornwall Council representatives, if you're reading this then the price is just too high, for context most c&c campsites and rustic style campsites are cheaper and inc 24hr stay and at least a w/c I respect what the council are trialling but as you say its destined to fail at that price and off season will suffer. When will these organisations work out that "vanning" has never been so popular and they need to embrace it and not push it away! Many other European countries flourish because of their welcoming attitude towards it.
great episode shaun ! the council are a bit crazy , maybe it is ,set it up for fail or they have compared it to campsite fees , but you cant without no loo etc , must try harder cornwall council ,me thinks!
It’s a rip off in my view. £21 for overnight parking on a grassy field that can only be used when not wet; and no services. I’d rather stay at a pub car park, Tintagel or Praa sands. In France atm. Paid 10 euros for 24h with services and we use the local services. Cornwall needs to rethink that strategy.
The sign says Motorhomes, is yours registered as a motorhome? What does the V5 reg document say it is? Does the sign say no overnight parking of vans in the carpark area?
It seems the further south and west one gets in their van the harder is to park up for free or for a small fee…. must be I haven’t been to Cornwall for a long time mostly going to Devon when my son lives…. But there are a lot of restrictions there too, and I never come down from North Wales in my large van only long wheelbase minivan so I can hide up pretty much anywhere… one just doesn’t want to get the knock or a ticket for that matter. But anyway, thank you for this review on camper parking in popular places . Cheers john
We parked beachfront at Aberaeron - if your van is over 1.5t OR any size and converted for habitation (think that was the term) then you have to pay a set fee of £9 which covers you for up to 24hrs. No option for less - we only wanted 2 hrs. You could park anywhere though - it was all paved. No rules that I saw on space between vans. The marked spaces were tiny though. No facilities either.
6 mtr rule is for fire risk. Very expensive. But they tried it at Dawlish, ended up with a mini commune, it looked gross so they cancelled it. We are full timers.
£21 a night … no facilities AND having to be up and gone by 9am they are having a laugh!!! We bought a hoover looks the same about £39 B&M as we have doggos so it’s a must in a small space :) thanks for your videos they always are a great watch ❤
Hi. Great video as always. Does anyone know if Darren has his own youtube channel? Does seem like the UK is way behind on campervan sites with even basic facilities. £21 for the pleasure of parking in a field which you know is going to turn into a muddy mess which everyone will get stick in and then get charged even more to get pulled out. Love the content Shaun.
@@Fish-Eat-Sleep-RepeatHi. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Im from Nottingham too and was hoping to see how you designed the inside of your van. Love the Raptor pain job.
@@vancraft_chronicles ah that’s good, if u can somehow get your number to me I’ll call u and happy to meet up for u to take a look at my van, I’m in Wollaton.
I’m seeing this problem more and more too with the car camper, let alone with a van. Thanks Shaun this was really good and interesting as hell. Also… £21 a night for that I don’t think so 🙈😂
The councils attempt to help vanlife isn't good enough.. it's a futile attempt of providing vanlifers with a safe legal place to stay with no loss to them if it doesn't work. And if it does attract some people to pay £21, it will only ruin that field, it's actually cheaper to stay in a motorway services in my micro camper and have 24hr facilities.
I agree more councils should do better and cheaper. Lafrowda car park St Just town council are offering free parking for vans and motorhomes ONLY. Not been saw it on FB. Hopefully true 😊
And that's why I've just done a month in France & Spain, free park ups with hab service facilities and some with toilets. It's a shame but I probably won't ever visit Cornwall again. Cheers K.
Are you sure you have to pay the council to overnight there and not the other way round? I pay £12 per night, Isle of Purbec, Dorset, for a well appointed campsite.
£21.50,on a field,no toilets even,and you can't get on till 6pm,it's a no go,your right, set up to fail...just had a weekend on a 5star site,fully serviced pitches,including toilet waste emptying on your pitch.£29.50...no contest.
Thank you for another informative video Shaun and love all your videos but I don’t have a camper van can you do some more snorkelling videos please I miss them 😊
£10 would be more reasonable, but without the 1800/0900 time restrictions. Do councillors hate vanners despite the fact we spend money in local businesses?
The list of rules for that car park seems ok, French aires have similar rules about not putting out awnings and stuff. But the difference is the French aires are cheaper than campsites.
Cornwall County Council or any other council for that matter are really just interested in the revenue. I wouldn’t want to pay £20 for that. It is a means of setting it up to fail. For just an overnight park up £10 is reasonable with no facilities. We pay taxes the same as the next person but it feels like they are really not interested in that at all.
Used to love going to Cornwall. This is as a car driver Not now. All you get is ripping off tourist. Car parks nightmare all camera monitored. High fees, different apps. No phone signal. Stress knowing you’re getting fined. Tourist unfriendly. Went to Scotland total opposite.
Bude carpark - looks like a good idea badly done, I tend to agree it's almost set up to fail , I think the Rugby club used to run small pop up summer season site for vans, Black rock car park Widemouth bay offer overnight parking for van right on the beach 😊
As you have said they set it up to fail from the start so they can say there is no demand, surely the fact tintagel can do it for £5 a night and mevagissy for £10? Shows if done properly there is demand
Hi there, just saw your channel today, nice build video's!. Recently purchased a transit same as yours, can I ask what wheel and tyre size do you have fitted? Thanks, Barry.
I notice you and Wendell made an appearance in a Mail Online article today. A clip of your video was shown when you filmed at a nudist beach in Cornwall. Just wondered if you knew about it. 🤔
Hi Shaun. I’m not a surfer so what do you mean by the surfs blown out. I love your vlogs and as I lived in St Erth many years ago I love watching and reminiscing.
It means the wind has turned the waves in to messy white water so not really surfable. I mean you could still surf the white waves but it’s just not as good
That's absolutely ridiculous! What a stupid idea. I don't think they are doing it as a 'set up to fail' though. I think they're just clueless about what's needed and what people will pay for a field with no facilities just for the night. With day parking added it's way more than you'd pay for a normal campsite with all the facilities and you can put out your chairs and awning. No one will use this. They needed to talk to who would be the main users before going ahead with a hair-brained scheme, but obviously didn't.
Love this episode! It’s strangely satisfying to watch a man cleaning! You’ve never been more attractive to me than when you started “Hoovering”! 😂❤🚙🇬🇧🇺🇸
The rules are all very reasonable, I'd be perfectly happy with the distance between vans - further the better in fact, the £21 is too high, the grass is going to be problematic with folk getting stuck!
.i would rather pay £30 and have toilets and showers . £21 is reasonable . but it's not if it doesn't have toilet facilities. It's just a field ? Campervan owners want a cheap / safe / comfortable place to stay. if it was cheaper most campervan owners will use it . And it will soon get a good response around the campervan / motorhome community. add a toilets/ shower block and yes the £21a night is worth it . Still expensive but people would probably pay it
20 quid per night and not facility is completle mad, Tintagel has a nice care park with road and gras only where you park and only 5 quid over night plus that you can sit over day as well... why does Cornwall Council hate campers?? Cuz we bring them a lot of money in an area where there is nothing but beach and cold water....
@@LoveSundays yes that`s the one, but we used the one on the back of your mate`s van, the one with nice grass as i got a small kido and prefer some small grass, but yes, that`s the one, maybe this summer we will also visit the castle as it is quite expensive for a family on a budget
How are the council going to enforce the camping laws on that field anyway? You know people are gonna take the piss and doing what they want, they won't employ security as its temporary and they won't install CCTV either. Plus they didn't inform anyone about the change of date, it sounds like a shambles tbh, like you said tho, need to give it a go
I live in Bude and you are right just set up to fail as you know Tintagel £5 I hate living here tbh after 18 yrs its changed so much and not for the better
I think you’re missing the point. The council don’t want you to use it. That is why it’s £21 per night. There is no down side. 1) No parking, 2) Park and pay £21, 3) Camera and fine if you do not pay.

I think we need to start a "you can park outside my home for a £10" app.
You could park outside my house for f*ck all. And I'd come out with a few beers and have a sit & a chat with you. It's a public street, and you are entitled to park where you like.
But I'm not anywhere coastal, although near a canal network with a lot of towpaths for walkers/bike riders, which are quite picturesque.
It exists lol
Apparently if you do this your insurance becomes void if anything happens to the van
What is the app called? I always offer this to anyone who may be passing. As we aren’t fulltime vanlife yet.
@@Ritarelay I think they all do it. I know JustPark does, I imagine Ringo and PayByPhone do too. You can rent your driveway out at times to suit you.
£21 is absolutely outrageous, I wouldn’t expect to pay more than a fiver.
You can't sit outside in a chair, no running water, no loos ... nope. They can forget it. What a silly waste of everyone's time!
But you can get a pitch on a site for £20 a night. With facilities and furniture and awnings out. This is definitely going to fail on purpose.
At that price I would go to a campsite, showers, toilets, water and waste, bins, electric hookup, freezer for ice blocks, outside sink, washing machines, awning and chairs, unlimited nights and information leaflets in reception.
Here in France we have Aires everywhere for free. Most even have water and disposal. Good for local business. I wouldn't pay that price.
Agreed
Cornwall hates campers unless they are making a fortune from them.

ive had some dealings with the tintagel parking mafia...think they own the village
and it is 100x better then this one, rocky road, car park space well made, toilets...for a fiver, been there last summer and it was great

We didn’t see any bins
@@LoveSundays I think you’re right where you said it’s like they’ve set it up to fail - certainly appears that way 😂
So they’ve changed that field into a campsite. Did they get planning permission for that? Planners normally want to see things done properly.
Good question
Then after a year the field will be sold to a housing developer. So when the council are asked why it will be something like "we invested a lot of money into this project but no one used it so selling it is the only way we can get a return".

Its sunday morning and I am watching to blokes hoover their vans in Cornwall, such is the internet
I didn’t do any hoovering lol 😂
@@Fish-Eat-Sleep-Repeat mate what paint is you've used on your van.. looks great 👍
@@D4VE26 Thanks Dave, It is Trade for paints Military grade Umbra Grey Matt finish with the Raptor Paint finish kit.
Hi there, just saw your channel today, nice build video's!. Recently purchased a transit same as yours, can I ask what wheel and tyre size do you have fitted?
Thanks,
Barry.
I notice you and Wendell made an appearance in a Mail Online article today. A clip of your video was shown when you filmed at a nudist beach in Cornwall. Just wondered if you knew about it. 🤔
Hi yes I’ve been made aware of the article. Not sure I agree with what they wrote though
Maybe if it was £21 for 24 hours, but just for overnight it is too much. I can imagine it getting very boggy too !
A real shame, the council need to do more for £21.
So basically. Don't even go there on foot. Unless you want to be fined or kicked off for breathing!
Hi Shaun. I’m not a surfer so what do you mean by the surfs blown out. I love your vlogs and as I lived in St Erth many years ago I love watching and reminiscing.
It means the wind has turned the waves in to messy white water so not really surfable. I mean you could still surf the white waves but it’s just not as good
@@LoveSundays Great for Bass fishing tho 🤣🤣
That's absolutely ridiculous! What a stupid idea. I don't think they are doing it as a 'set up to fail' though. I think they're just clueless about what's needed and what people will pay for a field with no facilities just for the night. With day parking added it's way more than you'd pay for a normal campsite with all the facilities and you can put out your chairs and awning. No one will use this. They needed to talk to who would be the main users before going ahead with a hair-brained scheme, but obviously didn't.
That’s Cornwall for you
Did you give them your feedback in writing so they can learn more about whats needed?
Myself and Darren are working on that currently.
Welcome to the land of wreckers, pirates, smugglers and other con artists now wearing council badges.
Love this episode! It’s strangely satisfying to watch a man cleaning! You’ve never been more attractive to me than when you started “Hoovering”! 😂❤🚙🇬🇧🇺🇸
You nearly lost me when you got the vacuum cleaner out
The rules are all very reasonable, I'd be perfectly happy with the distance between vans - further the better in fact, the £21 is too high, the grass is going to be problematic with folk getting stuck!
You think not being able to sit outside in a chair having a cup of tea/coffee is unreasonable?
You need to invest in a rain coat, gives me so much pain see you go out in the rain wearing a shell coat what ever there called, love the vids
I’ve got a rain coat but I only wear it in really heavy rain. The Patagonia keeps me dry enough for day to day weather 😂
.i would rather pay £30 and have toilets and showers . £21 is reasonable . but it's not if it doesn't have toilet facilities. It's just a field ? Campervan owners want a cheap / safe / comfortable place to stay. if it was cheaper most campervan owners will use it . And it will soon get a good response around the campervan / motorhome community. add a toilets/ shower block and yes the £21a night is worth it . Still expensive but people would probably pay it
2 men 1 hoover. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
20 quid per night and not facility is completle mad, Tintagel has a nice care park with road and gras only where you park and only 5 quid over night plus that you can sit over day as well... why does Cornwall Council hate campers?? Cuz we bring them a lot of money in an area where there is nothing but beach and cold water....
I reviewed that one too

@@LoveSundays yes that`s the one, but we used the one on the back of your mate`s van, the one with nice grass as i got a small kido and prefer some small grass, but yes, that`s the one, maybe this summer we will also visit the castle as it is quite expensive for a family on a budget
How are the council going to enforce the camping laws on that field anyway? You know people are gonna take the piss and doing what they want, they won't employ security as its temporary and they won't install CCTV either. Plus they didn't inform anyone about the change of date, it sounds like a shambles tbh, like you said tho, need to give it a go
I live in Bude and you are right just set up to fail as you know Tintagel £5 I hate living here tbh after 18 yrs its changed so much and not for the better
Thanks

I think you’re missing the point. The council don’t want you to use it. That is why it’s £21 per night. There is no down side. 1) No parking, 2) Park and pay £21, 3) Camera and fine if you do not pay.
Like we said they’ve set it up to fail. So they can say we tried but no one used it
21 quid is too strong ...most CL sites aren't that with some facilities too
Rip off, we stopped overnight by the golf course
Plus guys off season with all the water vans and cars are just going to rip the grass up and make it boggy so more reason to say no due to damage x
You've left out the vacuum affiliate link 😮

I think if Cornwall don't start being more friendly towards campervans there just driving people away. I was down there last week and it was dead.
That's a rip off , Bude Council should be ashamed! What else can go wrong with your van !?! 🙄👍🏴
