I know there's a review section on here but wondered if anyone could recommend any sites that seem particularly good for small vans. I stayed this weekend at a nice site but really felt very much like a fish out of water. It was a square field with caravans around the perimeter facing inwards, and a couple of touring vans and a largish motorhome in the middle. When I arrived the lady suggested I might like to go in the middle too. To me that would be living in a goldfish bowl - I could almost feel the net curtains twitching already. I persuaded her to let me join the row on the perimeter too. However as my van has a side door I wanted to park at right-angles to the others which she couldn't understand though nice enough when I explained that otherwise the van owners would be looking straight in at me from their windows. Also i feel that small van owners live outside far more, I was the only one with a table and chair outside, and was out there until it was too dark to read. They all seemed to go into their vans, shut the door and watch tv etc. I didn't mind them being unsociable but felt a bit self conscious really and very much on view and under scrutiny! I think I had more in common with the campers in the tent field really and will certainly ensure I go for a joint van and tent site in future, if only to get washing up sinks - not to be found in van sites.
I don't suppose it's just me that's had this experience - I'd love to hear of any sites that have good privacy and a bit more used to the needs of small van owners.
