Adam F Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Pete from Burnham SAA called me last night. They want to know where there members can stay overnight and park their boats... Does anyone know of any guesthouses etc where they could do this? All I could think of is the Holiday Inn by the harbour, but I guess this would be around 50-70 squids per night, plenty of parking though! Any ideas guys?

duncan Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Rockley reckons to have been fully booked for that weekend through the following for months; and that will include the camping part. They don't do nightly either - would be about 350 for the minimum weekend sleeping 6. Last year the camp site just of the roundabout - A31/A350 was fully booked as an example too. However it might be worth contacting them as they could keep the boats with them there. Contact etc here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Just as a little tag to this subject. Does anybody know a small caravan site where I could leave a caravan and pay a storage fee and site fees when the caravan is used? Not a holiday site with shops, restaurants, etc., just something small. It would help us to fish more often and for whole weekends. Dilys is thrilled at the idea!!!

Bob F Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Inside Park just outside Blandford have storage for boats and caravans, and a small camp site. I store my caravan there. About 15 miles from Poole. BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Terry, wouldn't it make more sense if you store the boat and only tow the caravan down when you require it?! I suspect you don't want to stay overnight everytime you fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Thanx for the idea, Kam, but the boat is worth more than the caravan and more dear to my heart. I prefer to see it in the drive when not on the water. Also, other members of the family and friends may want to use the caravan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
