Caravan Sites - Open Area’s
Open up caravan sites and camping sites, along with open spaces for walking/exercise. Such a Loch Lomond or hills.
Social distancing can be put in place.
Social distancing can be put in place.
Why the contribution is important
Allows more freedom of movement. People experiencing a different environment to the one they have been stuck in for 7 weeks. Allowing someone to use their caravan on a park they have paid membership for should be allowed if social distancing can take place

Hard hit park owners and operators, and often wider rural economies, depend on seasonal income from holiday home owners. Over extending closures may have long-lasting and significant impact for companies and communities.
No need to open bars, restaurants and shared spaces yet.
As elsewhere, responsible behaviour and especially social distancing will be key.

Some basic queue management at toilet facilities. Showers are placed to wash so use of soap and water there is what we've been doing with our hands anyway. Don't open shops on site or play areas.
Encourage people with own wc and shower facilities to use them (caravans, motorhome).
People could be encouraged to bring most food with them, save putting pressure on locals, although camping does support local rural economies.
Put a max distance on travel.
Not allowing ferry travel just yet ie the islands.
Tents etc should be 6m apart anyway for fire regulations so distancing not an issue.
Outdoor activities better than indoor.
Allow local councils to make appropriate risk based decisions.

Caveats would be:
Owners only - no rentals.
Park public areas to remain closed.
Travel to parks within 50 miles radius only

All facilities (restaurants/cafes/games rooms/shower blocks etc) could remain closed. Caravan/motorhome users could use their own toilet/shower facilities (perhaps toilet blocks could be open for tent users only?)
A maximum travel distance (somewhere between 50-100 miles?)could be implemented, with driving licence providing proof of home address.
Benefits to health/mental health/tourist economy
