Hi bit of a strange request this one but does anyone know of campsites near
or under the approach to airfields both civil or military that have toilet
blocks and electric hook up? I know of two myself just to get the ball
rolling, Whitecliffe Bay, IOW is close to the small airfield of Bembridge
and Rutland camping and caravanning site is very close to Harrier base at
RAF Cottesmore (but not mentioned on their website). Do you know of more?

I can go one better - Holmsley Campsite in the New Forest - it's sited on a
2nd World War airfield!

What about Shell Island, you drive over the causway next to the base at
Llanbedr to get there. Can't remember of it has electrical hook ups
though.

RAF Valley is surrounded by campsites. The one at the 32 end has hook ups
etc. No need to book, the noise from the first jet off at 0800 clears the
pitches for you.

Wouldn't have thought so, since caravans aren't allowed on the island.
