Welsh campsites will reopen to holidaymakers later this month

Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, has revealed that campsites will reopen in Wales later this month.

From tomorrow, self-contained accommodation such as static caravans and holiday lodge parks can reopen, but Drakeford has now shared the date for campsite facilities. 

Speaking on Radio 5 Live, Drakeford said they can reopen from July 25th. 

He also announced that house viewings of properties that are occupied in Wales can restart on July 27th.

Mr Drakeford said: “Campsites can open from July 25th if we make a success of the reopening of self-contained accommodation which will begin as of tomorrow.

“Campsites have shared facilities and it’s not like just going into a toilet in a shop, you have to use the shared facilities whether that’s showers, kitchens, toilets.

“We need to make sure campsites in Wales are well prepared, are safe to reopen.

“They will have a fortnight now to prepare and then from the 25th of July providing all is well people will be able to use those facilities as well.”
