  • Y

    Yvonne

    Asked on November 22nd, 2024

    When the accommodations are Camping with facilities could you explain what that means.

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      Campsites do have basic facilities, but they usually aren't to the same standard you would find in Western countries. For example, the bathroom facilities can be very basic. Toilet paper is rarely provided, and shower facilities can be as simple as a hose pipe spurting out cold water. Wild camps have no facilities at all. Camping with facilities means it is well-situated with flush toilets and showers.

  • R

    Rachael

    Asked on October 1st, 2016

    What does a campsite with basic facilities refer to?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten October 2016

      Campsites do have facilities but they usually aren't the same standard you would find in western countries. For example the bathroom facilities can be very basic (the toilets may be a squat-style hole in the ground). There is rarely toilet paper provided and shower facilities can be as simple as a hose pipe spurting out cold water. Wild camps have no facilities at all.
