New Fees Sign in The Pines 17-Oct-2012 At 7:21:17 AM Access T CliffCare

Writing this from my hotel in Marrakech and about to start the long haul back tomorrow morning to london and then Oz, so won't write much at the mo as tired nd hungry. Along with everyone else I dont agree that the campsite fees situation is a workable one although I am not sure how and if they will be enforcing it. What I do know though from conversations over the years is that Araps campers were a lucky bunch - those $2 person a night fees were never really official. It was always supposed to be the same as the other parks as per the price noted now. A forward thinking person years ago thought this would be hopefully a better way of recouping the fees. An inspection by PV management recently discovered the cheaper fees. I will look into this more upon my return but I think that the $2 fees were the unofficial ones unfortunately. Defined camp sites? If anyone has read the Araps feasability study you will see that defined sites are in there. While not everything in the study is necessarily going to go ahead, some of those recommendations will be taken on board. To think that Araps campgrounds are never going to change - highly unlikely.
I'm really tired and hungry now - speak more when I'm back in Oz

Cheers
