CAMPSITES are aiming to reopen on July 4 - but campers might find themselves without any toilets or showers.
The Camping and Caravanning Club are hoping to open the majority of their sites on that date, so long as the government approves.

Caravan sites have been closed since Britain was placed on lockdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
Brits were ordered to stay at home and not to visit second homes, campsites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays.
Previous concerns warned that camping sites may struggle to open due to the reliance on communal areas and bathrooms.
Caravan sites, however, are self-contained, making it much easier to social distance.
Jon Boston, spokesperson for the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) told Sun Online Travel that parks could open in "phases".
He said that while communal areas such as cafes, swimming pools and bars will remain closed, the parks can reopen due to the self-contained nature of the facilities, as they all have their own kitchens and bathrooms.
He explained: "There is no definite date, but we hope for July."
