Wouldnt it be great if there was such a park that provided: - Free accommodation - Free food - free power - unlimited caravan stays Land wouldnt be a problem its cheap in many places, local wildlife could provide the food and wind turbine for power.

I just don't understand why people have to have a huge fire, they start off sitting in a group around the fire pit then as it builds to a huge...
