OVERNIGHTING

From today, 1 June, BIAV understands that overnight stays for camping, caravanning and houseboating are allowed.

Camping ground or caravan parks can be opened for reasons of recreation and tourism, provided communal facilities such as shared showers and kitchens remain closed. Communal toilet facilities will remain open and physical distancing and regular cleaning must be implemented. On-site accommodation, which requires the use of communal areas such as shared showers and kitchens, remains restricted.

BIAV understands that overnighting is therefore permissible on all boat types, not just houseboats, so long as the boat is self-contained in terms of kitchen and bathroom facilities, and all social distancing requirements are adhered to.
