Talcum powder is evil. It’s really difficult to clean up in a wet environment.
Also I have to disagree with your view about fanore and their stance on not letting people who are not staying there pay to shower. We don’t allow this either we restrict the use of our facilities to campers staying on the campsite. I don’t know Fanore’s set up but our showers are not coin or token operated so if we allowed a walk to use the shower they could be in there for a few minutes or 30 minutes which means that our paying camping customers might have to wait. When we first opened we allowed it only to find one person who just wanted a quick shower was in the shower for 45 minutes and did their hand washing of clothes at the same time. And the shower was left in a terrible state. Now if I had tokens and charged for a set amount of time that might be different but I agree with Aaron and I hate paying extra for showers and I’m not going to start giving out one token per person per day.
I have also said on this website my site doesn’t lend itself to offer a service only as the service point is located adjacent to the entrance/exit and we don’t want it to get blocked. It might work for bigger sites with more space but not for us.
My job as a campsite owner is to look after my paying customers not service the needs of wild campers and I say that as a winter wild camper.
