In the latest episode, uploaded on June 2, they stayed at Tebay Service Station on the M6 on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria.
The spot is also a farmshop and kitchen, with a caravan park, and is run by a local farming family.
Facilities include 50 “fully serviced” pitches for camper vans and caravans, as well as a toilet block, which includes washing up and laundry points.
There is also a dog walking trail which boasts “absolutely stunning” views, and a restaurant in which children eat for £1 all day, every day.
As they pull up, Keira says: “We aren’t just staying in a car park, it actually has it’s own campsite, which is pretty cool.”
However, the couple are baffled by a sign spotted after they park up.
Keira pans to the sign pitched in the grass alongside the tarmac, which says: “Please don’t play on the banks.”
Ric says: “Why? Why are they not able to play on the banks for?”
Keira adds: “That is a bit of a killjoy, innit?”
Later, Ric is seen holding one the children and tells him: “I’ve got some disappointing news. Read the sign… not allowed to play on the banks.”
Keira says: “What do you reckon to that rule, Jack?” And Ric adds: “Say ‘rules are for breaking'”.
The video cuts to show the two kids clambering around on the banks and then walking the family dog Rosie nearby.
Keira later gives a tour of the site saying: “All the pitches here are fully serviced, which means they’ve got your water point, waste point and your electric.
“If you come here you will be paying £26 (a night) for a pitch… we’re not used to paying for campsites but you guys decide if that is a good price or not.”
She continues: “They’ve got bins over there… and I think there’s around 50 pitches…” she adds as it starts to rain.
Later, Keira shows the site’s toilet block with a sign saying ‘toilets, showers, laundry and wash up’.
The family then takes Rosie for a walk along the dog trail, which Keira says a staff member claimed had “absolutely stunning” views.
In the evening, they try out the restaurant area, which offers cheap meals for kids.
The sign says: “Smaller portions of our freshly cooked main dishes cost £1 when bought with adult-sized hot meals.”
