Google 'free to use tourist icons'. There's millions of them.

Thank you. I didn't know if they had a special name or anything.

Try to use the same ones that Michelin/ukcampsite use. There's no point in you having a nicer icon if it isn't the one that everybody understands.

Trying to find all the same style is quite hard.

I only want no dogs, toilets, parking, surfing, cafe.

Thank you.

Nothing there that covers all my needs.

I am now thinking, to make it easier I will just have a coloured letter in a small box, eg D for Dogs allowed in a green box, D in a red box for no dogs etc.

What do you think? (Obviously I will put up a code for it.)

Trouble with letters is that they may mean something very different to your foreign visitors/non English speaking tourists.

I know you say you'll provide a key, but an icon should, wherever possible work without needing an explanation.

D (Dysgwr) for instance is the letter some Welsh speakers show on their car instead of the 'L' for learner.

When you ban dogs, in this way, you will get a lot of dogs turning up with colour blind owners. Green and red are traditional, and useless, I'm afraid.

There are stock images available here https://www.istockphoto.com/royalty-free/camping+icons#13c5256d but you do have to pay for them

V true.
Much clearer is a simple dog shape with a cross or a tick on top of it.

Trouble is (and believe me I have looked at sheets and sheets of these things) I only need 7 icons, and they don't all fall in the same style panel. It isn't for the camp site, it is for me to catagorize the facilities on all of the local beaches, as I think it is nicer than keep having it written in long hand on each page.

Adding, I am not adverse to paying for some, just I want them to match if I do.
