Hi Trevchrizy, I think the main problem is of course the time of the year, when most sites are heaving with no pitches left. I have been a CCC member for many years and at one time the clubs policy was to allow the warden now( site managers )to leave a few pitches empty for the passing tourer. Not any more, I contacted headquarters about it and was told it is at the wardens discretion. The clubs are out to make as much money as possible and always greet you with (have you booked) which in my case I never do !

The answere would seem to be to check out a CL farm type site near to where you will be for one night. This booking thing is a right bind as you say and goes against the whole idea of freedom and motorhoming.I choose because I can to leave the school holiday periods for the masses, or else select one of the many holiday rallys run by the CCC which says no booking neccasary then you know you will get on .

Its a problem caused by the popularity of camping and living on a tiny island.

Rip off, for £15 a night I'd expect EHU, free showers and a pitch where I can peg out my awning.

Of course its a rip off, but it made for the best start to our hoilday.  We set off from home at nine on friday night and pulled over at one in the morning.  Set off at seven-thirty the next morning well refreshed and arrived at Hillhead at about ten.  Despite being ripped off we would still do it again.

if you can arrive late at night could stop in late arrival area .on ccc site.

have found the same problem as your self if this is full then its wild camping for us
