Just tried to book a one night stay on a club site for a stop over on the way back from the Lakes, not permitted.

Do they not allow one night stays out of peak season?  We're talking about a mid September stay.

Do they not allow 1 night stays on club sites then?

So far, not impressed with the club.  For £49.00 to join!  CC sites have no min stay.

Thanks for the replies.

I need to book in advance to know I have somewhere though.   You sure get a lot for your £49.00 *huff*

Try ringing the site direct, quite often with both clubs you get a different response to what the website says, when we use the CC it pretty much always shows as full for weekends but if we ring the site directly we always get in.

Where did you end up booking in the Lakes in the end? We're going up there on the 2nd sept for a week, staying at Troutbeck head CC site.

We've tried this before with the C&CC club sites.  The website will not allow 1 night bookings at weekends, however if you ring the site the site manager has the authority to override that.

I think it just depends on how busy the site is expecting to be.

Will give them a ring, thanks!

We're splitting our 12 days between Keswick C & CC site plus another stay at Park Coppice CC site and plan to tour the area hopefully by bus/boat and where the MH will take us (road width dependant!!) 

What a shame, you come back when we go otherwise we could have had a German Shepherd meeting!

Have a look at www.lakelandcam.co.uk the guy who runs it lives in Coniston & takes his dog for a walk to a different place every day & posts photos.

Had a little clear up there and now this thread is back on track

You can often book one night but sometimes the minimum is two. EG if you want EHU and/or hardstanding you can book one night except for Fridays and Saturdays when you need to book two nights or for any stay in high season. If we want to book for one night on a Fri or Sat we book a Standard pitch and then pay for the EHU when we get there if there is one available. Full explanation is on page 48 of the Big Sites Book.

Thankyou for taking the time to write that out Evenstephen.

So, looks as though I can prebook the one night on grass without EHU.  I only need it for a stop off anyway so can make do.

Yeah, usually we go for CC sites but not one near the location we need.
