 How many times have you gone to a c,l site to find there are more than five vans on???????

 One we went to one recently had six tourers on and a camper, also some in another area that looked as though they were in storage and another which looked as though it was a long stayer, (evident by long grass growing around it,) though there was no one in it while we were there. The owners were nowhere to be found and there was a note on the door  saying post money through box. I thought they were supposed to take yout cc number.

 We were booked in and when we arrived there was one other van but after coming back from a day out the following day the other vans had turned up and the place was over full.  There was also an area for tents and this had several in it too,, I don't have anything against tents by the way but I got this impression of a quiet little c.l. site with only five vans with who I would share the toilet and shower facilities with. This site has been featured in this months cc mag.

 I've not been on many c.l.sites, this is the second one that has seemed to got away with putting more vans on, the other site we went to got round it by putting up a small fence halfway up the field and calling it a ralley field. The owner openly said he could get away with it this way, all fine and dandy for him but when there is only one loo between about 30 vans and umpteen tents it's no joke when you are only expecting five vans. There was a notice saying that everyone in the ralley field had to use thier own facilitiesbut that just didn't happen.

   So BEWARE if you book a c.l. site and you think there will only be you and four others.

Thanks

sounds just like the camping and caravan club's certified sites

Toilets? I think that's a luxury on CLs and CSs isn't it?

We're in the C&CC and I think I'm right in saying their CSs are licensed for 5 vans/caravans and as many tents as will fit.

 Nora there are quite a few CLs with toilets and showers.

Hi

We are going to a caravan club CL site in 2 weeks to try it out, I hope it is not overrun with people, or if it is I hope it has enough toilet facilities to accomodate.  It is one near Penrith, Newbiggin that is supposed to hold 5 vans?

I will let you know
