Hi All

Thinking of joining Camp and caravan club and was very interested in the temporary holiday sites idea.  Seems very cheap especially in the summer, however our new to us caravan is a Adria and doesn't have a leisure battery would this be a problem? because they are temp sites do they have any facilities or are you a stand alone unit?

Thanks

We have just booked into a CCC site at Bristol.  They have electric hookups.  However, it would seem most do not.  We did not have a battery with our old caravan so stuck to main sites.  Our new one does, so we are planning trying a few of these "farmers field type sites" out!

We have just started using caravan club sites this year, and I would say it is worth joining as they are chaeper than most commercial sites.  You will make your money back eventually anyway.  :-)

Mmm amI right in thinking that a lot of contenental caravans don't have a battery?

We are in Durham, dont mind traveling a little way but being 'new' we don't want to go to far so soon, if that makes sense.

Thanks to all who replied.

THS usually mean you have to rely on your own facilities and power, although there are some exceptions when toilets and EHU are availabale.
Prices are kept so low becasue the sites don't usually provide facilites.
I added a leisure battery and 2 12v LED strip lights to my caravan quite easily. I have a suitcase solar panel which is more than enough to keep the battery topped up.

There are a few THS which may be suitable for you to try (you may need to contact each District Association to check exactly what facilities are available at each site)

* Durham DA - Crimdone House Farm TS27 3AA  - 23 July - 21 August
* Teesside DA - Beadnell NE67 5BT  - 22 July - 14 August (own san ess.)
* Central Yorkshire DA - Cracken House Farm DL8 5HF  - 7 July - 26 July
* Central Yorkshire DA - Lockside, Ripon HG4 1TZ  - 4 August - 1 September

You have to be a member of the C&CC to use the THS and you will join a District Association (DA) but you are welcome to rally with any of them.
I am member of Teesside DA but have rallied with other groups too. I am hoing to make the Lockside meet this summer - might see you there?!

I don't know why the C&CC can't have more THS / rally's on proper site's with facilities .
The centre that we belong to sent a questionaire out to all our members asking why attendances were falling and the resounding answer was that folks won't attend meets because they don't want "Bucket and Chucket" site's that have no electric or toilets/showers
