Help shape future facilities at UK Club campsites

Regardless of the naysayers I suspect a site of the quality of White Water is exactly what the majority of Club members want? I base that on how quickly serviced pitches get booked up and on most sites how the hardstanding are always taken first. It would be interesting for those that claim such campsites are like car parks to provide some photos of examples of sites that have hardstanding that don't look like carparks. 

To me White Water is an excellent example of post industrial urban regeneration.  It is not the only site in the network where the Club have contributed to similar regenerations. Rocky, I don't think you need fear for wild life at White Water as there is a large Nature Reserve next door.

This one perhaps as an example of a site with HS that doesn’t look like a car park?

Best hedging we have ever enjoyed was in Cornwall on a CL. Six pitching areas, and a separate hedged “service” area. Now Cornish hedges are a bit special……farmer had banked up earth, carefully consolidated with stone, and then planted up with a wealth of wildflowers and what some might think of as weeds😂 Long grasses, primroses, dog roses, three cornered leeks, scabious, bluebells, ragged Robin, field poppies, thyme, rosemary, blackberries, etc……. Wonderful colour, scents, free foraging, a haven for wildlife, including frogs, toads, hedgehogs, field mice, lizards, bees, butterflies, moths, and all sorts of birds and insects. It was truly the sort of place if you did decide to have a day on site, nature came to you. The pitches were huge as well, and very private. It still remains to this day the best Site we have ever used, and for 15 years was our home from home, as we kept a van stored down there, so despite the long drive, we were up and down four or five times a year, in all seasons, often for a month at a time. Sadly no longer available due to very tragic circumstances, but it’s given us some of our best holiday memories.

Correct. Well spotted. I was impressed by the site and can’t imagine why we haven’t discovered it before now.

I agree DK, somewhat sadly. It is what many Members want. Absolutely no effort required to pitch up. It does have an exciting Watersports centre on its doorstep, and the Nature Reserve. But all that tarmac and gravel is very sterile, and those serviced pitches have the MH waste point and the loos as their view, which isn’t my kind of heaven. Some of the other pitches might be more attractive, I can see grass on your photo.

Winchcombe looks better👍

My kind of site.

We used to drive through Winch Combe on our way to SW. Looks a very nice Site, in a lovely location.

A useful drive through MHSP, too.
