Yurts? Pods? What on earth?

That's a bit over the top, YB. We're talking about a few posh tents and sheds, not the end of civilisation as we know it. Live and let live, I say. Evolve rather than die.

You'll find comments for and against in the other thread.  

Had the same email,  can't see what the problem with them is.

I was tempted to book one, thought the Glamping Pods looked great, only problem is "no pets" .

Club has done cottages for years. And tents. Hope you get over the shock YB. Be prepared to see yurts, pods, huts and cottages alongside CL pitches as well, some CLs have done this for years!

Only on sites that had cottages when aquirred  by the club,and tents have only recently been welcome on more sites,in the past it was only if the lease specified tents and non members

Semantics JVB. As I said, cottages and tent pitches have been available for years. I have camped on at least five Club Sites, going back at least 15 years. 

"This bonhomie of fellow travellers is an absolute part of why we belong"

I suggest you extend it a bit further Yellowbelly 

I despair!!

What next? 

Wherever will it all end?

The Caravan Club should never have allowed anything other than Horse-drawn Caravans and I said so at the time!! 

Warming to the idea  now if our grown up kids and partners invade our holiday reliving their childhoods they can now stay in one of those and the annexe can stay in the bag

Bring in a bouncy castle as well on Club sites, communal shared barbecue pits, table tennis tables, a volleyball pitch, bike hire and ice creams .....and we might do the sort of three generation family holidays we regularly share on proper campsites. But this Club has a long way to go beyond a few yurts before it will attract the younger parts of my big family. Till then they will leave Club sites to the old folk.

In my recollection the club has had a few sites with accomadation' including tents, for what some would call 'donkey's years'. Our family have even stayed in one which had cottage accomadation whilst we stayed in our van. This really isn't a new thing and so enjoyable it was to have our non caravaning family on site with us.
