We realised on Wednesday that we were able to get away this weekend due to a change in circumstances, so tried to book a CL somewhere within an hour's drive of home. Tried all my regular ones, all full so tried a few new to us ones, also full. Have managed to get one at last but not before I'd tried a good 15 or so. I realise it was very short notice and the school holidays but it did occur to me how popular CL's are now.

Long live the CL - but not if I can't get booked!

East Coast will be busy! Not sure where in East Yorks you are, but take a look at College Farm CL over Humber in Alkborough. Lovely place, no facilities other than basics, but very pretty, nice walks from Site and a great Farm Cafe alongside location. It's one of our local boltholes.

Moonstone - are you in the C&CC? If so, I can share one of our favourite CS's. near Malton. We joined the 'other club' just to use that site! I know how busy it is in this part of the world at the moment - John at High Breame (Flamborough), and another bolthole, is fully booked until well into the autumn.

It must be the area, Moonstone. We are now on our 4th CL of this trip and only 1 was full for a single day and even that one has a space this weekend.

Too quick with my pen, a M/H has just this minute come onto site, although I think that it's just off the road.

One of my regular CLs has bookings 5 years in advance...

Most of May, June, July next year fully booked

Happy to see CLs thriving perhaps we won’t lose so many each month

Perhaps you can't find a pitch because..

1) Less people are cancelling bookings this year on CL's (due to the good weather)

2) There are 70 less CL's across the country than there were in November 2016 - equating to 350 pitches.

Our CL is fully booked through mid August, but has availability most weekends in September

We're there this weekend, one of our local regular sites. Takes 1/2 hour from our house over the bridge. Love the cafe there too

Not currently in CCC only CMC, usually we don't have any problem, but what with the good weather, and the school holidays it just is busy - can only be good for the CL owners.
