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! surprised

Cl's will be busy at this time of the year when considerate caravanning couples leave the " Full Fat " campsites for families to enjoy.

Why K, after all only 391 out of 2266 CLs are adult only, so potentially 9375 pitches available for all sorts of folk

We have managed to book a cl in near Kings Lynn for Easter next year and just managed to get the last pitch!

We generally use CL/CS for 6 times a year and only use club sites for 2 other trips and find them busier each year.

Great to know CLs are thriving. I have to say that since we went completely off grid, I've only had one site that I had to wait for a cancellation on and it eventually came. i now book that site every year,not for that year but the following year! the rest of the time its a breeze

It's not just now, ie during the summer, that CLs have been busy, We've stayed on 26 different ones so far this year and at least half of them have been full for some of the time that we were there. Forward planning is now becoming a necessity for us so as we can get onto the ones we want.

Definitely - I always book the bank holidays well in advance (up to a year sometimes) and one particular site which is near to an event we visit - it's booked 5 years in advance.

Might be a little late now but try either Greenacres (choise of 3 sites) at Bibury or Pardon Hill near Cheltenham.

Only on this specific site which we use to visit an event - the dates are published that far in advance and the site fills up very quickly as do all the others in the area.     (Woodhall Spa 1940's event)
