Hi folks,

I am looking for a cl for a one night stopover on our way south from Bolton to Cornwall for our summer holidays. We are going to be heading off after work on a Friday pm and would like to get a few hours travel under our belts Friday before a long days drive on the Saturday. Any recommendations of a cl within easy access of the M6 or the northern reaches of the M5 would be much appreciated. The ones I have found up to now either have no electric, poor reviews or are quite a distance from a motorway junction.

Cheers

Andy

why do you need an electric supply for 1 night?

Maybe the OP wants to watch TV on a mains only set? Who knows.

Andy, if none of the suggestions so far meet your needs use the map search on UKCampsite.co.uk and it will give you a wider choice by showing just about every site up and down the M6 and M5.

The OP wants EHU and it’s his choice. None of us know his circumstances or why he wants EHU, so why query his choice rather than helping him with his enquiry?

Ok here goes,

The point about non electric is a fair point and we have done some non EHU caravanning both CL's and rallies so we are quite comfortable with a few nights with just the battery and solar panel. If we can't sort a EHU CL then we will try for a non EHU no problem but given the choice while on our holidays then EHU all the way for us.

I think some of the suggestions are a little too far south for our Friday departure as I am all too aware of the traffic congestion on Friday evenings heading south on the M6. We once booked a CL the other side of Wolverhampton heading south and it took us over 4 hours to get there from Bolton!

I am going to give Stable Park CL a call later to check if they have availability. We are also stopping at Cadeside CAMC site for a couple of days heading south and we have a nice CL near Gloucester booked for a few days on the return journey.

Thanks for all your replies,

Andy

Success :-) Stable Park CL booked.

Anybody got any comments on the entrance as Google maps doesn't show which entry road you use? We will be entering Within Lane from the B5066 so the site will be on our rhs.

Good site.

Go to 'View on map' on the CL's web page, put it on satellite and you will clearly see the new CL layout. It's the last entry after the statics/park homes and is the 4th entrance I think. The gate has a coded lock on it.
