i thought that cl sites were only supposed to allow 5 or 6 caravans on there site ??

just visited loch earn for a wee fishing trip today and they have a cl site run by drummond estates

it had 15 caravans on it ?? and have room for at least another 12  when i asked them about the numbers they said it has just been inspected by the club and the inspector gave them the thumbs up ?

what the hell is going on in the club !!!!!!

This needs reporting directly to the club.  In theory, you only have their word that a sites inspector said it's okay.

Post like this make me boil, we own a CL in Cornwall and we are constantly being told about other sites exceeding the 5 van limit and they all seem to get away with it! 

We always adhere to the limit so please support us if you are in Cornwall and like our Facebook page!

It's not clear whether you are staying or just visiting for the fishing.

There is only one solution to this and that is to notify the club. If you have evidence it would help.

 Thanks for the thumbs up. I have that site pencilled in for a possible stay next Spring

don't know how its just been inspected and the inspector never seen all the ehu points plus all the pitches for caravans or motorhomes

maybe should ask an ordinary member to accompany them on there inspections

Why did you stay? You should have turned round and gone away as soon as you saw they were over the limit.

Unfortunately this is not the first time I've seen this question raised about this CL. 

We have passed it a few times and there were more than 5 vans on it then. As we were not staying there we couldn't be certain they were all occupied.

It's a shame that some do break the rules while others adhere to them.

I suspect we all thought that  "just visited loch earn for a wee fishing trip today and they have a cl site run by drummond estates..."  meant that you visited with your caravan in order to go fishing. 🎣

Here's a LINK to the Drummond Estate Caravan park where it says 10 vans can be accomodated. Are they running two CL sites as some places do?
