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 !!!!!!

Moderator Edit:

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

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?

It says that it is a CL in it's bumph....see below!!

The site is a Certified Location open to Caravan Club members and is restricted to a maximum of ten vans at a time.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to report this post and then we may get a response from Ro or Maddie.

Yes that's why I pointed out that it could be operating 2 CLs as some places do. No idea about excessive vans on site as stated by the OP but there are sites which split themselves for private and CL etc.

Hi All,

Thank you for your comments regarding Drummond Fish Farm, this location is a Certificated Location and also has a separate commercial site. We have been working closely with the CL Owner to work on improving the demarcation between the two sites to prevent any confusion for Club Members and those fishing at the site. Due to the events of this year this has been delayed but we are hoping to have the improvements completed as soon as possible.

Thanks

Maddie

Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have forwarded to the CL Team to investigate.

It really is time at least to make it compulsory for CL's like this to make it clear in the CL entry that there is a commercial site adjacent. The club are wrong and very misleading by not enforcing a minimum set distance between the two sites. When I book a CL I expect to be one of a maximum of five vans as per the regulations and not to be looking at another five vans on an adjacent site.
