I've just read in the New CLs list in the club magazine, as they laughingly call the junk mail self advertising masquerading as a magazine, that there is a new CL at a garden centre in Northwich, Cheshire. The price is an eye watering £20 a night. Approaching club site price for a CL. Hope no one gives, pricing like this will destroy the whole ethos of the wonderful CL network.

This months new additions to the network. 10 new. Most between £12 & £15 with ehu. 2 at a staggering £20 but with all facilities and 1 with ehu and shower £6

Can the last one be true. Bet people will be queuing up by now.

Are they listed yet in the New CL section? What's the name of the one that's £6?

Nellie, it can be found in the CL search under Shropshire, Ellesmere.   i've still not mastered the art of doing a link on this tablet, but this is it: http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/uk-holidays/search-and-book/certificated-locations/site-detail/?Id=604282&town=Ellesmere&county=28209&facilities=

It does indeed say £6 on the website, NOT from £6.

The new CL in Ellesmere, Manoravon is 3 miles from us, so I've just popped-over to introduce myself and invite the owner, Andrew Dixon, to join the CL Owners FaceBook Group.

Unfortunately, the CC made errors in both the magazine and on the website. Manoravon has no EHU and no showers.  This is definitely a CL for those who wish to use batteries or solar panels - Merve please take note.

Ellesmere is a great place for a holiday, and I'm pleased that between us our two CLs can bring visitors to this part of Shropshire, whether they want EHU or not.

For those who prefer EHU, we still have pitches available at Birch Hill @ £12 per night all-in, including EHU & Wi-Fi.

Perhaps an effect of the mild weather here, but if I can get a booking for 2 more nights this month, it will make this the best October for bookings since our CL opened.

Do we think £6 to park a caravan overnight on a grass area with no electricity, no showers, no wash basins, no toilets, no dishwashing sinks, no motorhome waste water dump, no hard standings, and perhaps no wi-fi ....is really cheap,  or actually dear?

If you are referring to Manoravon, it does have hardstandings.

Location plays a big part - Ellesmere is a lovely part of Shropshire, with lots to see and do within a 45 minute drive-time radius, including Shrewsbury, Chester, Llangollen and 4 excellent National Trust properties, as well as wildlife around the Meres and rural canals.

Take it as a generalisation Ian. I couldn't possibly comment on a CL I haven't seen. But I think £6 to park in a field somewhere (not Ellesmere) with just a water tap is actually dear.

tt cost me £3 to park my car for 40 minutes last week. On that basis I don't think £6 for 24 hours is expensive

....Jay, that was going to be my comparison, too....

parking in the uk, even in a field (with or without ehu or shower) is dear...

at the other end of the spectrum, camping where ET usually goes, is considerably cheaper.....

so, CL in the UK at £6, pretty good even with no facs...

 How you can say its dear is difficult to comment on when you compare it with other costs for the likes of car parking, Looking at some of the prices for new cl's lately this site has got to be the cheapest for a long time.. There isn't many cheaper in the book
