Last minute decision. Found suitable CL. e mailed owner, quick response and booked on line. Price as stated on web site £13-50 per night. Hard grass pitch, EHU and WC, Facilities readily to hand. Bus stop, Pub and shop within 270 yds. Located close to beach holiday hot spot. All for £13-50 per night.  Nearest CC  ( Shawsmead) Same time  £25-50.  Where is it? No 2125.Everything a Cl should be. If they can do it why are some others out pricing themselves? This site wont let  me add a picture (over 500kb?)

Thanks Phil, I saw your review. I have contacted the CL manager and he confirmed that there are toilets and showers. He said they were about 200m from the CL site itself.

Looks good Chris. Are you going to let us into the secret of which CL it is?

I've just booked our first trip of the year to Lough House Sweethope. Didn't have much detail on the CC entry but found their website and it looks wonderful. Middle of nowhere, right by the water. There are toilets and showers at the fishery and each hardstanding has its own ehh and water. £13 per night. Hoping it will be as good as it looks, we lost one of our dogs last week so will be nice to get away somewhere new.

I see that there's no reference to the web site on the CC's web page, but did manage to find it :- http://www.sweethope.co.uk/index.php.

It does certainly look a good choise. Athel. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, we know just how you must feel.

I am not sure the website links to CLs are all live to be honest Nellie. Certainly the one to Ashfield wasn't when I tried it. There are certainly quicker routes to finding a CL than the Club's own website at the moment!

Hi
Just had the following review left today!

“A HIDDEN GEM”
“We stayed over the bank holiday to try camping off grid. The site, despite its slope, was carefully planned to accommodate both caravans and motor homes. The grass is short, battery charging via the solar panel is available, and the site is well kept. The off grid experience was a good experience.”

If any of you are ever in Oxfordshire come and stay with us at Newton Grove

Regards,
John

Your avatar is excellent J57! We hope to use your CL at some point, but a tad far for a short tour at the moment. Hope things are going well though.

Hi.We view ourselves as a gem. We are a cl in North Devon with Woolacombe and Ilfracombe only 5 minutes away. We are in process of updating our cl listing on website as it doesn't contain the information or photograph we thought it did. We have a Facebook page Resthaven Farm. Please take a lookcool
