And another one that's great value at £12 pn....Greenpark CL, Banchory, large all H/S pitches, toilet and free shower, good dog walk along old railway line just outside the drive. Pods & cabins for rent too.

Don't be spreading the word ;) .  This is one of our favourites.

How selfish can you be. No wonder Cls close

We love CLs, but I have a different quest this summer, I'm looking for ones with/near things to do for small kids as we have the grandkids for the summer and much as they love being in the van I do need things to keep them occupied. Also don't want too much travelling time but CLs in this neck of the woods nearly all charge around £20 a night  so having to look a bit further afield. Anyone have any suggestions?

Fisherman, if you note my previous comment there was a smiley/winky face after my comment not to spread the word (that means it is said in jest).

Firedragon, If you can go non EHU we stayed at a lovely CL just outside Canterbury last summer.  We spend time meeting friends who were staying at Whitstable which was about a 20minute drive away and Canterbury was a lovely place.  On the CL itself there were two large areas of grass so plenty of room for the children to play if they are able to make their own entertainment.  We had children visit and there was enough space to fly a kite and put up a paddling pool.  It was called Howletts Farm.

On our latest trip away we've visited 14 sites, for a total of 64 nights, and all bar 9 nights were spent on CLs. Every site was peaceful with very little if no traffic noise. All had EHU, most had H/S and a few also had a toilet/shower. The total cost of site fees was £765 which works out at an average of about £12 pn. So yes there are still gems out there!!

We are currently staying on the CL mentioned in the OP and is just what we like a CL to be - spacious, not pretentious and excellent value at £14.50 ( includes our awning). 

We've stayed on a CL recently that was more like a mini Club site, it was very very nice but not what we look for in a CL.  It has rave reviews so lots of folks are obviously taken with that style of CL. It was also our most expensive CL ever at £18 per night, not our cup of tea at all.
