What is going on? A planning application has been submitted for the demolition of the Club's site and for the erection of lodges to take its place!.

Check it out >here< on the West Oxfordshire Council site. Anyone got anymore information, does that mean the end of a site for Blenheim Palace and Woodstock or is the reason for the popup site?

That’s what we would like. Somewhere safe to overnight, top up water, lose waste water, and if possible empty loo, but at a reasonable price. We would pay up to £6 for such, up to £10 with a hook up. Nothing fancy, just a weatherproof pitch, reasonably spaced, a tap and a waste somewhere. Great for a transit stop, couple of nights and then gone. For longer stays, CLs are perfect.

Tebay services on the M6 motorway Northbound side (you can access going south) offer overnight stops with facilities etc, but they are not cheap undecided

I'm not sure that the majority of MH'ers do want a just "dump & fill". Occasionally, possibly but generally it's a "no frills" for a night or two at a sensible price.

Indeed they have. The CAMC have set their face steadfastly against this though. Despite only wanting a "coffee and doughnut" they insist that you have a full sit-down "a la carte four course meal" even if you are not hungry. I suppose it stems from the fact that they consider themselves as four star Michelin establishments rather than a "Happy Eater"

The thing to remember is that no one is forced to visit the 4* establishment if it doesn’t suit the cut of their cloth.👍🏻

Yes, AD we found a few night halts with our van between home and Cornwall, it’s not just MHs that need such. We have in the past (a long time ago) pulled up on Service Stations, certainly Taunton Deane a few times, but that was back in the 1980’s, when the traffic was much lighter and you didn’t get as many HGVs as nowadays. Didn’t have to pay either, but they soon cottoned onto that market. Because we don’t do all motorway routes, we do have some tucked away quiet little rest spots. Painswick Beacon was rather nice, but again a long time ago.
