Unable to book anything for 2022. Calendar shows closed/full for the whole of 2022. I have sent an email via "contact us", but wonder if anyone knows if this site is closing down, or is it just the wonderful booking system that doesn't know that 2022 exists?

That is probably why they are more clear minded what needs to happen to improve the site rather that those with a misty eyed view of things. Seemingly the complaints are, poor quality toilet blocks, inadequate motorhome waste point, insufficient waste water disposal at the lower level, small pitches. When the Club buys a site it is always going to refurbish it in a time honoured manner and we should all expect that. Perhaps those that don't like that should ponder of the possibility that had someone else purchased the site there would have been a pretty high risk that the touring element would disappear altogether? Hopefully they will reinstate the restaurant?

I understand that another problem is that some of the buildings that were to be used as part of the upgrade have been condemned 
As you say the "misty eyed view "of some it seems is not what the site was really like, and just goes to show what poor facilities some would accept

"I understand that another problem is that some of the buildings that were to be used as part of the upgrade have been condemned"
somebody from the club did not do due diligence very well then

Oh, I forgot. CAMC was just a change of name, not a change of policy.

The new late availability page does not now show how many pitches are available ,it could be only one as two bookings we have made now show full for some of the days out of the time we booked
As for "improvement orders?" it doesn't mean that the facility cannot carry on ,trading,

I think sometimes people feed you duff info, could it possibly be that in reality when the club and the builders responsible for the upgrade when looking at the prospects of re-vamping some very old buildings, which if i remember some were stone built, decided it would be more practical to condem the lot and restart from scratch, seems more plausible to me 
afterall the previous owners would have had a licence from the LC to operate and probably underwent frequent inspections especially as they had quite recently added additional pitches. I would take with a pinch of salt some of the things your warden friends tell you over a wee dram in the evenings maybe 
,
incidentally did the club purchase the houses that are adjacent to the site, I think the owners also had some sort of small holding adjacent to the site ?

highly unlikely, the restaurant was on top of the main block which housed reception, toilets, showers etc, all of which JVB would imply were condemned
