I will see if I can find find one but you can use Search for Sites using CAMpRA as a filter. It will show those currently approved.

No I do not think there is a map format for the whole 125 but I believe they are all shown on Search for Sites.

Thanks for that DD, at first I thought the costs were rising according to the season, but it's still a very expensive stop over, especially for families. Better to visit for the day and stay at a nearby CL.

An update from the NT re next years CL prices at Stour Head.

"Unfortunately the CAMC website lists a price but there are differences in the way we operate our charges in the National Trust and the way the club operates and this doesn’t reflect price changes in future years. 

We have made some changes to our pricing for 2022 which brings our pricing into line with other comparable sites run by both the Trust and other bodies. The prices you see when checking availability are correct. Our per night pricing for 2022 is as follows:

Initial pitch including one adult: £30
Extra adults: £8 each
Extra child: £4 each
Dog (up to two allowed): £1.50 each 

The figure of £38 per night would be correct if it is for two adults staying one night with a van.

 Access to the garden is considered a ‘perk’ available to anyone staying on the site rather than an additional costed element of the booking. The site and rates are effectively made available exclusively to CAMC members – it’s not open to people who are only NT members so it is not possible for us to offer a reduced rate for those who are members of both organisations".

They can say what they want about access being a perk, however the £8 additional cost per adult, £4 child on a CL with no facilities block, is clearly largely designed to cover access to the garden. It might not be possible to offer a discount just to one group, CAMC members who also happen to be NT members. However, I wouldn’t have though there would be an issue with NT members getting a voucher to spend in the shop, cafe or farm shop.

Anyway from our point of view, whilst I am prepared to pay over the odds for location and might just consider £30. Adding on an additional £8 for the OH, is just rubbing salt in the wound.
