Campsites near canals

Just checked it out on UK campsites and it is Wern Isaf.

Ooh, I'd completely forgotten that one. We stayed overnight a couple of years back and said we'd return for a longer stay. 

Also the Tutor Patch site near Slimbridge which was mentioned earlier.

What a great thread - so many ideas for future trips! 

Once again thanks to all you guys and gals for your suggestions. I noticed that many of the camps were C+CC campsites and I wonder if it might be an idea to join. Especially as they offer 65% off camp fees if you’re over 60. ( I would stay in the C+MC of course ) . Anyone know much about them, are they worth joining do you think?

Deleted User, Thanks for your response which is very helpful. Obviously it is difficult discussing another club on a club site we are members of but I don’t think it can do much harm. I have no intention of leaving this club but at the same time may use another if I need to.

I think you may be disappointed; the discount for over 60s is 30% if I remember correctly.  Still a worthwhile saving though.

There are possible drawbacks to the C&CC which have already been mentioned (depending on how you look at it); a number of sites have a minimum booking period over weekends of either 2 or 3 nights, some sites even have 5 in high season, but there are only a few of them.  And they charge a deposit for each site booked, which is non-refundable if cancelling within 30 days.

The best thing to do is to have a look at their website and sites, and possibly join for a year to try them out.  We're in both too, as it gives us more choice, as well as both having the 5-van sites as well.

InaD,

I have copied this from the C+CC website —

 

Members benefit up to 30% off Club Site fees as well as exclusive offers throughout the year, and over 60’s get an additional 25% off.

Have I misread the above by adding it up to 55% ( I know I originally made it 65% silly me ) ? Perhaps there’s two ways of reading it.

Definitely more than 2 ways of reading it, JR. The 25% additional discount will be off the 70% of the original price which equates to a extra discount of 17.5% so the total discount would actually equate to 47.5% and you'd be very lucky to get that.

Still I think that it could well be a good idea to join provided you intend to use C&CC's sites on a regular basis. We were OAP members for a while but stopped when we found that we weren't using their sites often enough for it to economical being a member.
