It would be great to have feedback on the caravan sites and how the safety measures are working. We will be watching for the next two weeks to see how safe the sites are before we decide to start touring again.  Maybe a lot of people will put reviews on individual caravan sites.

Moderator Edit:

This thread is specifically and solely for members currently visiting sites to offer useful feedback.

Please keep your posts on the topic of "caravan sites opening and safety measures on sites" only.

Thank you.

Many of the bigger sites down here are having staggered openings and reduced numbers. The request not to use the facilities if possible is the same as CAMC as far as I can see. Some sites aren't taking tent campers this season. It's a varied picture but the facility blocks are likely to be the places where Covid could be spread so best avoided.

Ref: C&CC sites opening with / without facility blocks

If you scroll past the chunk which was quoted up-thread you will come to a section headed "Open and closed Club Sites in 2020".

Below that are 3 sections with a plus sign to expand them:

- Open with facility blocks

- Open without facility blocks

- Closed for 2020

You'll find that a quite a number of English sites (and Scottish, but fewer) are in that second list; it's not only Welsh C&CC sites which will be opening without toilet blocks available.

(Just a sample, I won't copy the whole list:

• Chichester, Sussex

• Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire

• Clitheroe, Lancashire

• Conkers, Derbyshire

• Corfe Castle, Dorset)

Sounds as if the ccc have similar problems with staff shortages as this club

Haven't used the forum for such a very long time but wanted to add to this thread today. Having spent ages reading the thread to find out what was actually happening, to no real avail apart from 1 proper account of Burrs Country Park, so I telephoned where I am soon visiting, Henley on Thames. The very helpful lady warden explained that they were using the rubber band system, as described on this thread, & were having no problems with them going missing. The ladies block allows 3 to use and the men's 2 at any one time. She said they had not had any queuing and no other problems with very frequent cleaning. So that all sounded very promising.smile Its been interesting seeing some of the familiar names posting from when I was a regular user wink Keep safe & enjoy.

Currently on the Sandringham caravan site. On arrival given fob for barrier and 2 wristbands for use of facilities. Pitch was already allocated. To use facilities you hang wristband on peg outside. There is a maximum of two people allowed in the facilities at any time. If pegs have two wristbands hanging you need to wait in a socially distanced queue until a peg is available.

Have noticed that some people have forgotten to pick up their wristband after using facilities and suspect that some have forgotten to take them when intending to use facilities-not sure if they have returned to their units to pick up wristband.

Handsanitisers available outside facilities and reception but none near water points or cdp. 
Wardens have done a great job of making us feel as safe as possible.

As requested in original post, our comments are regarding organisation and cleansing.  We arrived at Sutton-on-Sea on Saturday and it’s very well organised. They’re using the wristbands with pitch number for social distancing in facilities blocks, 4 hooks to hang bands on, if there’s no spare hook you need to wait until someone exits, we haven’t used them much but have not seen any queue.  A warden comes around several times each day and sanititizes fresh water taps etc and dustbin lids.  People are being sociable as usual but at an appropriate distance.  We were a little nervous about this first outing but are confident all possible steps are being taken by staff and members.  I hope this helps to allay fears that some people may have.
