We booked a CL back in March for a ten day stay. Upon arriving today we were most annoyed to find SIX OTHER UNITS pitched, who clearly were not leaving. We were expected as well, since there was a stake with our name on it where we, THE SEVENTH were expected to set up ! Needless to say, we didn't.

Are there no checks ,especially in ' honey pot' areas like the South West , especially with the boom in 'staycationing'.

The owner was most put out on finding that we wouldn't be stopping, claiming that she could have let the spot many times over. Not without breaking the rules, she couldn't!

I know that’s why I reported it complete with a couple of photos.

A landowner can currently have as many as he/she likes for up to 56 days without planning consent due to covid. So it is quite possible some CL operators will just say "Stuff The Caravan Club" and get on with making some money.

Go ahead and dont be surprised when it disappears from the guide. Nose and face comes to mind.

Not quite right Nav. That’s for tent sites only, not caravans.
