CL Site Bookings

You are very welcome. Yes, it’s very wet all over at the moment, including here in South Yorks.

We did a great tour of Dumfries and Galloway in early June a couple of years ago. We hopped about all over the area, using a mix of Aire type stopovers, a very nice CL, and Forest Scotland Car parks, where you can stay overnight for the price of a car parking fee. The CL we used was £25 per night, but was chosen as somewhere to base for four days, so our dog would be safe, while we went cycling. We managed to average around £12.50 per night, and didn’t pre book anywhere before we set off. You do have to get to some of the stopovers early enough to bag a pitching space, but then there’s no “arrive by x o clock”, “depart by x o clock” policy at most of them, so it’s very relaxing. But you do get the odd outfit that tries things on, “forgets” to leave anything in the honesty boxes. Key is always have a Plan B, just in case. Our just in case was a high tide that swamped pitching spots (we were aware) so we simply moved on and pitched on Plan B. Scotland was brilliant touring like this, but we haven’t done Wales or Border areas around there. If one night stop overs are your thing, consider some of the pub stops, we have enjoyed each one we have done, with no problems at all. Research and good planning is the key👍😁

I’d add we don’t really have an issue with CLs and CS sites having a policy of no single night stays if they are busy sites, but don’t be put off by any that say this. A phone call or email might yield a good result if you ask. Most will have some single or double nights to fill at some point, and will be only too happy to have the income. We won’t use any that surcharge for a single night though.
