Lady Margaret's Park Chirk

Ooh......pricey!     But looks  nice.

Pitches are only 6m wide though, where does the car go if you use an awning?

£30 for a fully serviced, level pitch with free fast wifi and free access to a swimming pool is a reasonable UK price...with out the swimming pool, is on a par with CaMC service pitches. As for the 6m width, its about number of pitches in a finite area.   Could be like Bath Chew Valley... car to be left in car park unless loading/offloading (only minutes allowed and DO NOT under any circumstances put car on pitch)..

Looks  like Foxhall is jammed inbetween the B5070 and the busy A5. Could be a noisy site.

We like the car on the pitch, so would not use the Bath site, I had read about their rules.

On the Welsh site, the hardstandings do not seem, from the photographs, to have a lot of grass between them, so rather close  together.  That is why I was wondering where the  car is supposed to go.  Perhaps the pictures are deceptive.

£30 per night, even fully serviced, at this time of year seems expensive to me, OK in peak summer season, but maybe they  charge more then.  Cannot see a price list.

Swimming pool is not something we would use, and if the site suffers road noise, as peedee suggests it could, then it would be a non starter for us.

We  visit friends in North Wales every year and use a peaceful farm CL, water tap on the pitch, there is also a toilet and shower if required, £17.

We thought that some awnings just wouldn't fit with a car alongside but as the pitches are 10.5 or 13 metres in depth, I guess you'd have to park across the front which I don't like doing.  

I did consider Bath Chew Valley a couple of times based purely on location on our proposed travel route. I had looked before and noted minimum 5 nights which is fine. However for the time of year we were travelling it was 7 nights minimum. When we visited Riverside Touring Park, Betws Y Coed it was  3nights for two and the site seemed surprised that I did not want the 6th night included in the price. With regards to Chew Valley I did consider booking and leaving after 5 nights .... until I read about car parking off pitch. Went elsewhere

I don't think "could" is right. Certain to be a noisy site might be better. The only thing that might make it less noisy at the moment is less lorry traffic than usual.

Of course it won't affect some people who just don't seem to notice it.

Not my cup of tea but not far from Chirk and apparently good for families.

Still following the planning application and it looks as though the camping pitches are no longer in the plan.

We were hoping that non-caravanning family would be able to camp or glamp with us on the site.

I haven’t found any indication of glamping pods, perhaps they don’t need planning permission?  Second cul de sac looks likely for them, as they are removing the service point.

If that is right, the result might be about seventeen less touring pitches, and lots of serviced pitches in them.

However, although we wouldn’t want a serviced pitch because of the price, one would suppose this is the future of caravanning.

Two electric charging points planned.

I think the Club seem to have satisfied all the requirements now, so presume it will be approved soon.

For members interested in the progress of the planning application, the next planning meeting is 4 Dec, but I think there is still a wildlife survey to be done.  The application mentions reducing the pitches from 101 to 98.  IF the second cul de sac is for glamping pods, there will be 88 touring pitches instead of 101.
