Posted on 11/06/2021 18:13 by peedeeIts a great little site I would certainly not like to see it closed. Is it the Club or the owner who want to close it? Sounds like another Bromsgrove or Nunnykirk just when COVID seems to have boosted low facility occupancy. If staffing is the problem the Club should at least look at introducing some form of automation.

Hi
We worked Godrevy Park for 4 years and Marazion was our go to site for some r&r. Upset if it's to close as a club site, we've given Cornwall a miss this year to explore further up country on our rest days as we're in north Devon but hoped to resume there next year. If it is closing it definitely won't be anything to do with staffing or the cost there of. Don't believe posters on here who "know it all"

I think if recent experience is anything to go by we must expect more leasehold sites to disappear. When the original leases were signed years ago I expect the owners had little interest in what the land could be used for beyond being grateful for the lease income. Now of course they see high value investment and return on providing static accommodation so they are considering whether it is worth continuing with leases that don't give much of a return. Alternatively having a low value lease on land they may well wish to sell could be another reason?
I appreciate that Carnon Downs camping is not a like for like replacement but it is in the South West and I am sure the Club are looking at their overall portfolio of sites and buying where it is possible so they are less dependent on leases?

Posted on 11/06/2021 20:06 by JVB66Where JK is this year was looked at a few years ago to be a satellite because of low use , of the bigger site just up the road ,but the idea was kicked out in the end,as not as easy as First thought
