I was thinking we might like to go to Oban, or nearby (we've been before), as there's a good off-road cycle track, which you can extend by catching the Corran Ferry and a quiet road on the other side. There are two Club sites in the area, one at Onich and another at Barcaldine which are suitable. I compared prices for 2 adults, 5 nights from 16th April, hardstanding with ehu: C&MHC Bunree £191; C&CC (with age concession) £107.

I wonder which one I should choose?

Steve, how do you know Chatsworth pitches are nearly 60% full in November? All I could see was the odd day had “low” on it. 🤔 I could have been looking in wrong place, not sure.

There’s a strange one day anomaly on the pricing in August as well, unless Club have put a special BH price on pitches for that weekend, again, seems to be around £5 higher than other dates. Could by DP I suppose🤷‍♀️

It is in a lovely situation, but now charging £32 per night in June!

Why doesn't the club insist that CLs have the relevant price information on their webpage? This site is still showing their price from 2016. I know you are advised of the current price when making a booking but leaving old out of date prices seems the norm for CLs.

It has 16 days showing full on standard pitches and 10 lows? On SP it's full on 17 days and only one day when it's not low. Super SP is about the ae. Were you looking at non awning pitches?

on the November Calendar for Chatsworth only approx 40% of the dates have prices, the others are blank. If you select a stay for the blank dates it says they are full. I would agree it’s not clear it should say full on them.

"It does of course depend where you want to be, especially with a MH. Blackmore is certainly a substitute for Malvern Hills and we actually prefer it. However, for us preferring to leave the MH on site, it certainly can’t substitute for Broadway."

I don't disagree with you Steve - but since we are only looking for a 'stopover' to break the journey between Devon and East Yorkshire, I'm reluctant to pay £44 per night for the privilege - especially since we don't use the 'facilities'.

Thanks Steve. I wasn’t sure if the blanks meant full. Serves a dense population does Chatsworth, lots of events going on in and around.

R&R, there’s a very nice CL, half a mile from Morton in Marsh Pebbly Barn Farm. Depends what route you use of course👍

Good point, we used Winchcombe C&CC site recently for a one night stop over. £8 a night cheaper than Tewkesbury which it is level with on the other side of the M5.

Just some info when dates on the web say "low". I think it's been mentioned on here before somewhere that the perception of "low" means 5 pitches left? I maybe wrong? Anyway "low" is site specific and doesn't necessarily mean 5 pitches, some sites go low on more, some less. Just thought I'd throw that in

In other words "low" is pretty meaningless.
