I know a few members are like us and mix in a few none Club Sites into a tour. Thought I would open up a thread for folks to post website links to any nice sites they come across, that might interest others.

This one to start with http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk/camping-caravan-sites-cirencester-glos.html

Just off A433 few miles from Cirencester, so ideal for Cotswolds area. Plenty to see and do in area, Pub is nice for food.

May I add the following superb site weve used for several visits to the Lakes

http://www.threlkeldhalltouringsite.co.uk/

It is easily reached off the A66 and is nestled just below Blencathra for a good days walking. 

The village is 10 mins walk away with 3 great pubs serving meals (the burgers at the 'Sally' are really great.

Unfortunately the railway path that rund from near the site through to Keswick was very badly damaged by the floods of 2015, however work is underway to reopen it soon

We've often thought about stopping there when visiting the Northern Lakes so it's good to get a positive view. Thanks Trini.

The track was still closed last week, Trini, when we were up there. There was also road closures though Threlkeld so the bus only stops at the east end of the village, and doesn't drive through. There didn't appear to be any notices on the other bus stops in the village warning potential passengers of that.

I can highly recommend Low Hedgeley Farm site in the heart of Northumberland. It was a Club CL in the past and has increased the number of pitches since going it alone. The site is immaculate and pristine. In a stunning location  with brilliant hosts. 10 out of 10 easily.

Another one from me, Tretham Mill on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. Superbly landscaped, small quiet family site, excellent value at £26.50/night peak season for large hardstanding pitch with 2 adults and dog. Excellent dog walking area too. However is access not for those of a nervous disposition!

Following a recommendation from TTDA (?) I visited this site a few weeks ago, another one in the Pickering area. Very good value, IMO.

Just caught up with this Freddy. Glad you enjoyed it, we usually like to do a Winter visit, as there’s not as many sites open. The heated facilities are nice, and it’s usually very quiet. We think it’s good value as well, especially in Winter. It was the first site we used when we got our MH.

I am filing all these lovely options away, good to have a choice for different areas.😁

MM, compared with what? Compared with the last time we were on a club pitch at £30/night for grass non awning it seems good value. Especially for 200sq.m awning pitch with hardstanding area for the ‘van, hedgerows between pitches, electric and TV point, well stocked shop, huge dog walking area and a David Bellamy conservation award. Oh and they pitch the van for you too which after a 400 mile 9 hour drive was most welcome!

 Could this thread be made a sticky please?

+1

But are they likely to?

thanks for all the contributions. Some nice looking sites. As was said earlier, it's good to mix it up and experience different types of sites. CAMC sites are not the be all and end all.
