I’ve been checking availability of pitches at Chatsworth for the Christmas market several times a day for about 3 or 4 weeks in the hope of getting a cancellation.  I have just found out (via CAMC Facebook page) that they have a waiting list. I didn’t realise sites were allowed to do this, and cancellations went back onto booking system for someone to pick up.  Had I known about the waiting list,  I would have telephoned them in the first place.  Is this common knowledge?

Yes, that’s the one.

"This group is run by members for members and has been created as a one stop shop to discuss and pass on the knowledge of caravanning within the UK's largest caravanning club."

So it’s not an official CAMC page.🤷🏻‍♂️

Whoops. Cross posted with JWJ.

The problem is that this Facebook group, as Jill says, is nothing to do with the Club. Unfortunately in their "about us" they don't make this crystal clear which I think they should. I have no problem with a Facebook Group for Club members having such a group as I imagine it provides a lot of information to group members but I do think the need to be transparent about their lack of connection to the CMC. I have raised this issue with Rowena but I am not sure what the Club can do?

I’ve just cancelled 2 nights at Chatsworth 10-12 December if that’s any use to you.    Good luck, gutted we can’t go.   Maybe next year?

Thank you Cherokee, but we are particularly looking for a few days in Nov while the Christmas Market is on.

Agreed, we also decided to extend for an extra day so I now have three bookings for four days...

We just extend our late booking by just amending the booking as the dates came free and in the end managed to get a 10 night stay

At times it is quicker do do an amendment on your bookings than a fresh bookingcool
