The magazine team would like to hear from members who like to get away from it all, stay on secluded sites (both low-facility Club sites and Certificated Locations) and use the facilities in their caravan or motorhome rather than the site facilities (it would be particularly interesting to hear from those members who use solar panel – we’d love to hear about your experiences of this power source).

If you would like to possibly be part of this article in the Club magazine please post your experiences below and if you have any pictures to upload or email to communitymanager@camc.com that would be fantastic!

We like secluded sites, and low facility ones are no problem for us - we have always used our caravan to the full, the absence of an amenity block is not an obstacle.  Fairly flat pitches, hard standing or well mown grass, and good vehicular access are strongly preferred

Other than that, 10 - 16 amp EHU, water tap, grey waste drainage and CEP are the only on site necessities.

One site we have used as a stop over between Leicestershire and Cornwall is Cadeside, near to Wellington and just off the M5.  This site is a good example of ideal access and great, but minimal, facilities.

Rowena,  Why the assumption that secluded sites are low facility sites ?  

Here's one which is pretty secluded but has toilets, hot showers, disabled facilities, dish washing, clothes washing and free wi-fi.  Look closely and there we are in the distance.

And ours!  Shouldn't say it on this thread - but reminds me of a CS we go to near Malton - has everything listed above except for the Wifi.

Is this what was hinted at on the thriving without EHU thread? Merve would be great for basic sites, I believe he offered to do an article a year or 2 back. I'll post this as a link on that thread if I can find it 😉.

I note that the magazine had something similar on favourite sites and Goldie was a contributor.

I've found the thread. Round of applause please 😉, my usual search, came up prepopulated the box as I typed but up 3 thousand odd results, usually gives it as top of the list.  I love this site 😢

Hopefully Merve will see it.

Yes, I'm afraid this Club only seems interested in promoting and publicising CLs  and its own sites.

Er ..... why does that surprise you? I've yet to see my local Sainsburys advertising great deals at Morrisons just up the road. Sometimes it's just too easy to pick fault isn't it? frown
