CLs instead of Club sites

Brue, I’ve not stayed there but this looks a decent C&CC CS. It’s on the Threemilestone to Scorrier road not far out of Truro.

Thanks, I was intending to look up CSs in the area. I will have a look but might have found a newish CL that is OK for winter use. Quite a bit of choice even in winter, which is good. 

It’s a good 20 years since we stayed at Penolver - the CL in Mrs Hood’s garden just south of Carson Downs.  That CL is still there, and as a site in a large prolific garden is quite unique in my experience.

Loving open spaces as we do we thought it rather confined to be pitching a caravan in a garden,  but the recent reviews from those who like it there are absolutely glowing.

My garden notebook says we bought a Watsonia plant from Mrs Hood while we were there - it was thriving down there for her but it sulked and died here on the edge of the moor. 

There are some wonderful “garden” based CLs😁 I will look that one up EuroT, sounds very nice.

Brue, not sure when you plan to visit, but you might be interested in Heligan Caravan and Camping Site. I think it opens early March. Right by Heligan, and not far from main road to Truro. We haven’t stayed, but have had a good look, and what we saw looked very nice. Early prices look ok, location is stunning.

 Looks fine - but there's no way I would pay £4 p.n. for a dog. As a matter of principle, I refuse to pay extra for the dog and always avoid those sites like the plague!

£4 pn is just a way of saying no dogs .... I would imagine that more dogs owners will say no than there will be none dog lovers will stay. Obviously IMHO!

I hadn’t checked out all the prices, just the pitch fees. £4 is steep to us as well. Some Sites, of all types, do like to extract every single extra they can! The location is superb though. 

That is a nice one Euro, we know it but haven't used it possibly due to also enjoying a more open outlook ourselves. I've noticed more CLs in the area are staying open all year but we're looking for winter hardstandings.

TDA yes I know that one and will use it at some point for a revisit to Heligan. Sometimes rallies use the site so that would reduce the price too.

Thanks all. We're going to get back hopefully to seeing some Cornish Gardens which get going a lot earlier with their lovely spring displays, seeing Camellias, Mimosa trees and huge Magnolias is one of our yearly treats that we've missed due to Covid. My all time favourite are the gardens at Trebah, which lead down to a D Day beach on the Helford River, dogs are welcome and they have a good cafe and plant centre! Glendurgan Gardens are next door but we can't take dogs so have only been there once. There are loads more, I think we've seen most. So fingers crossed we get there soon!

 I presume the charges at Heligan mean they also don't want extra children, adults, cars or boats.....

Back to CLs then?!
