Full service CLs

A couple more sites have been listed this month, using the 'CL Sites Update' in the mag.
Riverside View will be added once the description and site website has been brought up to date. Garreg Wen Uchaf features enhanced pitches but no electric provision, so it does not qualify.
The updated listing can be found here

Lyons Farm and Condover Park have now been added, in addition to two new ones listed in the latest mag.
I agree with the above comments that there needs to be an 'enhanced pitches' filter. It would save me a job!

Further to my email suggesting these pictograms. I have now sent off another email as I understand the new directory goes to print in September. Lets hope the answer is more positive than the last one=======================================

Good luck Harry. I've sent ones in the past but they have never received a reply. Hope they have some sense and are open to new suggestions.I received a reply from the club on the 19th Jul confirming they had received my email and would follow it up after passing it onto the CL team. We are now 17 working days further on and no reply yet. So like you Wherenext it appears I didn't have Good Luck

DJB, another to add to the list, perhaps. Under Much Wenlock, Shropshire, Park Grange, No.1239 in the current Site Directory, has a tap with a two way splitter between every pair of pitches, the 6th being a spare pitch. Greg waste goes into the hedge behind each pitch, which are all on grass and have EHU.

DJB, your No.153, Church Farm, Wiltshire does have a website, (churchfarmstays) but it is not listed on the club's old CL page. Don't know if it is included in the new booking system's web page.

I received the latest mag today and decided to set about updating the spreadsheet of CLs with enhanced facilities. I always check on the CAMC website to establish other details. At that point I came face-to-face with the new bookings website !
In the past newly listed CLs have always had their own web page but, searching the new 'super deluxe' system, none of them exist. I searched for Court Farm, only to find that there are three Court Farms listed (without any additional guidance to indicate where each one is) only to find that the listed one, near Lewes, does not yet exist. I would have expected that new CLs would gain a presence on the website long before they appear in the mag. None of the other new sites in the CL Sites Update are listed. A poor show for the aspiring new CL owners.
Having given the new bookings system a trial run I can fully understand the feeling of desperation in the ranks. Much of the previously useful information about Club Sites and CLs has now disappeared and instead we are presented with sites literally thousands of miles away. Why have indicative site fees for CLs become a trade secret?
The new website even tries to establish how old I am - yes, OK for continental trips but not for dear old UK. What is the GDPR justification for CAMC needing to know this data?
Back to the spreadsheet. It's on pause until CAMC smartens up its website(s) so that I can find the info I need. Sorry folks!

DJB, I think the only way to access them at the moment is to go the the list given by Maddie on here each month, or so. If you look at the 2022 open and closed Sticky put out by Maddie you can get a link into the new CLs. For Court Farm at Lewes, it appears in her August list and so do others too. These lists don't always match up with what is published in the magazine but it is better than nothing.
Hope this is of assistance.

DJB, another to add to your list. No.1599, Avonbank Meadows, is all grass, as well as EHU each pitch has water and a drain. There's free WiFi and it has its own website.

I've re-gigged the previous listing of Full Service CLs by inserting the identification numbers as listed in the 2023/24 Sites Directory.
There are three sites (Goonmarris Farm, Cornwall, Bearse Farm, Lydney and Airds Bay, Taynuilt) which feature in the web CL pages but I have not been able to find within the new handbook. Have they closed or have I not looked hard enough?
From fairly small beginnings there are now 216 known CLs with 'enhanced facilities'.
The revised listing can be found here

Thanks for that DJB.👍
I haven't got my new SD yet, as we are still away, but did you look at St Austell for Goonmarris Fm? Airds Bay is in the last SD, No.1838. No clue about Bearse Fm, Lydney
Hope this helps.

I’m not sure they were ever links, were they? I always thought it was a helpful list of sites.🤷🏻♂️

Re Bearse Farm…The ever reliable spyglass icon on the website, and then typing Bearse Farm in the search box reveals this site in the twinkle of an eye. I never know why people search any other way.

However the eyeglass doesn't work if one is looking in the site directory!!😁 Bearse Farm is a brand new CL that is not included in the SD, only being shown for the first time, in print, in the Dec 22 edition of the club's magazine.

As I will be ceasing my membership of the CAMC at the end of February (after 30 years) this listing of Fully Serviced CLs will cease to be updated - at least by me.
If there is an member who wishes to take over I can forward the Goole Sheets listing.
You can contact me at djbut72@gmail.com.
PS Many thanks for the various contributions from members over the last two years.

What a great shame that you are leaving the "club" DJB, I for one will miss the updated list, and contributing to it too.
Not being very competent on a computer, although I would like the list to be regularly updated, I am afraid that I would make a hash of it if I attempted to keep it so.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Many thanks to nelliethehooker and wherenext for you kind remarks.
To date no-one else has offered to continue the listing.
The last version, correct to end of January, is still available and can be sent as an editable Google Sheets file to whoever may wish to continue. All it needs is to examine the Sites Update page in each mag and then update the sheet. Instruction on how to make it available are a bit complex but the instructions are there (or a YouTube video maybe).
Happy caravanning.

DJB - I'm willing to have a look at it and probably take it on. I'm retired so have plenty of time on my hands. My only reservation is that because I use a Mac (and Airbook when we are away) it might turn out to be more complicated than if using Windows - but I'll see, and if I can get my head round it, will happily take it on. It would be a shame if this facility was lost considering all the work that's gone into it in the past. I'll contact you later.
