2019 Monthly Open and Closed CL List

CLMaddie

Hi All,

We often find more closures around this time of year as CL owners decide if they want to continue with the site. With it being winter the number of new sites opening is often lower as the works required to set up the site can be weather permitting. We have many sites in the process of completing their work and lots of applications still coming in. 

We are working very hard to spread the word about CL site where ever we can. 

Thanks

Maddie

Thanks for the update Maddie. Those of us who love CLs will do our best to share with other members as well, to try some out.

We had a motto at work, no doubt used by many other places as well....

”Use them, or lose them!” 👍

Although listed as a new CL in fact The Old Stacey is an old CL that closed last My and has re-opened. No.1132 in the Site Directory.

The closures of CL’s is very disturbing. Month after month we see the network shrinking. I wonder what effect people buying campers and MoHos and then ‘wild camping ‘ are having??? 20 yrs ago, they would have been caravans and on sites. I hope the CAMC can get the message out that if they don’t use these sites they will close. CAMC should be working hard through their website and magazine to encourage use of The CLs

 

as TTDA says and quite rightly 

USE THEM OR LOSE THEM!!

Bogroy Croft isn't on the potential closures list by any chance is it? I emailed them 3 days ago to enquire about booking for June. Then I texted them....then today I rang and left a message on the their answerphone but still heard nothing.

I'm now looking at commercial sites (Invernahavon, Rothiemurchus etc) as I'm after a base with good access to the Cairngorms.

A CL is always my first choice but this is the only one which suits our needs in this area😣

There's a small 3 van site in the village where we stayed last year, Ar-Dachaigh. There's a review on Caravan and Motorhome  Chat that might help.

Hi thebells,

I'm sorry you haven't heard back from Bogroy Croft.

We are in the process of certificating our CL sites for the 2020 season. At present Bogroy Croft has not been certificated but we are hoping to have resolved this by the end of January. 

Thanks

Maddie

Hmmmm, a reply from them would have been polite☺

Anyway,  I've booked Invernahavon commercial site as our Cairngorm base now (their offices etc don't open until April but they did at least reply to me!).

Hi Maddie, has Bleak House Farm CL at York closed, we used to use it quite a lot, but not been for a while, have lost the contact details and cannot find it in the search section.

It's no longer on Johnny's list of non-EHUs CL's so I think that it must have closed Lara. O

LaraFT

Thanks for the reply Nellie, what a superb document Johnny's list is, as we prefer cl's and not fussed about ehu to have all this information is brilliant.

Does anyone know what happened to Isycoed Farm under Vale of Glamorgan, number 2265 in 2019/20 SD?

It's not showing in club webpages and I've trawled through this tgread to see if I missed it closing.

Any info gratefully received.

Have a look at Maddie's latest list, WM. Isycoed is listed as having closed in January.....another one gone.

Yes, just seen it. Pity as it would have been a handy stop for us if we head that way in summer. Thanks for the post btw.
