CLs instead of Club sites

Yes, I suspect once over there, it won’t be too dissimilar to over here. We wouldn’t book anything, but have a mix of a longer stay in an area with lots of what we want to see, so probably identify a site quite central to those places, then have a few transit nights at a cheaper rate, between such places. Fancy this for France certainly. Much larger areas to cover of course, but we wouldn’t want to be on the road every day, need to mix in some beach days, some walking and cycling days. Wouldn’t entertain Club Site price comparisons though, equivalent to £22 per night max would be our site limit…..and I’d want a decent pool for that as well🤣 And at least a couple of months away.

So, just Mum to sort out, pooch to sort out, get passports, find someone to insure dodgy OH, have to be Tunnel for me……might be on in next ten years or so🤣

But then there’s Canada and Australia calling, after Italy by train.🤔

I can also do it properly AD both here and over there but I like to think at value for money. No sense in paying for something through the nose if you can do the same cheaper

I think what you mean to say if 'one' can do it cheaper and then if it's just as good, often it isn't. Cheap is very subjective and so is value.

That’s good then - I’m sort of with a David on this.   It sounds like there are now more than three - Brue can you confirm?   TTDA, I know what you mean about well supervised 😉 but I do like the site and only about 15 miles (30 mins for us) so normally use it fairly regularly - mainly as a winter site.   

Can also recommend Burstwick Country Golf as a no facilities site bit might be too close to home for you TTDA.   Food is great at the golf club.

Thanks for that recommend Cherokee, looks very nice location, and very good price. Further for us than College Farm, we are South West of Humber. Yes, Alkborough site is very well run, love the Tea Rooms, and brilliant location if you want peace and quiet, superb birdwatching, walking and cycling. We were last there in January, there were the original three pods, but guessing possibly another gone in? It’s the kind of CL we love. I think the lads are running the pods, while the CL is still run by Mr Ogg. 

Edit. Still the three pods, but the grass pitch has now gone, and all five are now HS, and have been resurfaced and widened. Link here shows photos of layout, and more news……

Still a very very good price for all that you get👍

Agree with that. We always "do it properly" as far as we are concerned, and so far this year have done 101 nights on CL's, 3 Club sites and 3 commercial sites, all with EHU and the majority on H/ S, at an average cost of just £16:07 per night.

It is certainly looking good, and worth another visit me thinks.

Hi everyone, Can I please request that we keep comparisons to UK campsites as we are we drifting off topic with overseas comparisons. Please feel free to start a discussion here about Overseas sites and touring. Many thanks.
