My son would buy the whole package and then sell the poles on e-Bay for almost as much as the full package cost in the first place.

Just to contradict you if I may. On my website I have reviews of 121 UK campsites of which 78, quite a proportion, are motorhome friendly in terms of location. That might mean walking distance of something of interest or with transport links within easy reach of the campsite. There are probably many more that I am yet to visit but all I am saying they are out there if people do their research.
The OP mentioned in particular Scotland which I only have limited experience of but I am sure there will be sites that meet that requirement. However I got the impression the OP wanted to be away from everything anyway so I am not sure how the Club can help given Rowena's response on behalf of the Club. There seem to be many motorhomers who will include the odd day on a site in order to fill up and empty, perhaps do a bit of washing. There are many reasons why the Club would have problems with itinerant use of its facilities most of them explained by Rowena.

To be honest, I am beginning to wonder. The name change does appear to have been merely cosmetic. The mindset hasn't changed. Like many, if it wasn't for the excellent CL network, I'd be out of here.

If I was regularly arriving on site at 7pm onwards after work on a Friday then that would be my solution CY - to book elsewhere. As it is that does not happen and in the last 10 years have always got a HS on those CC sites that are not all grass

the 'many' who are not filling up a lot of sites over Easter to full that is?
0 -
yes, on CT, but not those going to sites.
But that's great isn't it, they use CAMC membership for that, let them carry on - it's an advantage worth paying for, we all pay our membership for something. They use that part of their membership for CLs, others use main club sites, something for everyone.
But then why do they need to keep complaining about club sites and their prices?

Reading through this thread, and some other current ones, I see that there are a few contributers who think that The Caravan Club should do things differently. I began to wonder how nice it would be if they picked one site to use as an experiment and implemented these changes to find out the effect in the real world.
So what would be changed; non-bookable hard pitches close to entrance, two way roads; free sewage points for all passers-by; no trees (remember bird droppings); no grass (remember mowers); ever-open toilets; booking by pitch number; huge range of supplies in wardens office; site the caravan whever one wants on pitch; etc
I'm sure I must have missed some. However, they will never do it since wherever they picked it would be in the "wrong place".

Good post, for these people the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many.
You missed off cheap pitches for MHs
0 -
wrong, yet again....
you do seem to have trouble remembering some things don't you....
the suggestions for short turnaround, non EHU pitches would have been for all members...
are you just being your usual divisive self again...?
0 -
not at all on both counts, and no need to be rude yet again BB. As we have reminded you you wanted smaller pitches only for MHs only, but later changed your mind. Glad to help again, keep savvy

and turn car parks into MH only aires

Until some wild campers clean up their act (literally) then I can't see why the club should be assisting with such practices

Have not read the whole of the 30 pages but it seems to have degenerated into a MH v Caravan thread yet again with some caravanners so misinformed of what MH's need/want v what they want and because it is different to what they want they don't want MH to have it in case they get something caravanners cant have

'Some' being the crucial word, in all my years of Caravanning and Motorhoming I have only once seen a motorhoming 'wild camper' leave a mess and He/they were Foreign Italian visitors to the Hebrides.(We cleared it up).
However I have seen scores of Car Parks, School Playing Fields, Sports Clubs invaded by so called 'Travellers/Gypsies 'using Caravans and Motorhomes . Dont use sweeping statements otherwise we ALL get tarred with the same brush.

well as you see I didn't, so that's OK then

you must keep up to be savvy BB and don't jump on the nearest bandwagon. And again no need to be nasty and use ridicule is there when you don't agree with a post? Aren't all members entitled to express their views with you?
I posted a few days ago of my conversation with a framer repairing his fence next to an area that is often used by MHs (it was used 6 out of 10 days I was there) just a few hundred meters from the site. He complained about how those using that area often dump their waste at the back of the area leaving at best dirty waster and at worst blue cassette waste.
That is personal experience, but a quick google search reveals so many stories like:
HUMAN excrement in the sand dunes, perpetually blocked public toilets and dozens of campervans staying overnight in the public car park at Black Rock Sands beach, Morfa Bychan, have angered local residents
There are many more, some others have on CT too. So until some wild campers clean up their act...

of course. Never happens. The BBC caught lying yet again
Also that farmer must have been lying to me

You said it all Corners, farmer or site owner with their own agenda

You really believe that people who empty their waste at the back of this area will pay to use a club site to do that if it were available?
I mean there is a few CCC site within a few miles where they could have done this but didn't.
