Small Private Sites

It opened for me when I did the search for it.
I see the problem, there is no "s" between cottage & cs
It should read www.cherrytreecottagecs.co.uk
Fingers crossed that this will work.

That's it brue. Looks as if we posted at the same time. Thanks anyway.

There are some very nice options out there, particularly if someone needs a venue for an event, and doesn’t mind spending a bit above usual CL rates. What we like about these small private sites are they are usually a lot nicer, quieter than big Club Sites, but often similar price or cheaper. Ok, they won’t suit everyone, and might have some restrictions, but good to have a bit more choice.

yes indeed TDA, I have been known to use such sites as stopovers to our main destination, so thanks.

This is another very unusual site in your area Corners. Very different, we loved our few nights here, as it’s very much the sort of place that appeals to us. Well organised, wasn’t too busy when we stayed, but popular with campers. Camping field is separate from van/MH field.

I can second that recommendation. We stayed there a couple of years ago, primarily to attend a friend's 80th Birthday celebration at the Forest and Vale in Pickering. The site owners not only gave us a lift to the hotel, but also looked after our dog for the afternoon.

We stayed on this site last year and found it very good indeed.
It is at Ingleton in the Yorkshire Dales..

Just my thoughts - Hopefully the discussion will stay 'on track' as it's about sharing info of small uk sites.

Here’s another wonderful location. We used this site for some 15 years running, back in the 1980s/90s when it was a small family run site. We have lovely memories of this place, and indeed the area, which is a walkers paradise, and has some great tiny beaches provided you don’t mind walking to them. It’s moved on now from the site we knew, but we used it a couple of times in its early “new” days. It’s not cheap, although comparable easily with nearest Club Site, which is Looe. But the location is simply stunning. Those with large MHs will struggle though, this is an area of quaint narrow Cornish lanes and ferries across the River Fowey. The walk up from Bodinnick Ferry to the site is a lung buster, Fowey is quite simply gorgeous, with some good eateries and up market shops. It’s a yachting paradise as well. Etched onto our touring souls, it’s a place that draws you back time after time.

Not sure if we have seen this site while out and about, looks very nice. I like mixed offering sites, actual touring bit is only small. Good location, Hadrians Wall area needs more touring sites.

A nice site convenient for Malmesbury and other North Wiltshire and South Cotswold locations is Burton Hill Park on the outskirts of Malmesbury itself.

That site looks very familiar, M. Do you know if it’s changed its name in recent years? I have the word Tower in my mind in connection with it.

I could be completely confused, of course. It’s been known🤪

also like the idea of renting your very own facilities per day !

Well as far as I could see there had been no criticism of prices - only a bit of clarification about one site's website - and certainly no mention of dogs or children before your post so I did have to wonder what your motivation was!
Still, time to move on I think - do you have any UK Sites to offer as a positive contribution to the thread?

Yes, it’s a wonderfully individual place. I think it has featured in Guardian and Telegraph under best campsites.
Hope thread is proving useful, I have noted a few examples down, sometimes it’s nice to visit somewhere run very differently, and they compliment CLs well. 😁

That's another that used to be a 5 van site, a CS this time, that has expanded into a full site.

Don't know if this one would apply as a private site, but Beecraigs Country Park above Linlithgow has a 23 pitch caravan park, all huge H/S pitches in 5 separate areas, with another small area, for tents and a couple of camping pods. It has 2 excellent toilet blocks with individual toilet/shower compartments. There is midweek discount (4 nights for price of 3) in low season and a 10% discount for CC members booking 7 nights or more.

Your link isn’t live again Nellie. Not sure what others do, but I copy the webpage I want to post, then click in my post where I want to paste it, click paste, and then, hit the insert arrow on iPad which makes it live. Works every time for me.
Sounds a very nice site, we are long overdue a return visit to Linlithgow
😁

Just tried that and It looks like it worked. Thanks

Great thread topic and hope it is ‘stickied’. To add my selection: The Croft at Warden Law (near Durham) - about 16 pitches, all grass with electric. Adults only, dogs allowed, very well maintained site only a few mins from A1/A19 and the coast.
Also Overbrook Farm at Thornton le Dale. By coincidence another adults only site, 5 mins walk into village. Excellent facilities, dogs allowed, free wifi which copes with video streaming, Beautiful site landscaping, mostly hardstandings and EH on all pitches. Although around 50 pitches a lot are seasonal pitched vans. Very popular with motorhomers too.

Two crackers there flatcoat. Is the Overbrook Farm one the site off to the left when coming up off the Pickering-Helmsley road?
0 -
Flatcoat, have tried to access The Croft, and on UKcampsites it is saying that it is closed.

Following a recommendation from TTDA (?) I visited this site a few weeks ago, another one in the Pickering area. Very good value, IMO.
