    I was offering further info jvb. There are some members out there who rarely use sites and enjoy rallies. smile

    There is a bit of hardstanding area near the canal bridge. His "lad" who cut the grass has a big tractor. wink

    Both clubs run rallies. Temporary Holiday Sites (THS) are the other club. 

    By the sound of blue's search comments, it seems Google is a better finder than this club's site search! 😉

    BoleroBoy, I'm about to send off a non refundable deposit for a THS, so some are obviously very popular and get oversubscribed. smile

    If you sign up for a centre on your profile you'll get the printed list with the next (I think?) magazine otherwise you'll have to wait for the PDF to launch. The only problem is some centres send in late lists so it's sometimes better to look at individual centre rallies in the membership section.

    edit I think CAMC is going to start promoting centres once more in the magazine, I wonder if this will include rallies. The C&CC "Out and About" flyer in their magazine is good if you've signed up to receive it.

    If so its changed as in the past when the kiddywinks were young ,it mastered not whether you even ,were members of any centre, you could go to a rally or holiday rally if there was room, as long as you were a member of this club

    That's right JVB, anyone can go to a rally as a CAMC member, you don't have to belong to a centre.

    BB the THS we hope to go on....the CAMC has one in a similar spot but was fully booked already so I'm not going to say any more...or I may miss a place on my next attempt. wink

    Last year we booked Wareham RFC but had to abandon it due to Covid. This year I'm looking at other places.

    You could, if you want to go somewhere you really like offer to run a rally and get yourself to your ideal place. So far the Brues don't have the get up and go but thankfully some do! 

    Apologies this is getting away from "best camp sites" but might be useful to some.

    BoB is a collection of commercial sites. Whether jointly owned as a business or simply grouped together, I don’t know. There’s no way they’d list club owned sites.

    Thank you all for your posts, it's been good reading through what makes a good site for some. Lots of variety is what we like, the site that JimE mentioned is on our list to visit, almost made last year. 

    A nice friendly thread as well smile

    Good to bring rallies into it as its a topic that isn't often discussed on here. We've not done rallies as I shy away from 'organised'  events.

    THS is something we might consider at some stage. They would be good for filling in gaps in a tour maybe. We don't get many up here.

    Like some others we are hoping to get back to Europe this year where we will visit some of our favourite sites and introduce our friends to them.

    Happy touring wherever it takes you.

    The first site I ever went to was one ot the Best of British sites (Lincoln Park Farm) At the time there were less than 6 sites listed (!989/90). I guess site quality must have improved because there are many more members now.

    TG Rallies can be as organised as you like, themes are many and varied and you can always do your own thing. Some of the best holidays I have had have been the "organised" holiday rallies.
