Hi All,

This sticky will provide the list of any CL sites which have opened or closed from the previous month in 2023 (and December 2022)

All of these will appear in the monthly magazine as well but this will show 2 months later.

I will provide a link to any new CL sites and list them as 'County - Listing Town - CL site'. We now have a dedicated page on the website which will show the most recently opened CL sites and will be updated monthly.

If you have any questions please comment in this discussion and I will get back to you.

Thanks Maddie

    Thanks Maddie.

    50% of new ones non EHU and interesting to see The Swallows being restricted to Campervans. Not something I've come across before. Each to their own.

    It’s a very isolated tiny road WN, signed unsuitable for large vehicles. Only got three pitches so quite an unusual place. 

    Sad to see Wortley Hall close as a CL, no cheap, but we had a lovel6 stay there back in June for a Wedding. I suspect there might be something like Glamping Pods going in there, would make sense to catch the wedding and celebration trade. I will keep an eye on it and report back.

    Thanks, Maddie.

    I see that 4 of the closed ones are not included in the 2023 Site Directory in any case :- The Queen Victoria, Wharfe House, Northfield Lodge and Wortley Hall.

    If you look at the Wortley Hall website it seems to be concentrating on a more upmarket hotel experience and perhaps they felt that was at odds with having either camping or pods on the same site? Given the history of Wortley Hall it seems that not all union members are in need of a pay increasesmile

    I spoke to staff back in June DK, they said it was more to do with unwanted incursions by Travellers, but I have no doubt they can and will earn more income from Glamping pods. We stayed for three nights, and almost everyone on the CL was doing the same as us, there for a wedding, short turnover of stays. It’s a nice place inside, but boy do they know what to charge for weddings, as with most similar, every tiny little item was billed as an extra. Family said hotel rooms were nice, food certainly was. We would have gone back again to CL, even at £24 a night as it is on our doorstep for some great cycling.

    I don't expect they will have many customers (if any) on a bank holiday weekend, £25 a night without electric is just crazy money.

    The Northfield Lodge is one of two on the farm. It would appear they have closed the non EHU site but retained the site with EHU. 

    Have used the Northfield Farm EHU site, very nice.

    The February edition of the magazine says that Valesmoor CL (Brockenhurst)  has been closed, but it remains in place on the club website at the present time.  Please clarify.

    It is no longer on the web site, CG, so guess it was a delayed removal by the IT guys!

    Maddie, could you confirm that Blythe Waters CL, Solihull, No.1556 in SD, is closed, please. There has been no notifications on either CT or in the magazine of it having closed but it is not showing up in the search on the club's CL web site. Thanks.

    Maddie, we are now well into June and there has been no update on here since Mid April. Is there a reason for this, as I don't believe that there have been no changes since then?

    Thanks, Maddie. Bit depressing, with twice as many closures as new ones opening.

    Looks as if your reporting of it worked, DC!!😊

    Sorry to see Kingston Lacy and Stourhead CL's are now closed have stayed at the first one but not the second although have looked at it a few years what a shame, perhaps the NT might run these under their own branding although would think prices will go up.

    I think it might have been the pricing structure at Stourhead that might have seen it's demise? My understanding is that they started to offer inclusive entry included in the CL price which made it very expensive for more than one night?

    You can still stay at Stourhead, looks like like it’s a minimum of two nights.
