CL or Site Availability Summer 2021 (1 Viewer)

Don't understand this - anywhere suitable for a caravan, must be also okay for a motorhome ?

Britstops is another good resource.

It's all about location. A caravan has a car and can therefore be anywhere. We love the German setup where motorhomes are catered for inside the towns and villages, often free.

Always find that most site’s are close to bus services.

That's something we look for. I remember a site at Scarborough that advertised a short walk to the bus stop and 1 mile to town. Turned out it was on the top if the steepest of hills with a narrow road without footpaths and it was about 2 1/2 miles to the bus with a further 3 miles to town. Knackered walking back in the dark.

I've always considered Motorhoming to be touring, caravan stay put for a few days
With a bit of research, you can find parking for most vans.
If you want to play being a caravan, and be onsite for a few days...
...you can always hire a car

There are solutions to most challenges, just depends on how flexible you're willing to be.

Weekends, in peak season at a premium location is always going to be difficult.
Even in Europe.

We don't do premium locations, there are much better places that, at least in Europe, we don't have to book in peak season.

Give some of the smaller CL sites a try, we even had Tesco deliver here recently to one organised party.

We love CLs, but you have to phone to book, hence my original question does anyone have a feel for the general availability of these. I don't want to start booking them only to find I can't fill my itinerary.

Look I've got to thank everyone for the suggestions I think you've covered the field (pun). Lots to try out.

For reasons I don't wish to expand upon, we need to stay near home this year. We took the decision to take a step backwards to what we did for many years and are camping weekends with the local DA of the C&CC and hopefully a few weeks at THS's. Much cheaper, less crowded and far more our style than busy commercial sites
