Reserved CL Pitches specifically for Touring

Hi,

We started our CL last year and over the winter we have been reviewing our approach to running the CL - specifically with regard to numbers of units on the site.

We too have caravanned for years and we run our site in the mindset of what we best enjoy about caravanning.  To this end we have decided to limit the number of pre-book'able pitches this coming season.  There will be 3 pitches that are book'able in advance, but the remaining will only be available to those who tour and arrive without booking, or with minimal advance warning (to save on potentially wasted fuel/journey time).

We fully appreciate that this will no doubt decrease our income, but we aim to run a tranquil hide-away site anyway, and money is not the sole reason why we run a CL!  In todays age of busy lives where everyone seems to pre-book everything we want to support those who still want to leave a little more to chance, adventure and exploration!

So, if on your summer travels you find yourself heading towards South Cheshire, feel free to give us a call and we look forward to being part of your adventure!

As tourers ourselves we hope other CLs for (whom this suits) follow this idea, and nurture the inner explorer in all of us.

I wonder how much abuse you will get trom those who just turn up and get turned away as someone has beaten them to it. Good luck to you for trying a new idea even though it wouldn't suit me not to know for such a few days in advance where I was going.

I doubt there will be any abuse at all.

As a longtimecaravanner you will recall when both the CC and the Camping club both kept 25% of pitches back for touring members. Then they got greedy and wanted to maximise profitability negating the concept of  "club member".

There are a heck of a lot of us who don't want to book anything and are sufficiently confident to be quite unconcerned if we have to spend the odd night in a Sainsbury's or a pull in spot somewhere in an emergency.

I will be visiting this year and wish them all the very best.
