Hi All
This sticky will provide the list of any CL sites which have opened or closed from the previous month in 2021. 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'.
If you have any questions please comment in this discussion and I will get back to you.
Thanks
Maddie

Posted on 16/03/2021 12:02 by harrybFurze Farm in Louth only appears to be closed for building work. Their website states "Temporarily closed". and states that new individual washrooms/toilets are being built and looks to be working towards 21st May to reopen.It is sill showing it as a cl.
So does it warrant a listing above under Sites Closed, which is not totally accurate if the site is just closed for a short period of redevelopment. Surely a not to that effect could have been made against their name.

I thought Furze Farm were converting to a slightly larger campsite and would no longer operate as a CL?

Yes it looks like that. The web site shows a new site plan with a further 14 new pitches. It also says it welcomes CAMC members which it wouldn't do if it was still a cl.
The pricing structure shows an extra of £5 per night from Fri/Sun and a departure time of 10am
I think that rules me out
If these closures showed a reason then this could have save the confusion from the start

Canvas Farm, Thirsk had a commercial site adjacent to it and we were last there, so I guess that it's now incorporated into that. Hillside Caravan Park has the same post code and directions as Canvas Farm.
Nutley Farm, Dorchester appears to be an old CL that has reopened, as it has reviews from 2017 and 2018, and even Willow Ponds, Market Weighton, has reviews from last year.

Thanks once again Maddie.
A few things strike me having looked at the sites, namely
1. Tagg Lane is still operating, presumably as an independent. Saw some caravans tyere when we passed a couple of weeks ago.
2. Washingpool Farm. They're having a laugh, aren't they? £20 for a farm field, no EHU and pre booking. No information details about the area or site given at all. No chance. Seems they are not even interested.
3. Anyone found May Cottage yet?
4. 7 new Enhanced CLs. £20 min seems to be the norm here.

Thanks again Maddie.
It would appear that May Cottage closed in July 2020, but they do have a converted cattle shed you can rent!!
Two of the site listed as new are in fact old sites that have reopened :- Wallthwaite, Troutbeck, Cumbria and Moss Cottage, Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Agree about the price hike, wonder if the CC have again had a hand in suggesting those inflated prices.
This is the link for Tagg Lane Dairy site if any one is interested ......https://www.tagglanedairy.com

Yes agree - I noticed that starting prices seem to £18 as the norm. To be charitable I wonder if it’s due to an increase in energy prices but I think it’s more to do with CMC recommending higher prices. I once asked about this as was categorically told that the CMC don’t do that 😉. Yeah right!

Hi All
CLs are independent business who decide their nightly rates.
As with any business they do experience increases in prices for Electricity and other facilities and therefore may need to increase their own prices to cover this.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club does not get any percentage of the CL's money and does not have any involvement in CL Owners choices to increase their prices.
Thanks
