2023 Site Directory CLs missing.

Only Farmer Giles and Wych Valley appear to be open?

Not so, as I have just checked!😄 Both North View Farm and Airds Bay are showing as being open on their respective CC CL web pages.

Both The Eel's Foot and LBF, Cox Site are in the new Site Directory and there has been no notification that either has closed, which was what I was querying.

Hi Nellie

I know we are waiting for confirmation from one or two on that list to see what their plans are this year.

I will check the rest and come back to you asap.

Thanks

Yes your right, my mistake.

Thanks, Maddie, and peedee too.😉

Still no update from Maddie on my query above, and I have found another.

Highfield, Lochmaben - No.1875 in the current Site Directory is no longer on the web site, and there is a note on the CL's website saying that they have called it a day after 38 yrs! Such a shame as it was a fine wee site.

It appears that a visit from me to a CL is the kiss of death. This is not the first CL I've used that has closed shortly after. 

I wonder how much is due to the lack of CAMC support for CL owners. The current website certainly does them no favours.

That happened to us. In 2019 we stayed at two CL's both are now no longer CL's. However I doubt whether the reasons for closures had anything to do with the Club. In one instance the venue was also a hotel/conference centre and they seemed to have moved upmarket so caravans and motorhome longer fit in their image and the other seems to have gravitated towards permanent accommodation like pods which bring in far more money that the odd pitch being booked for a few days at £15 a night.

I think the Club must have been concerned about the impact of the new website on CL's, otherwise they wouldn't now be suggesting that people use the old search facility?
