Posted on 18/01/2021 12:20 by DJButA significant number of CLs across the UK can now boast fully serviced pitches, at least to the extent of offering water to each pitch as well as EHU. Many additionally provide grey water drainage, although some others permit drainage into the nearby hedge.
As in previous years the new Sites Directory does not specifically include identification of serviced pitches and to some extent this is also true on the CAMC website. Even after a major investment many owners do not advertise their new facility. Sometimes the presence of such facilities is only discovered by reading reviews.
The last comprehensive list of serviced pitch CLs was published in this group in June 2019 and much has changed since then. As a result I have scoured previous sources, examined CLs listed in the new handbook, together with those on the website and compiled a comprehensive list of 151 current CLs which offer enhanced pitch facilities (including the four new CLs as listed in the January magazine). I hope readers will find it useful. If you know of others not listed I will be pleased to add them as time goes on, and I will check each new magazine for new arrivals.
Please post extras if you know of any I missed.
To satisfy the CAMC system the PDF I prepared has been split into three JPG files. Not as easy to read as a PDF - sorry.

Enhanced pitch CLs
Further to my original posting last January and the supportive comments more recently I have brought the listing up to date (I hope) and, as it is still not possible to post a pdf as an attachment, I have created the listing as a Google Sheet instead.
I hope it can be found on:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS6NRLsHEnm1dMWr9h0zqpWOhfKyBBkZPtRsxTEyRrCB15H00viI2DzpyOuHUcRn4vIjeJ5tWewB1h2/pubhtml?gid=561139183&single=true (copy and paste into address bar)
It is clear from recent Sites Updates in the mag that new CLs with enhanced pitches are becoming popular but whether any can justify £30 per night (as in the case of one newcomer) can be justified.
I'll be happy to receive all additions/amendments for future editions.

Enhanced pitch CLs
My apologies for posting a long web link which overran the page width AND for not proof reading my comment lower down. It was late at night!
The link to the Google Sheet listing of CLs with enhanced facilities can be found here:
(Right click the link then 'Open in a new tab')
It is clear from recent Sites Updates in the mag that new CLs with enhanced pitches are becoming popular but whether any can justify £30 per night, as in the case of one newcomer, is debateable.
