I run a “basic CL” or “Off Grid CL” and have been asked by a couple of members to start a new discussion about the Non-EHU Sites List and Google Map we have created so that others so inclined may find it of use.

SO IF YOU USE OFF GRID CLS YOU MAY LIKE THE FOLLOWING and you can see how many Non - EHU (Off Grid) CAMC CLs are out there!
I have produced a sheadsheet database of the CAMC non EHU (Off Grid CLs)
It is available for anyone of view with the link. Click here to open the Non EHU CL sheet
The default view of the sheet should be CLs sorted by County. There are currently 434 listed on this sheet along with the postcodes. You can scroll up and down the list on the right vertical scroll bar and left & right on the bottom scroll bar. There are links to the CLs page listing on the CAMC website in column 5 which should open a separate page and take you there, to the right of that there will be a blue dot if they have images to view. To the right of this is a range of facilities available a dot against CLs row means available. If you view the Non EHU CL Google sheet by clicking a sharing link or from the link above on this page on a computer you will be able to sort data by filtering what you do or don’t want (there are some “filter views” already set up! “A-Z County”, “A-Z CL Name” , Postcode, etc)
Look for Filter Views along the icon menu bar above the sheet for  to the right will be a down arrow if you click that it will show the filterviews already set up go down and click the one you wish to view. You can also you hover over the top on the right of the column header (the cell where the letters are) a down type arrow will appear or if you see  you will be able to sort sheet, click it and click sort A-Z (this work on the the dots as will group them all together!)

We have now produced a Google Map to show the location and info of each of the non EHU/Off Grid CLs visited in the April 2018 updated database Click here to view. You can zoom in on the area you are interested in and click the icons, this will bring up the data on the CL.

If you find an issue or would like us to edit/add an entry please leave a comment on the sheet page or email me. We will update the Google sheet monthly after going through the Club Magazine CLs update page.

If the links dont work both are available via your website https://newtongrove.co.uk/find-a-non-ehu-cl/

Love this thread. Well done John- just the sort of input we need. Great to see non EHU getting a fair hearing on the Forum which is more than I can say for the CAMC magazine!

Johnny great idea but how financially viable is your site? i see you are £10.50 per night but on checking a few dates, even in August you have 5 pitches available, we found without EHU we were in the same situation.

I think and hope that more and more people will start to see a way through new technologies to enjoy much cheaper holidays without ‘going back to basics’ as the CMHC likes to call it. I have now been off grid for four years and have saved a serious amount of cash on pitches with EHU. I have had brilliant holidays with everything I needed. I accept totally that the EHU has its place, particularly in winter but most of the year the SP keeps everything up and running. If only the CMHC would accede to my request to do a full article on ‘Modern’ offgrid caravanning. I have made two requests and been promised a result- the first over 3 years ago and I’m still waiting. Perhaps they really don’t want to go down the rabbit hole as they would be frightened by what they found? So it’s up to this forum to put the message out. I have been contacted by caravanners around the country who have heard the message and to a man, they have been thrilled with what they have done to get away from the umbilical cord. I look forward to next week- my first foray with my new lithium battery. 1/4 weight of 2 lead acids and many more advantages. It’s a very exciting time with technology, and we all have the chance to use it and to reduce fossil fuel use. I believe the non EHU sites have a much better future now than they ever have had. Thanks Johnny for your work in this field- no pun intended 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder why you think the club would promote going off grid when they are selling pitch nights on sites that are almost fully EHU, Merve? That’s akin to turkeys voting for Christmas. smile

Because we are members too Tinny. I am not asking them to PROMOTE  it , just have the courage to talk about it- to be an unbiased club!! They may not like it but that’s the result of catering for everyone- an inclusive membership but I take your point very well. Thanks for pointing it out mate!!

Hi there Johnny57 and others,

I have to mirror everyone else's comments and say, what a brilliant, quick reference, spreadsheet that is!  Well done!

With regard to Merve's comments requesting a non-electric Certificated Locations feature in the magazine, I have forwarded this on.

I hope you all had a lovely Mayday weekend.  For most of us, the weather was record-breaking, brilliant!  cool

Hi Gibbo456
We had 4 in for the early May Bank Holiday but were fully booked at Easter, surprised given all the rain and grass was so water logged. This year is better than last year have exceeded the total we had booked for the whole of last year this week!
Why do you not put a link to your site when you post? others that read this discussion may like to have a look and maybe make a booking.
I like your aerial image.
