Hi, would love to hear any recommendations for CL's - anywhere - that have particularly spacious pitches and/or hedges/screening between pitches for privacy.  We are not anti-social but do also like a lot of personal space, and this feels especially important to us in these strange times.  We stayed in the summer of 2020 on a great CL where pitches were 12 m spacing between them and had hedge screening too.  Would love to go back there but also keen to try new areas - any suggestions very welcome and thank you.

Not a CL - but a CS - Thornthorpe Farm and Equestrian Centre, 2 miles south of Malton.  5 vans in 2 acres - can't be more spread out than that! Unlikely to get any tents at the moment due to toilet block being closed because of Covid restrictions.  Adult only.  One of our favourite spots.

Hartendale Farm at Flamborough is spacious, like being in a large landscaped garden. You need to carry a couple of hook up leads to get well away from others, but pitches aren’t fixed, you just pitch up wherever your lead (or not😁) reaches. There is a storage compound and a rally field adjacent, so best to enquire about any rallies planned prior to booking. It’s AO, as deep pond on site, nice walks straight from Site. Good for pooch owners.

Virtually all CLs have spacious pitches compered with club pitches. I don't think we've ever been on a CL where we felt we were crammed in.

I think personal space is important to all of us, especially now.

Read the reviews and look at the pictures of the CLs as that'll give you a good idea.

Btw, we don't know what areas are new to you which means making suggestions is very hit and miss.

Good hunting!

Most!! CLs/CSs have spacious pitches compared to other types of siteswink

The problems arise with the herding instinct. of others  that do; it seems, need " to be together"surprised

But there is also if the CL/CS has hard standings and/or EHU if your umbilical will reachundecided

Try Brambles on Angelsey. Meets your criteria.

Agree with Ttda about Hartendale Farm. Take 2 EHU cables though.

We've stayed on a few that we would look for alternatives when in those areas again. Generally though I agree with you.

OP might want to pay attention to those CLs that show 1 acre or more as their ground space and then check them out on UK Holidays CL section for photos or reviews.

We stayed at New Farm Holiday CL about 10 miles north of Boston 2 years ago. Has 2 acres and it pitching is up to member.
