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.

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

I try to avoid hard standings and CLs are not usually as fussy as club sites re the use of two leads.

Loads of room here. And water and electric to each pitch.

 

No hedges separating pitches but no real need. One of our favourite CL's

Is there a problem with 2 leads? I always carry them but rarely need to use the 2nd

I've no problem with joining leads but it's a court marshal offence at a club site (should you want/need to)

The problem with two leads is the joint between them is not water tight, unless they are inside a watertight connector cover

nothing quite stating the obvious .... 🙄 but as long as they're not sat in a puddle 😉

Thank you all for the replies so far.  I hadn't specified a geographical area as we are totally open to try anywhere - this year we feel its probably as important to us to get the right site as it is to think about the area to visit.  There is always something new and fun to discover where ever you end up.  Last year we stayed on a lovely CL with huge pitches and hedging which I would recommend to anybody - Olcote Farm, Huttoft in Lincolnshire - never been to Lincs before but we loved it!  

Thank you again - any more suggestions welcome.

If it absolutely must be a CL then there are others who can give you better advice than I can, but if you are willing to widen your choice to find the sort of space you are asking for then look through the photos and details on the Cool Camping website - some of the campsites there are very informal and out of the ordinary and might meet your wish list.
