Camping in the Forest Sites

It’s the clever way to go for sure-another revenue stream in the fight for survival👍🏻

What other organisations in this country, other than the two Clubs could manage 10 sites?

Are we likely to see them run by a foreign Company?

Numerous organisations, PD. Look at all the commercial operators such as Haven and Parkdean for starters. I know, I know but they’re out there.

We used to stay on a John Fowler estate, they run a number of sites, admittedly not camping and caravanning, but it’s more about managing resources than specifics. We used a holiday cottage, privately owned that was within one of the JF locations, and very nice it was too. Access to all the extras like the pool, the eateries, the sports facilities. Any big leisure franchise could operate the sites. I know, I used to work for one.

Sherwood Pines is super popular, used by hundreds of thousands of folks for lots of different activities. Center Parcs (another provider) is next door. Serves South Yorks, Lincolnshire, Notts, Derbyshire conurbations, so millions of folks. 

I completed surveys for Forest and Land Scotland this morning. Helping hopefully to encourage them to maintain and expand the “Stay a Night in the Forest” initiative. Which incidentally does include caravans at some locations, not just MHs/ campers.

We used to stay at Forestry Commission sites in the Forrest of Dean, fabulous sites, don't know if they are still in operation.

+1, I’ve loved staying at Bracelands, walking in FoD &  finding Boar wallows👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

         Spot on! must have stayed there a dozen times or more when the boys were little. they would go down to the PGL The Biblins outward bound course as my mate was an instructor. Fabulous times alas 45 + years ago.

Things like that are precisely what memories are made for, reliving them over & again ADP👏🏻👏🏻
