Posted on 19/06/2022 10:55 by brueWe've stayed with Forest Holidays, I assumed they are all cabins/lodges. I see Delamere now has a lodge area, sounds like this is the way things are going. However other camp sites are available.

Posted on 19/06/2022 13:54 by peedeeWhat 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?

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.
