I know not all of you get the regular emails from the Club but I thought I would post a link to the refurbishment of Cayton Village near Scarborough. There are a couple of videos as well. See Link here. We enjoyed our stay there last year although we had some misgivings. However the upgrade looks to address most of those issues.

We probably have to get used to campsites that were previously near quiet villages and small towns getting engulfed by housing on all sides. For those that see campsites as the destination, rather than just a place to stay whilst exploring the surrounding area, will probably be disappointed. However for those that use campsites as a base there could be benefits by way of better, or at least secured, public transport and perhaps improved local amenities.

David, I take on your view and have to agree. But as one of those that see the campsite as my destination with the added bonus that I can also explore should I wish.
I can see that club sites become just “car parks” and membership decreases accordingly. Members that remain, may well find that during the night, the next pitch is occupied by a HGV, because it makes more economical sense. 😬

It seems the trend is towards motorhomes and if they do become the majority in years to come I suspect the more "urban" environment maybe not such an issue. After all if motorhomers are happy to park "cheek by jowl" on Continental Aires, in towns and cities, then the closeness of habitation and services, plus the luxury of a large CMC pitch might not be a problem for many. I am not sure we need to worry as the sites further away from things will remain more remote and I think we should take comfort from the fact that only 2% of the land mass on England is actually built on, so a long way to go. The problem only arises when your favorite campsite is next door to that 2%?
