We booked a CL back in March for a ten day stay. Upon arriving today we were most annoyed to find SIX OTHER UNITS pitched, who clearly were not leaving. We were expected as well, since there was a stake with our name on it where we, THE SEVENTH were expected to set up ! Needless to say, we didn't. 

Are there no checks ,especially in ' honey pot' areas like the South West , especially with the boom in 'staycationing'. 

The owner was most put out on finding that we wouldn't be stopping, claiming that she could have let the spot many times over.  Not without breaking the rules, she couldn't!

In my view it’s better to report the breach and risk losing one site from the network rather than letting it continue with the possible outcome of the club losing its right to issue exemption certificates. That would result in us losing approx 2000 sites.

On the bank holiday weekend I stayed on a CL in North Wales for 5 nights, on 3 of those nights they had 6 vans. When I mentioned his to the owners son the reply was .”We are allowed 6 vans because we have 6 hook ups.”
