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!

We're talking about end users here not providers. If I book a CL I'm hoping it will resemble what it says it will provide. So far this year the CLs we've used were 5 vans only. I was slightly worried about one of them but it was OK. Good holidays are built on trust.

"Just take as many as you can, club members or not."

Indeed, how much more transparent could you be?

What is "nit picking" about expecting CL operators to adhere to the terms of their exemption permission?  This thread is about CLs breaching those rules, not about campaigning for a change in the law.

Fish why resort to personal comments, why not just argue your point?

There's another CT rule here forming, if someone doesn't like being challenged about a post rather than give a rational counterpoint say the reply is nit picking?

You've questioned a lot of things about CLs? you've questioned if inspections happen and a few posters have said they did and met such inspectors, and your latest with no enformcent...

How do you know all this to be true?

I am just wondering at what age deep cynicism, mistrust and curmudgeonlyless kicks in. It’s a phase I so hope I can swerve............😂

If I had to queue to reach the top of Snowdon I might start to think about where tourism has gone wrong and where less is more for some of us and why a 5 van CL is attractive. smile

It would appear that a minority of posters on this thread resent the fact that I raised this issue in the first place - and even more they felt that It shouldn't have been reported to the Club.

I am not a 'serial moaner'.  I joined the club in 1979 and have used (almost exclusively) Cls throughout the following 42 years.

Not ONCE have I felt it neccessary to raise a complaint about a CL - or anything else - with the club in all that time !
