Coming down The Rest-and-be-Thankful this week I recalled that there was once a Club site at Ardgarten. It got me wondering about other "lost" sites and the memories people had of them. What are YOUR memmories?
Do I remember correctly that there was once a Blackpool North site?

I think Blackpool is still there!
We have stayed on Newcastle Race Course, Elvaston Castle, Folkestone Racecourse, Brighton Race Course, Braithwaite Fold, Stanmore Hall (or something like that), Houghton Mill. all of which are no longer campsites or no longer run by the Club. There are probable more which I can't think of.

Leverton Park at Truro is now a Wickes and other various shops.
It was put to better use as a site.
Write your comments here...It was a smashing site ,we stopped there by chance one Christmas before living in Cornwall and we loved it despite us both being poorly.

Hexham Racecourse, Wetherby Racecourse, Ladycross Plantation, all gone from Club network. In two weeks time, we say a very sad goodbye to Much Wenlock!
Write your comments here...Gosh never realised Wetherby used to be a club site , we were just there last week parked up for an hour whilst waiting to go to the vets'.

Part of the Trax network, you can still stop up at Hexham, run by Racecourse now. Ladies facilities are ok, but the gents are as they were 32 years ago. They were ropey then, ropey still, but a fabulous location. Ladycross Plantation is a private site now up near Whitby.

A couple of years ago I posted a photo of the green plaques of some of the sites that had closed that we had stayed on.
It's here somewhere but I cannot find it.
From memory there were Ribby Hall Preston, Hawkhill Camp overlooking Dover, Ardgartan, Scotland, Port William, Scotland. Might have been a few more
Ladycross and Braithwaite Fold
