People could continue to add links to this thread and they would just be copied from here to the locked thread. The problem with having an open thread is that it can go off topic and make it difficult to follow.

Indeed. I am thinking of restarting my “ Little Black Book of Sites”. I might see if I can have a go at making a list via the spreadsheet app for iPad, but given most of my previous bungled efforts, it is a distinct possibility it might not happen.

Here’s another addition that some might like, we stayed here years ago, back when it was a CL. It left the network, but looks as though the next generation is now involved and it looks to have undergone some updates. We loved the tranquility and location, it is a place we often remember, and it is very special. A proper campsite, a world away from most Club Sites of today, so you’ll either love it, or not like it!😁

Mutts £2 a day and you can use the fire pits provided but you've to buy the wood from them? 🤔

It is what it is MM, the location is simply stunning, the basic price for two adults isn’t huge, and using their fuel possibly means old painted rubbish isn’t burnt and sending up smoke signals across to Wales! It won’t appeal in any way to Club Site lovers, it’s not that kind of place. I would also add that it’s truly magical if nearly empty, but very different (and not for us) on a BH.

Think Guardian readers experiencing “the dream”😂

Not all Guardian readers dream of such places! Not my cup of tea. The idea of fire pits would put me off straight away! Having been smoked like a kipper on a few sites abroad I am just glad the Club don't allow such things.

Just a quick note about my earlier suggestion of Hawthorne Cottage near Coleford. It really is a very nice site, AO, backing right on to the forest. Easy access from either Coleford or Lydney, through the village of Sling to Clements End. Final drive in needs a tiny bit of care but no great problem.  Just 10 pitches, a bit slopey at the top end and you'd definitely need a mover to get on to some of them.  Basic toilet/shower block, but perfectly clean and useable  (20p for a long hot shower!), due, we were told to be replaced for next year. TV reception is a bit dodgy, but you can hire a free sat box for £1 a day if that's important to you.  Loads of walks within a very short drive away.  Very friendly owner and at just £14 a night for pitch + 2, great value. 

And while we were in the area I recalled this lovely little site which we stayed at a couple of years back  near the village of Skenfrith, ideal for the Wye Valley area.

Could a Mod please make this a sticky, as there will be CT members who would no doubt wish to visit some of these sites and it's hard enough at the moment to find this post, and will only get harder as more post are added.
