I know a few members are like us and mix in a few none Club Sites into a tour. Thought I would open up a thread for folks to post website links to any nice sites they come across, that might interest others.

This one to start with http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk/camping-caravan-sites-cirencester-glos.html

Just off A433 few miles from Cirencester, so ideal for Cotswolds area. Plenty to see and do in area, Pub is nice for food.

Moderator Edit:

This thread is for posting links and/or reviews. Please don't use it to discuss the merits, or otherwise, of other people's choices.

Thank You.

A nice site convenient for Malmesbury and other North Wiltshire and South Cotswold locations is Burton Hill Park on the outskirts of Malmesbury itself.

That site looks very familiar, M. Do you know if it’s changed its name in recent years? I have the word Tower in my mind in connection with it.

Well, it's been Burton Hill as long as we've known it, but I've a friend who has lived in Malmesbury for 40 years so I'll check with her.

I could be completely confused, of course. It’s been known🤪

This is another very unusual site in your area Corners. Very different, we loved our few nights here, as it’s very much the sort of place that appeals to us. Well organised, wasn’t too busy when we stayed, but popular with campers. Camping field is separate from van/MH field.

Well as far as I could see there had been no criticism of prices - only a bit of clarification about one site's website - and certainly no mention of dogs or children before your post so I did have to wonder what your motivation was!

Still, time to move on I think - do you have any UK Sites to offer as a positive contribution to the thread?

Yes, it’s a wonderfully individual place. I think it has featured in Guardian and Telegraph under best campsites.

Hope thread is proving useful, I have noted a few examples down, sometimes it’s nice to visit somewhere run very differently, and they compliment CLs well. 😁

There's still availability at many popular UK Club campsites - find your perfect pitch today for a last minute trip!
