Thanks it was nice to be out in the caravan, we did have 3 weeks in Scotland in September but still have videos to edit yet, I didn't film any other footage I did Matlock, Matlock bath, Cromford mill & canal when we visited the site a couple of years ago so videos are on the channel - glad you enjoyed the French videos - thanks for watching 👍
I priced up getting a caravan for weekend trips with the Mrs. £800 to get tow hitch on the car and £7000 for a caravan that wasn't ancient or a shed. At 40 quid a night on campsites vs £80 for a hotel with pools ect or less if you go the B&B route it just didn't make sense.
Let’s hope the club doesn’t spoil this lovely site. They have a habit of squeezing pitches in any available spaces they can find. We loved our stay here back in March 2020 despite lockdown being announced whilst we were here. It’s a top site 👍. Nice to see the aerial view Andrew and great to see you both back in the caravan, happy touring. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀
Yes it was nice to be away in the caravan even though the weather wasn't great. I can imagine in the future those lovely open grass areas will have the freedom experience pods and cabins on, hope they keep the vast amount of privacy hedges & don't chop them down to save on maintenance costs Etc, Would be interesting to go back in a couple of years time to see how things have changed, thanks for watching 👍
We stopped using camc sites last year, and haven't renewed our membership this year as we can find lots of independent and farm sites offer as much facilities sometimes more for less money and no membership fee.
It's a lovely site with very large spacious pitches hope they don't change it to much. We haven't been away much in caravan this year due to holiday plans we went to Scotland & mostly used independent sites up there which were cheaper. Thanks for watching
Seems a lovely site but no doubt the CAMC will revamp it into their style and put the prices up even more. Site prices are now so expensive to what they were even 2 years ago. For all we still use the clubs now and then we are using private sites more and more, more facilities for less money.

We actually use independent sites more now, thought we would go back to Lickpenny as it's been purchased by the club just to see if anything has changed and to use the free night voucher, thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for another great video. We were members of both the CCC and CAMC for over 15 years but have not renewed our CCC membership this year because we never use their sites or member services anymore. I'm only staying with the CAMC for their CL's. CAMC and CCC used to offer good discounts on ferry crossings to France too but, it's cheaper to book directly with the ferry company now. I went to Lickpenny some years ago and loved it but, I just won't pay CAMC site prices when I can get 28 nights on a huge fully serviced pitch in Normandy, France using my ACSI card, for less than £500.

We haven't been away much in caravan this year due to holiday plans we went to Scotland & mostly used independent sites up there which were cheaper. Were members of both clubs not sure if we will still be next time they are due for renewal - Thanks for watching
Yes if you have seen our French video we went to France for 3 weeks without caravan back in May - stopped in mobile homes total cost of the holiday including ferry to St Malo and back with cabin was less than £1200 - We would certainly do the same again - Thanks for watching
Hi Andrew. Looks a nice site. Suppose now it's a club site the price the price will increase. Might give it a go to use the free night. We mostly use independent site's now find them better value for money. I suppose with electricity wages Ect increaseing it's a sign of the times. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Andrew & Karen we have booked this site for next year,we were looking at going this year but it had closed,good its been taken on again. Hope to see you out and about soon.
I know the campsites have overheads, increases in energy costs ETC. We haven't been away much in caravan this year due to holiday plans we went to Scotland & mostly used independent sites up there which were cheaper. Thanks for watching
Hello. We're booking that site nxt year we only use caravan club sites we're off tomorrow to one of our favourite sites Lady Margarets Park chirk. No issues with club sites and they don't allow drones. X
Yes it's a lovely site with very large spacious pitches hope they don't change it to much. Just love the Drone Police, I have the full licence for flying the drone, the drone is under 250 grams & can be flown anywhere as long as it's not above a large gathering of people, I am a considerate drone flyer would not have flown it if there were more units on site, the drone was always above our pitch area so no danger to anyone or any other persons unit, the air space belongs to CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) - Thanks for watching
CAMC sites are far too expensive now. Private sites have the same, if not better facilities for far less than CAMC. They have list thousands of members lately, it was the members club, but now its a money making buisiness.
Sold caravan because sites have become too expensive not only with the CMHC Club but in general. Thought we would go back to camping but even those prices in places are extortionate. Could not believe it when in Cornwall few weeks ago found a caravan site that charged during summer school holidays. £105.00 per night for caravan pitch. It’s a shame but you can pick up a Travel Lodge for £25 a night for two people. A I did last week in Cirencester. Ok you cannot cook in those but you can certainly eat out for the same price as a night with CMHC.
It's certainly not a cheap hobby now especially when you factor in the price of Caravan, Tow vechicle, fuel ETC - That's why we decided to do 3 weeks in France without caravan staying in Mobile homes on 3 different sites worked out cheaper than taking caravan across it was less than £1200 including ferry to St Malo & back with Cabin both ways
It’s getting so expensive for sites these days, hope they don’t price themselves too far out of the market that people will stop joining and paying for a pitch….
I'm sorry but if you think the alternative to the camc is a muddy farmers field you can't have looked far. There's loads of farms that have hardstanding and modern shower blocks, and landscaped atractive sites. Including electric hookup, and the best thing no arsey attitude from wardens who seem to forget they're part of hospitality industry.
Actually theres a lot of private / independent sites with better modern facilities, they don't charge per person all the occupants are in with the pitch price and a lot cheaper than than both the clubs, I personally think both clubs are now very expensive and only use them occasionally 👍
I understand the costs involved running these sites, but the prices are becoming ridiculous compared to the near continent. We will probably drop our CCC membership next year, remaining with the CAMC as we have our van insurance with them, like their CL sites, and also use Abbey Wood if visiting London (great location, close to the Elizabeth Line for quick travel into the centre). Private sites are offering more services for less money, which is sad for the site wardens who do an amazing job on the club sites.

Thank You 👍
Great to see you back in your caravan, we're looking forward to the Matlock & Matlock Bath film.
We both enjoyed watching your films from France.
Thanks it was nice to be out in the caravan, we did have 3 weeks in Scotland in September but still have videos to edit yet, I didn't film any other footage I did Matlock, Matlock bath, Cromford mill & canal when we visited the site a couple of years ago so videos are on the channel - glad you enjoyed the French videos - thanks for watching 👍
@@andrew-karens-adventures We'll can't wait to see your Scotland films, cheers Andrew

I’m with you on the aqua roll Andrew, I always use it even on a serviced pitch, I don’t like the idea of direct to the caravan,
Love the channel
Tom
At least if there's an issue outside the caravan it stays outside the caravan + I'm too tight to buy the hose LOL 🤣😂🤣
@@andrew-karens-adventures my thoughts exactly and as a fellow Yorkshire man, I concur with the cost as well 🤣🤣🤣

We don’t use club site as much now they got too expensive for what they are member for 25 year caravaning since 1974 but still use CL sites

Campsite prices in the UK are a rip off compared to France Spain etc, we very rarely use UK campsites anymore.

I have stopped touring now it's cheaper and more convenient to put it on a seasonal pitch.
Yes it is a cheaper option but we like to tour and explore different places so touring suits us at the moment - Thanks for watching

Totally agree with you, only went to get our free night & saved £42.40 👍

CMHC sites are great, you get what you pay for. If you are happy to take your caravan to a muddy farmers field go for it, I'd rather pay a bit more.

@Fellwalker12487 I totally agree with you, we have stopped at some fantastic private & independent sites cheaper than both the clubs 👍
Would love to go but, rang 3 times nobody answer the phone and left 3 messages nobody rang us back. also emailed again nobody got back to us…..
Are you a member of caravan & motorhome club as they have taken it over , if you are you can book on there web site
yes I am and when I contacted them you had to ring you couldn’t book online,
We booked our pitch online using the caravan and motorhomes club web site, think it had only just been added to the web site though
I understand the costs involved running these sites, but the prices are becoming ridiculous compared to the near continent.

Not a member no more ..they far to expensive…we find a lot of sites on google maps hell of a lot cheaper & can have camp fires …cheers Chris & Sammy
Stopped using these types of site to expensive and to many rules
Pitch up sites always 15/25 £ per night far better
