Dammit - I never like booking far ahead so it's my own fault really (1 Viewer)

[PaulC70]

About to have 11 nights away, decided against Ireland as too expensive, against France as just had my prostate radiotherapy 2.5 weeks before our first day away so North of England / West of Scotland/Skye it is!

Plan was though to go back to Keswick to the CCC site for a night or two to kick off the hols but all booked up, dammit!

 

[Kannon Fodda]

A lot of the C&CC Lake District sites have minimum booking periods, can be at least 3 nights. But many also very popular, hence then min nights requirement, so they can be full months in advance.

Try Coniston Hall. No booking required even in the heart of summer, handy for Coniston village and right by the lake.

If you were trying to get into Keswick CCC site then you must be members, so, what about a THS or DA meet...there's plenty to go at up north...but just be aware that it's grim up here!

Whoa.. look at prices there.
Non leccy looks reasonable.. until you notice that it per adult.... not two adults as per leccy prices.... and then extra for kids AND vehicle..

Braithwaite Fold ccc site just outside Keswick usually have spaces, nice site with a good bus service. I find ringing the site even if it shows full on the website, its worked for us in the past.

Try braithwaite site only a couple of miles from keswick, bus stop right outside the campsite, i know it's a minimum 3 nights booking, but once you are there and they have vacancies you can call in the other sites ie. keswick derwentwater and ask if they have vacancies

£28 per night with EHU for Keswick. Not bad for 2.

The CCC sites in that area at over £40 a night when I’ve looked

Think you missed my point how they trying to make out that non leccy pitchs are SO much cheaper, and then you realise it's just for one adult... extra for two adults and then even more for kids!!

OOPPS need to review.. think I posted tent prices.. sorry..

Yep for vans it’s £25.5 no EHU for 2. Still £6 pp extra though. So for a family of 4……
Still cheaper than the club sites.

That’s pretty cheap for EHU nowadays.

Not actually my usual gig to be honest, however, Keswick is one that is very close to a lovely town in a lovely part of the world where my lovely wife can have a lovely time on her lovely wee mobility scooter and then we can have some lovely beer.
It's quite........
..Lovely

But yes, we rarely use sites at all, but make exceptions usually when they're in a nice town or very close and/or we need the facilities

If you looked to book one, or two, nights at Keswick and you really want to stay there try booking for three nights.

Less than three nights usually leads to a message that there are no vacancies that match your search.

8 nights at Moffat CCC last week wanted nearly £300...£38/n. Inc leccy..... I DONT WANT LECCY but had to have it.. ( as stated many times on here my biggest gripe about club sites)..
So went litterly across the fence to The Green Frog site...
£90....£11.25/n.. no leccy..
So I am afraid this, it's the location that bumps up the price is bull shit..
Green Frog site is, maybe 10mins extra walk to center of Moffat than the CCC site and it still has shower toilet facilitys maybe not to CCC standards but how many time do we here that we have onboard facilitys So don't need all singing and dancing toilet blocks...

But they don't end up free when you wine and dine her indoors..
Cheaper to find a CAMC site.

Does it have to be Keswick? Would Kendal be any good? I've not stayed here but my owners group were here last week.

Spital Caravans | Caravan site in Kendal

Spital Caravans offers an ideal spot for caravans, campervans and motorhomes alike. Conveniently located for Kendal and the Lake District.

Less than a tenner a night in mid July!

edit - ah, no loo though. Still, for a fully serviced pitch for a night, that seems quite good to me? Bookmarked!

Idiot - that was for one night, not two

You could taxi it down not expensive then Keswick is accessible.

Yep I'm staying on a cl behind a pub. £10 for camping including water and dump facilities etc. but I spent £32 in pub last night for food and a couple of beers.

Kendal Cricket Club is £10 pn. Hard standing, no facilities, can use clubhouse. Very close to town. The high wall stops most of the road noise but some of the members can be quite happy after a few bevies.
