CLUB ACQUIRES NOTTINGHAMSHIRE CAMPSITE
The Camping and Caravanning Club has acquired Thornton's Holt Camping Park, a 13.5-acre campsite near Nottingham. The site, which can accommodate up to 175 campervans, motorhomes, caravans and tents, has been owned by the same family for over three decades.
With its eco-friendly features such as solar water heating and rainwater harvesting systems, Thornton's Holt is an attractive addition to the Club's network.
Sabina Voysey, the C&CC Director General said the Club aims to build on the success created by previous owners, Polly and Simon Jones.
Following its temporary closure for refurbishment work after being officially handed over on 1 November, Thornton’s Holt will reopen in the coming weeks under the new name of the Nottingham Club site.
