We have become a little guilty of re-visiting campsites - we've been to the Chertsey Camping and Caravanning Club Site three times, the Chichester Camping and Caravanning Club Site twice and now we have been to the Morn Hill Caravan Club site three times.
Morn Hill seems to be our default place to go for a one night stay in the Cali. There are several reasons for this I think:
When we arrived the site was full - this was the first time I've seen that sign outside (thank goodness we booked) and so instead of being able to choose a pitch we were shown which pitch was ours and this time it was in the lower section of the site. We hadn't actually stayed in that part before so it was like a new adventure (sort of) !
Morn Hill seems to be our default place to go for a one night stay in the Cali. There are several reasons for this I think:
- In our experience so far the Caravan Club sites don't seem to have the two-night minimum stay rule at the weekend (unlike the Camping and Caravanning Club sites)
- It's not too far from home, this is especially important in Friday afternoon rush hour traffic
- It's relatively inexpensive in comparison to some other places in the area
- The site is open and airy with lots of lovely grass

The fish and chip van was parked up there as well and I remember seeing the sign for it during our last visit but had totally forgotten and it would have been perfect for our dinner that night (and avoided a detour to the supermarket) but we decided to be a bit healthier and eat the food we had brought with us.
As it was nice and warm we also managed to sit outside for a while and say hello to a few other people around us. The dogs enjoyed a bit of fresh air too.
I love how quickly we can be parked up and ready for the night especially in these summer months. If there's no rain forecast we don't bother with the Cali topper and we also find nowadays that we don't need to roll the awning out for a one night stay, unless by some miracle the sun is beating down on us and we need to shelter from it (a rarity in the UK!)
We did make a pact though that we need to explore new campsites and places to stop for the night - there is too much to explore for us to continue being creatures of habit like this!
