9. Alan Rogers Unique Campsite Award

This award acknowledges sites with unique, outstanding features – something which simply cannot be found elsewhere and which is an important attraction of the site.

WINNER

RUNNERS UP

Kawan Village La Ferme des Aulnes (FR80070), Nampont St Martin, France

A popular small site with some really creative and innovative ideas, such as indoor archery and a cosy piano bar. All the main facilities have been developed around the courtyard of a 17th century farm. The friendly owners seem always to be able to find new ways to ensure the success of their customers’ holidays.

Exe Valley Caravan Site (UK1590), England

This site boasts several unique features, centered around the use of water. Every pitch is set besides running water and there are many opportunities for bird and otter watching. But the really unique feature is the watermill which is still working after 400 years and which can be visited by campers.

10. Alan Rogers Family Site Award

Many sites claim to be family friendly but this award acknowledges the sites we feel to be the very best in this respect.

12. Alan Rogers Special Award

A special award is made to acknowledge site which we feel have overcome significant setbacks and have not only returned to their former condition, but can actually be considered to be better than before. In 2007 we wish to acknowledge 2 campsites which, we feel, fall into this category and have impressed us with their recoveries.
