Hi All, Apoligies if this has been raised before but couldn't find any previous threads on the topic..

Whilst carrying out my usual serch for the perfect CL in the Perfect location etc, one thing stuck me that hasn't jumped out at me before - The large number of CL's that seem to be "Adults Only".

We are the usual family ( 2 Adults, 2 kids and a dog ) and find it annoying that when I find the "perfect" CL, I look down the listing and discover the dreaded adults only logo!

Now I realise that its all down to the owners discretion and fully respect that - but we enjoy the smaller "non commercial" sites as much as our fellow CL users and aren't keen on paying the hiked club site fees.

It just seems that the CL lifestyle isn't pitched towards the family unit.. We all love the club and pay our fees but if the increasing trend for Adults only increases then we'll have to re-think the membership fees.

As a side note - We've discovered DA camping and rallying over the past few years and while its great, we just love the seclusion that CL's bring

Many Thanks,

Ian - "Still searching!"

Write your comments here...I make a point of not going to sites, CL or commercial that charge for dogs, unless of course they supply amenities for dogs, wash down showers,adventure parks etc.,

We use cl's as we find them quieter. Our dog is quite nervous and wouldn't settle with children playing outside. We have only encountered children once on a cl. On that occasion they were out playing at 8am. Quite understandable with the weather and very healthy. However, they did wake us up. If there were more children on cls we would definitely search for adult only. Not because we dont like children but becuse we have different requirements to young families. As it is surely the cl network caters for everyone, some are AO some are no dogs. Surely havong the choice is a positive.

Cl's are great, there are many more who accept families than AO. Gives everybody a great choice of locations.

We were on a site in Cheshire a few years ago. It was a really large field and we were in one corner, the only caravan on the site. A couple days of after we arrived another van pitched up as far away from us as it was possible to be. The couple had two grandchildren with them who spent most of the time playing football. They were very considerate towards their grandparents as they played the entire time beside our caravan. Response from the adults when we asked if the children could play near their van is unprintable. That is why we prefer adult only sites. I just wish there were more.
