Non member thought whilst researching

Try joining the CC and find out more! 

Sorry i keep clicking the wrong button! Some CL's have a presence on facebook and their own websites where you can get more information and see reviews from other members. Worth checking out there first, you'll find a great selection of lovely sites, I think you'll see it's worth joining up to access them.

UK Campsites has reviews of all sorts of sites.

Quick post on the way out for a nice walk, 

Yes we are very very interested in using cl's or the C&cc equivalent I'm not joining both clubs and it is looking like we will join the CC, I have concerns regarding access roads.

As a CL owner do you give the road into your site a description?

And as a ps on another post you made re price, with electric I don't think £15 is too much.

As CLs can only be used by members, presumably that is why you cannot access the details on the CC website.

As far as access roads are concerned, some CL owners give descriptions, others don't.  The only thing you can do, which I've done before now, is to ring the relevant CL owner and ask - once you've become a member!

Whether this is correct or not I'm not sure but feel the need to post/point this out.

We are looking into using CL's and before parting with money, ask the wife how difficult that is, I'm researching as best I can.

I understand the need for a differential between members and non members but it's nothing more than tedious to not being able to click the "read more" tab once looking at a specific site, all I'm doing is opening a second Internet window and entering the CL details in Google to gain a review.

Wouldn't it be better to allow non members to gain "in house" reviews??????

you can read some reviews for certain CLs, if they are listed on UKcampsites. So this should help. CLs vary greatly, that is their very nature and what makes them so attractive to a lot of CC members. We have used them for 30 plus years, with no problems. I would recommend you join, and then if you fancy a CL, talk to the owners, ask about it on here, or take a look on Google Earth. If you do a bit of research, then you are less likely to encounter any issues. Only you know what your needs and preferences are, so hard to post a definitive answer. CLs are member only, so pay the small annual fee and get access to hundreds of lovely places is my advice.

I agree with TDA. 

It's (probably) only the CL network that keeps me in the club these days.

I appreciate that everyone's finances are different but I think that the subscription of either club is well worth it just for the ability to access the network of CLs and CS's.  We joined the C&CC just to use one particular CS which is absolutely wonderful and bearing in mind we go there two or three times a year it isn't a lot for the privelege of using that site.  Same goes for CLs.

Didn't think about Facebook will have a look there too thanks.

I have concerns regarding access roads.

What sort of concerns?  They all have access suitable for caravans though, as everywhere, those who choose to have larger than usual outfits should also choose to have greater skills. As many CLs (and CSs as well) are in fields, the degree of any slope is a greater concern.
