Suitable for motorhomes?

If I look to book a CL the website tells me there are 2209 to choose from. If I click on "Suitable for Motorhomes" it comes down to 2183. So what does that mean?

 Do those 2183 have waste water dumping facilities - which cause such controversy on the main Club sites? Or guaranteed hard standings?  Or is there some other way which makes them "suitable"?

i don't want to buy a Motorhome and find that this Club is catering for me simply in name only.

We were on a CL last year that was on a slope, only 1 of the 5 pitches was level enough for a MH, the other 4 were ok for caravans but even then they had there back ends right down on the grass. Maybe that's why some CL's are not suitable for Mh'sundecided 

The ones I personally were not keen on (when we had a MH) were the ones that had a patch of gravel H/S but you had to drive over grass to get to it, some of them quite a far distance, ok with a decent tow car and caravan but MH no thanks.

With the right ground conditions grass is a yes, yes for me. Far better than crunchy gravel. With the forecast for the next few days I'd choose it if the option is there. If the forecast is not conducive  or the ground conditions poor then stay off. Given the above I have never had any problems driving on, over or off grass. Nor have I left a pitch worse off for my stay. Just use common sense.

Neither have I but I agree that having to drive over grass to get to a H/S isn't the best. When the weather is dry not a problem but as we don't have a crystal ball when booking you don't know what the conditions are likely to be.
