They come in all sorts of guises but which do you prefer?  My preference is for rural perhaps farm sites.  I don't want toilets and showers or even electric hook up.  I like them clean and most importantly, dog poo free.  Due to my low maintenance list, I also like them cheap.  What's your bag?

I like electric, toilets and a shower but can live without either, I also like rural farm sites but where it lacks in dog poo its made up by sheep and any other poo especially on the entrance/exit road. One CL in north Wales had its entrance road shared with a field full of sheep, the car and caravan was lathered.

On saying that 90% of my caravanning is on CL sites.

Must have hard standing, good size shower block, obviously electric, with enough amps to run the microwave. Hmmmm thats probably why we usually stick to CC sites.

We like all kinds of CLs, but especially farm based ones. Happy to go with a reasonable price, (£18 and under) depending upon facilities provided and location. Massive bonus if we happen to be the only ones on site!Happy

With the money we save on not using Club Sites, we eat out, a lot.  I don't see the need for a microwave and I don't understand the need for a shower block, don't you have showers installed?

Need the microwave because I am on holiday and don't want to do much cooking. Don't want to eat out too much. Yes we have a lovely van with all mod cons but we have never used the shower, why use all that water and then have to wipe it all down and clear up, when I can just go over to a hot shower, mop the floor and walk away. Each to their own. The only thing I can never understand is people on sites who say they never use the showers or toilets and than pitch really close to them.

I like to eat out because I like a rest from cooking and using CLs gives me money left over to do this.  I also like a bit of wild campingCool. Our shower is brilliant and I much prefer staying put rather than traipsing around a site with wet hair.  Each to their own I guess.

Field, tap, somewhere to empty toilet, sensible price, max 5 on site and a pub within walking distance.
