Types of CLs

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?

We haven't taken delivery of our MH yet but when we do I can see us mainly using CL's because we prefer the less commercial rural theme they seem to have.

When we do book we'll defiantly want EHU, Dog friendly, a toilet block, peace & quite. As a secondary importance we'd want public transport nearby, a rural setting, good T/V reception and a local Pub. 

Not too big a wish list is it.

Should be fun searching then out FB.Wink If you have anywhere in mind don't hesitste to ask and some of us will be able to help you. I'd definitely add Hardstanding to your list, at least at the beginning.

Quiet and rural but mainly the choice is about location.  Great if it has all facilities but useless if in the wrong location!

Hardstanding NOT wanted!  IMHO they spoil what is essentially a rural experience.  I accept that in the dead of winter when its been very wet, they have their uses. But if a HS is essential for you, then stick to a CC site.

The provision of HS must put up the cost to the site owner, which in turn means to us.  I will even accept for short stays no EHU, but do prefer them.

We very rarely use club sites prefering CLs. But we have got fussier over the years wishing for: EHU, views, hopefully reasonably flat pitches as the air awning doesn't like sloping ground.

Well, that just goes to show what a diverse bunch we are Sticking Tongue Out

It's the opposite for us: with a MH we definitely want HS in the wetter months; one reason is that we'd hate to damage any grass on a site/CL, and the other of course that we wouldn't want to get bogged down.  Even in summer, if it's been wet, then grass would not be our first choice.  As for EHU, even in winter, with solar panels it's not a necessity for a few days.  In summer, most definitely no EHU needed!

At the end of the day it's just as well we're not all the same in our needs/wants.
