One thing to remember, motorhomes can be very big and very heavy. You may want to put a road through so they don't chew up the field

Good point but we already take Combines and very large Tractors through there

Thats OK then, I just know the mess that can happen very quickly

 

No tents? And showing my ignorance...what is CS/CL?

I have family that live in Suffolk and would love to be able to camp near them but on a strict budget it's impossible

No Tents? - we would have a lot of problems getting Planning for a shower block. Caravans and Motorhomes are pretty well self contained

What is a CS/CL? These are Certifeied Sites and Certified Locations and are run by the Caravan Club and the Camping&Caravan Club, I forget which term applies to which Club.

I'd pay £30 - £35 a night for my main holiday if a campsite could offer me things I couldn't get elsewhere.


I agree with wisaacs here. If it's a good site and tick the boxes, in the right location then we tend to pay the fee. £35 would be towards the top end of our budget. We wouldn't give a £40 site a second glance, I'm afraid.

The Caravan Club has CLs, the Camping and Caravanning Club has Certificated Sites, very similar except CSs (usually) accomodate tents as well as caravans.

Basic facilities are listed here.     Many, for example, are own sanitation essential, may or may not have EHU etc., but most are reasonably priced.

Please don't dismiss the idea of having a CS and therfore being able to accept tents.

Not all campers want or need a shower block.
If you are prepared to use a no facilities site (ie: one that stipulates own san ess), then generally a camper will already have the correct equipment to enable them use such a site.

Ignorance again..(I'm so sorry) would I have to join the caravan and camping club to go on these sites?

And as long as there's a toilet and cold water (that you can drink) we don't need anything else while camping!! We're a pretty hardy lot lol

I definitely don't have lots of disposable income.  I work full time in a stressful job and my husband is self employed and works all hours so our holiday time is very precious to us.  We spend hardly anything on going out, don't have big screen tvs (ours isn't even flat screen) or the latest gadgets, we hate shopping (so no bags, shoes or loads of clothes for us) and we have no children.  We just want to have a great holiday for 2 weeks a year (and don't go abroad - just camping in the UK). 

Therefore I'm prepared to pay a bit over the odds for a 'special' campsite.  Even £30 a night is cheaper than a cottage or sometime even a static van at the time of year we go.

Fully appreciate that people who go camping every weekend or lots of time during the year or who are on a tight budget due to having a family might find £30 too much but I think there's room for all sorts of sites for all sorts of people.

Just wanted to explain that we are in no way rich :)
