I have been searching the web for what seems like days for caravan sites that don't want to charge me for every individual thing, adults, kids, dogs, awnings, scratching ones whatsit!! I have looked on the CC website but can't get my head around the pricing stucture (I am so dense I know) can anyone tell me what a CS and a CL is?

So far I have gleened that CC sites tend to have cleaner/better facilities (just stayed at a c&cc site that was old and minging)

All I want is a site with toilet/shower facilities around the cheshire and Telford area that isn't going to cost a bomb - is this possible? kinda losing hope.

Can all you seasons caravaners give me a nudge in the right direction.

We are not into rallies and gathering much prefer to do our own thing (read miserable b*ggers )

Huge thanks in advance

 A site for hoe many people and when?  I am assuming two adults and would suggest that Lady margarets CC site at Chirk is a pleasant place that is typical of CC sites, cost would be £18.10 per night before Sept 4th and then 14.10 until OCT 2nd, then 13.10 until Oct 23rd and then 12.20 for the rest of the winter. It is a very popular site but there are still vacancies in August more in September and October is relatively untouched.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013

It all seems a much of a muchness if you know what i mean. All the C&CC sites we have been to have been great. CC sites too. They both have thier advantages. We have just taken out Mayday breakdown cover with CC which was a bargain. I understand they are helpful if you have problems too. Good luck in your choice.

We get our Mayday cover through them. The saving on that nearly covers the membership, we went to Crich recently and got BOGOF with the CC membership cards so it's paid for itself this year without needing to camp with them.

Great deal

I have read on another forum that the CL's are in decline and that more CL's are closing each month - is there any truth in this??

I don't think they are in decline, but there are closures for various reasons....change of ownership, lack of use, breach of conditions etc.  There are also new ones opening every month.  With about 3000 (I think) on the list, there are still plenty to choose from.

That could well be the case..

In the July issue of the club magazine 11 cl's shut and 11 new ones came into the network.

In the August magazine, 28cl's shut and 8 new came into the network.

Of the 28 shut in August the reasons given were Not financially viable 11.

Commercial licence 4. Change of owner 5.Retirement 2. Not known 3. Miscellaneous 2. Ill health 1.

On a CC site the price is fairly easy to work out, it's just the pitch plus so much per head.  Children under 5 are free.

If you are a caravan club member then Thornleigh Park Farm CL at Chester has ehu, showers and loos for £8 per night and it's fine.
