We are finding touring, like alot of people are as getting too expensive, and were thinking about joining one of the clubs and start going to cl's. I was looking through an old caravan club handbook and noticed that some adverts mentioned lawned pitches and others didnt. Does this mean if we go to one that dosent say lawned the grass could be a foot long?

Any thoughts would be great

The grass is usually cut/mown, sometimes on a field it is left lying around when cut and bits can get in the van but we don't find this a problem, just take a hoover (we always have ehu). I think "lawned" is just that, a mown lawn nearish the site owners house, or an old orchard, otherwise you might find a cut edge of a field. Have never experienced foot high grass. We are members of both clubs so we can use CLs/CSs, most are fine.

CL's come in all varieties some are like mini high class campsites and some basic to say the least and a lot in between. As an alternative the Caravan Club have a series of sites called 'Super Seven' they do not have toilets or showers but will have electrics and some have hardstandings all for the price of £7 a night with no extras. This is cheaper than most CL's with the same facilities. If you go onto the Caravan Club website I think you can look at them without being a member.

There are seven campsites, one in Wales and six in England. The charge is £7 a night for 2 adults and all children and it does include electrics. Extra adults do pay extra.

We haven't used a super seven yet as they are not really in areas we like unfortunately.

There is a site called which has many CLs etc, along with photographs which give a good idea of what the site will look like.  I've used this several times and the sites have all been great.
