WHAT ARE CL AND CS SITES?

A CS site is a Camping and Caravan Club 'Certified campsite' (CS)

A CL site is a Motorhome and Caravan Club (previously known as The Caravan Club) 'Certified Location' (CL) campsite

What this means is that the campsite is privately ran site by a Farm/Landowner, however, as it meets certain standards of the Club it's 'recognised' and therefore able to advertise as such.

This is great for the campsite owners - as there is often a lot of recognition and reassurance of the type of quality and experience you'd expect to get from a either of these clubs - so being recognised as part of this means that people will be more likely to stay as they know what they're going to get.

These sites are often a lot smaller than the main certified sites (some only having 5 pitches), and some may have limited facilities.

It is always recommend to phone ahead/book in advance due to the limited spaces.

Members and non-members can stay.

Like other privately ran farms/Campsites CS/CL Sites occasionally also have land available to 'hire' for Temporary Holiday sites (THS)/Club meets/Rallies or as I like to call them 'pop up campsites'. These often do not have facilities and you can learn more about these here or here.

PACKING: CLOTHES FOR EVERY OCCASION

By When We Wander • June 11, 2022

MY MUST HAVE ITEMS FOR EVERY OCCASION! This obviously depends on how long you're going for, where you're going and what you're planning on doing whilst there – but as I'm an overthinker I always tend to pack for almost every occasion possible. And because I'm small, and my clothes are small - I can usually do this without taking up too much space... So below is a list of the clothes I tend to always pack and why... and by always I mean, whatever trip we go on, whatever the season, UK or abroad, 2 nights or 10nights - you can guarantee I'll have the below with me as long as space allows, along with some top tips too!

LOCAL WALK TIPS

By Freddie Pf • February 27, 2022

There are lots of various apps available to download that can help suggest, direct, and track routes. However - do bear in mind that some apps/maps will be useless when you lose signal, or run out of battery. Therefore, if you are venturing a long way from home we always recommend downloading any maps you may need and taking phone battery charges with you - or even better - go old school and take an actual paper map! Some of the apps we use are: OS maps – as this is really good at showing footpaths and routes that aren't clear on google Google maps Kamoot and All Trails. These last two apps work by you putting in your location - or the location you are intending to start from, and it brings up walks in that area. They are also 'user based' apps - which means some routes are 'official walks' where as others are random submissions from fellow walkers. This means you can find some right gems that you possibly wouldn't of found otherwise - however, some routes are also better than others. We have recently set up an account on All Trails, just search for "When We Wander' and our walks will come up.
