What exactly is a CL, and how do I get on one?

[chenderson1965]

We’re relatively new to motorhoming and have had our van for a little more than a year. We’ve really enjoyed (responsible) wild/informal camping. Whilst the services on ‘proper’ campsites were convenient, we found the formality wasn’t really right for us.

We want to do some short trips over the winter in the UK (Covid restrictions permitting) and would like to try some CLs which seem like they might be easier to find than decent wild spots and less formal than campsites. We can be pretty self sufficient in our van and don’t need much in the way of services.

So, I have a couple of questions:-

- Am I right that this is what CLs are generally like (accepting that I’m sure they will vary from site to site)?
- Do I need to be a member of one or other of CMC or CCC to book them?
- The CLs I’ve seen seem to often be grass pitches and I’m nervous that our 5t, fwd van might get stuck if it gets wet. Is that an issue?

Thanks
Chris
