THEY sound too good to be true - campsites with amazing views, no chance of noisy neighbours and all for less than the price of a cup of coffee. Yet for those in the know Certificated Locations or Sites - known as CL’s - can be the secret to beautiful budget camping. CL's are small campsites that can accommodate up to five caravans or motorhomes and no more than ten tents at any one time.
There are more than 3,200 of these campsites across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - available to members of The Camping and Caravanning Club and the Caravan and Motorhome Club . Joining these clubs costs from £53 and £63 a year respectively BUT SUN READERS CAN GET A DISCOUNT THIS WEEKEND OF XXX. I'D POP THIS IN THE BOX AND GET TO THE SITES MORE QUICKLY but gives you access not just to their fancy large parks, but also to these special little sites with nightly rates from just £2.
50 a night for a caravan, motorhome or tent as well as two adults and two children. While the facilities may be basic compared to the bigger parks, their secret, secluded locations make them a winner for those looking to head off the beaten path. Some are connected to farms, others local pubs, and others in stunning National Park locations.
As part of our new Best of British travel series, we’ve rounded up some of our favourites - and why you could be exploring the UK for less this summer. (Check out our video diary of our overnight stay at Little Trenarrett at the top of this article) You’ll hear not.
