Exclusive to Members
Certificated Locations are for the exclusive use of Caravan Club members only, and can take a maximum of five caravans at any time for recreational and short-stay use.
Please do not ask CL owners to:
- Let you stay longer than 28 consecutive days
- Keep your van unoccupied on the CL, even for a day or two, as 'storage' requires planning permission.
General guidelines
Arrival times: please liaise with the CL owner as to the arrival time. If delayed, please phone ahead as a matter of courtsey and to avoid the risk of losing your pitch.
Cancellations: always phone if you have to cancel, and remember, cancelled bookings or failure to honour a booking may result in a claim for full payment instead of just losing the deposit.
On Arrival: please show your membership card.
Additional visitors: additions to the basic group may attract incremental charges at the discretion of the CL owner. Once again, it is best to check beforehand.
Vacation of pitches: pitches are normally to be vacated by 12 noon, unless previously agreed with the CL owner.
Behaviour: as a guest, please respect the owner's privacy and follow the Caravan and Country Codes (see the Handbook section). Check with your host if you wish to entertain visitors.
Children: please ensure they are supervised, especially on farms. If the children wish to look around, always ask the CL owner's permission first. If children touch farm animals, please ensure that they wash their hands immediately. Similar precautions should be taken after contact with animal droppings (including cleaning clothes, shoes and other items) as a precaution against infection by E coli.
Dogs: please be a responsible dog owner. Always keep your dog on a lead and don't forget to clear up after them. Remember too, that the owner may have working dogs.
Electric points: You should check the amperage supplied as it can be as low as 5 amp.
Farms: visitors to farm CLs should expect to encounter farm animals and you are advised to take care in approaching them, having first checked with the CL owner.
Generators: before using a generator first seek the CL owner's permission and then consider others on site as well as any neighbours, do not use late at night or early morning.
Rules: CL site rules are decided by the owners and may differ from those applied on Club Sites. It is the member's responsibility to ensure their family and visitors comply with all site rules remembering they will have been devised with their enjoyment and safety in mind. The landowner has the right to ask a member to leave.
Safety: CL owners have a general duty to take reasonable measures for the safety of their visitors. Members should nevertheless exercise care on CLs and have regard for potential hazards particularly if accompanied by children. Whilst Club CL Advisers visit CLs annually, their main purpose is to check that certificate conditions are being complied with. Obvious safety concerns will be drawn to the owner's attention to rectify but The Club cannot accept responsibility for accidents occurring on CLs.
