We are planning to tour the Wesh coast North to South next year and are looking for recommendations of CLs near to the coast. wirh good access for an 8 meter van towing a small car. Hardstanding would be nice but we do not need electrics or other facilities.

Ideas from experience are welcomed.

    Hillcrofr CL, Kilgetty is excellent. £15 a night with excellent facilities. Bus stop outside, buses to Saundersfoot, Tenby etc. Can walk from site into Saundersfoot. Shopping at Kilgetty, 1/2mile from site. Again easy walk

    I would second Hillcroft as at the time I thought it was the best site I had ever stayed on but another one that matched it is The Meadows at Bryncrug near Tywyn.

    As we live just 2 miles from North Wales, we do use Welsh CLs, and I would have helped if I could, but an 8m motorhome towing a car is a pretty large outfit for Welsh roads.

    I've been to some great CLs in Wales but my memory of them has so far been narrow lanes and gateways or tight turnings.

    Thanks Ian, perhaps I should be avoiding them then. Must admit the ones I have looked at in NW have not been that accessible. Using the Club's App I have come up with a list of 47 that claim to be suitable for motorhomes but of course the only way to check access is using OS maps and Google Maps.

    That's what stopped me recommending sites to be honest peedee, the size of your MH, and possible narrow country lanes. Not a CL, but we were recommended a lovely little private site Llaniffyn Farm, down near Gower and Swansea. Part of Premier Sites network,
    really really nice site. Spotless showers and loos. We stayed last November and only paid £15 for a serviced pitch. Likely to be a bit pricier if Summer. I have done a full review and posted photos on Caravanchat website.

    Thanks TTDA, I'm haapy to accept all recommendations and research access myself. One ot the main reasons for looking at CLs is it will be in peak season and the grandchildren will be in tow.

    As a local would not think of using such an outfit on our narrow roads. Mostly single lanes nearer B road standards once off the A470 North/South.

    Scotland is a bit like that as well Fisherman and I have always managed there. The idea is to base ourselves at three to four different locations and tour outward from those.

    Not a CL, but if you have youngsters in tow, Clubs Tredegar House site is very good. Plenty of walking , cycling and space for games adjacent, and loads to do in the area. Very good fast roads out to different places. Could be pricey depending upon time of year, but they could possibly have some economy pitches without ehu?Happy

    We are not huge fans of Club Sites, but this was nice.

    At the other end of Wales, Beddgelert Camping in the Forest remains one of the very best places to stay in the whole of GB. Pricey, but very special location.Happy

    We would love to have you but our lane has a tight bend and with your outfit would require a lot of negotiation and would be difficult. However, you could check with our neighbouring CL Llainfran as I think they could do it. We are in the most beautiful area, in Cardigan Bay between New Quay and Llangrannog, a little piece of paradise and not really 'discovered' by the masses.

    I can't add a direct link but you can copy and paste this to find us.

    Thanks GoodLife but I see Llainfran has a length restriction of 6 meters.
