CL Sites with toilets (Delicate subject)
OK, Time for a delicate topic. With many sites not opening toilet or shower blocks, Im somewhat baffled how people are going on in caravans or motorhomes on these sites.
Ive looked at CL sites but odd though it seems, most do not appear to have the most basic thing that being a loo !
Maybe it's just me, but I find it inconceivable toilets in motorhomes or caravans would be used for anything but a convenient pee, heaven forbid anybody should tell me Im wrong ha !
Are there such a thing as CL sites with a shower and loo ?

You’re wrong! Vans have facilities that work perfectly well. Why pay tens of thousands of pounds for the LV and not use it as intended?🤷🏻♂️
Full facility CLs do exist but I get the feeling you'll be more at home on club sites but some of them are non-facility so choose with care.

Presumably using there own facilities, I am happy to use non facility sites as a number are.

Indeed there are but weather those facilities are currently open will depend on the site.

Ah ha! I can give another plug for one of our favourites then - Drake House Farm high in the hills above Clitheroe - AO, serviced HS pitches, toilet & shower, wifi included (plus awning & dogs if that applies) - fab views across the valley to Pendle Hill and plenty of walking direct from the site or a short drive away!
(No, I don't get commission by the way!

i agree about non facility sites,read what the site information says before thinking "thats a good price in a nice area" .
Some friends of ours were Wardens on a non facility site and they can tell some of the "confrontations?" they have had to deal with because some do not read the information about the sites
But then as they have said the non facility sites tend to attract real LV users ,and most are still very popular

There are lots of CLs with very nice loos and showers. However, we are in exceptional times, so you will need to check that the CL you might choose is opening them for use. Choose your area, click on the loo/shower icon, and it will show you choices for that area. I would have a good read through reviews for each CL, as these will give you an idea of how nice the loos and showers are. You will then need to check with owners that they are indeed in use, as this year some CLs are making pitches available, but some are not opening their shared facilities.
If your needs are such that you cannot manage without a loo, Club Site facilities are open with restrictions.

Why are you even discussing this in the CL section
It's what CLs are about
Go to a Club Site

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? If the OP hasn't used CLs before and is now thinking of doing so surely we should be encouraging him - it's down to personal choice whether one chooses a CL on the basis of having a toilet or not. Give the guy a bit of slack! 👍

We would pay zero interest to whether the CL/CS has or has not got toilets, we use ours and certainly in these Covid-19 times would not use any site supplied loo facility.
Bringing up children in the "terry nappy" era, without the additional challenges encountered with major illnesses in later life, nothing we might find in our caravan's toilet would phase either of us.
Using a camping loo is not going to involve anything novel mankind has not faced before and here it is dealt with very hygienically, designed explicitly for doing that job.

We opt for non facility sites wherever possible. Use our van shower on a daily basis - and obviously our loo, when ever needed, and for whatever!!
Even when on full facility Club sites we are more than likely to use our own facilities.
We havent found it straight forward booking CLs this year - so plenty of people are quite happy without loos & showers being provided.
Just give it a try.

Don't encourage him! He could well take the final pitch on CL that I wish to visit and so stop me getting on.

Just to give you some idea of the number of cl's with toilets and showers go to the header of this page and look in Uk Holidays, scroll left to Book a Certificated Location. Once the page loads leave the destination box blank, scroll down to the filter boxes and tick Electric, Showers and Toilets then click search. The result shows 573 cl's with facilities. They will all be shown in alphabetical order so for any particular area scroll back up and put in a location. You can then choose at leisure and read the site review too.
As others have said, ask the cl owner if the facilities are open

You need one of these InstaPrivy for those regular number 2 moments and keep your toilet for special occasions!

No problem, just hang it in a nearby tree and the dog poo fairy will deal with it!

Thank you all for your comments. Although I still add, apart from a pee I find it inconceivable for any other use lol
