🚐 What is a CL? 🚐
We often get asked or see posts asking ‘what exactly is a CL’ so here’s a little explanation 😊
A CL (Certificated Location) is a small, often peaceful caravan and motorhome site, all are independent owned and unique. Usually limited to just 5 vans, at any one time, which means they offer a much quieter and more relaxed experience than larger holiday parks.
We are part of the Caravan and Motorhome Club network, available exclusively for CAMC members.
CLs are perfect for people who enjoy
✔️ Quiter breaks
✔️ Exploring
✔️ Friendly personal sites
✔️ Great value for money
All CLs have:
CDP
Drinking water
Waste bins
Public liability insurance
Some like us have EHU hook ups which are subject to required safety checks
At Cherry Cottage CL you will find:
