Club site details and trial pitch availability change as sites are redeveloped; confirm the access statement for your exact site and dates before booking.
Read the access statement before the brochure
The Caravan and Motorhome Club publishes a detailed access statement for every one of its 150 UK Club sites across England, Scotland and Wales, covering slopes, door widths, floor surfaces and the accessible bathrooms on each site. Over half of its pitches are all-weather hardstanding, which suits wheelchairs and mobility scooters as well as caravans. Every Club-owned campsite with washroom facilities has an accessible bathroom reached with a radar key, and over 25 sites now have an inclusive bathroom: a private room where a friend or family member can accompany someone who needs support, separate from the shared facilities. Ask for the access statement for your exact site, not the network summary, and check the washroom block's distance from the pitch you are offered.
Pitch types and what to request
The Club is trialling mobility-friendly pitch types at three locations: accessible hardstanding and accessible serviced pitches, both with awning and electric and easy access to the facilities block, built as a reinforced grid, with the serviced version adding drinking water and drainage. Sandringham Estate has one of each type, Bridlington has one accessible hardstanding pitch, and Black Horse Farm has one accessible hardstanding pitch plus one ensuite serviced pitch with awning. On other sites, staff can reserve a pitch near a service point or the facility block; request it under Special requests in the online booking system or by calling the site directly. If you do not need a Club site, directory listings such as Premier Parks filter for wheelchair-friendly facilities, but their site pages vary in detail, so apply the same four checks: pitch surface, washroom distance, access statement, and a named contact.
Washrooms, dogs and the small print
Most Club facility blocks also offer an ambulant shower and toilet in the main male and female blocks, and the majority of accessible bathrooms are colostomy friendly, though a few older blocks are not, because a shelf could not be added. Incontinence bins are provided in accessible, inclusive and family bathrooms and in the ambulant WC on each site. Guide dogs and assistance dogs, including trainees, are welcome in reception areas, shower blocks, bars, restaurants and serviced accommodation. Site staff are trained in Hidden Disabilities Sunflower support and the organisation became Dementia Friendly in 2025. If you need oxygen or other medical supplies delivered, you must be on site to accept the delivery and arrange collection before departure.
Booking routine
Pick three sites, read each access statement, then phone your first choice and ask for a pitch near the facility block, the exact washroom arrangement, and whether an inclusive bathroom is available if you need a companion's help. Book the accessible pitch type by name at the three trial sites, since there is only one of each type per site. Confirm in writing what was reserved, and ask what happens if your pitch is waterlogged or the washroom block is closed for cleaning. The difference between a good trip and a miserable one is rarely the view; it is whether the pitch, the washroom and the walk between them were confirmed before you left home.
