I would also join a local vw club where you get to meet vw enthusiasts and the local clubs organise meets, runs and club camping at summer events. And they have a wealth of vw knowledge and know the local vw garages if needed.
I think my local VW club is full of late model Golfs that are "on air" and have tyres that are like rubber bands
You cannot beat CL sites quiet rural locations club sites are nice but most CLs only charge up to 15 pound a night all in, most club and commercial site sound like mr fiddler from carry on camping , pound for this pound for that, although it more like 5 pound for this 5 pound for that. I went to book a commercial site up, grass pitch not even main weeks with all the add ons it was 65 pound a night. I said when I enquired I only want to park up for the night, I don’t want to buy shares in the site. I dread to think what sites are charging now with staycations, I think we need a wet summer send the Spain brigade back to Spain and the sun so the camp sites will be quite once more.
I have found the Camping and Caravanning club sites I have visited have been reasonable with rules and behaviour requirements. But then I dont need to run a stereo really loud. And their Certificated Sites are always reasonable - price wise and facilities. I joined because it was a valid club for getting a 10% discount on the JK insurance I had at first.
