Pretty much endorse what's said above.
We're in both clubs but tend to mostly use C&MH sites. Can see what RP means about regimentation - there's a correct way to park your 'van reversed against a pitch marker with car to left as you face it and awning on right. That works fine for UK caravans but can be an issue if you've got a Hobby or one of the other mainland Europe brands where door is on other side. We like the main sites and have never felt constrained by the regs.
Both clubs have their share of people who can't follow simple rules and others who want every regulation followed to last dotted i and crossed t. If you look on their forums or Facebook groups there are pages of discussion about 'unfairness' where people arrive early or leave late. Even on the club sites provision of toilets is not universal. A lot of people are OK using the caravan loo for a wee in the night but are squeamish about using it for a poo.
I think if you're using the caravan mostly for dog events or following trains then the best club will be the one which has sites near venues you want to visit. CL's are a good tip but they vary from a field with a tap and a loo to places that are nearly as well equipped as the main sites. Not all CL's have electric hookups and of those that do not all provide the full 16amps.
