we are members of the camping and caravan club, have stayed on a few club sites which have been wonderful sites, although a bit pricier than an equivelent non club site.  but that has been more than made for by attending the DA rallies, nice and inexpensive and enjoyable weekends there

A few years ago we joined both clubs but decided to stay with the Caravan Club because you can choose your own pitch, where as with the Camping and Caravan Club we were shown to a particular pitch.  Both clubs have excellent sites and facilities.

Ray.

We members of both. Ths camp and caravan club I cannot fault. Yes you get shown to your pitch but most managers will try their best to accomodate your needs and will give a choice if you ask. We recently went with a group needing 5 pitches and the manager gave us several options. We have used many of their sites with kids dogs and bikes and always find them accomodating (we have a v large unit too). We like the space and the rules like noise at 11 and no cars before 7, Deffinatly the friendly club.

The caravan club do not charge a deposit and you find they get booked up early and people cancel at the last minute as they dont loose money (that said the c&cc hold the deposit on account for you so you dont actually loose it). We have struggled to book most of the busy school hols yet c&cc have always had spaces. Their sites are equally well equipped and rules simmilar although when staying with friends found the children playing and being a bit boistrous caused a few frowns. We tend to find people in caravans are comfy in their own spaces and zip up the old awning and that is it. Tenters and tts seem to socialise more. Please dont all have a go at me I am only sharing my experiences and I have met some very friendly caravanners but generally on c&cc sites. It all depends what sort of a hol you enjoy I suppose.
