I've been using CC sites for a few years. I've had a few people ask me about the FC but only out of curiosity. I've never felt out of place or unwanted.

I joined the CC a year ago. I have stayed on a 3 CC sites and experienced no snobbery or 'being looked down on' even in my 25yo camper. In fact those who have commented have usually said very positive things about the amount of space inside and not having to make and unmake beds. I have had friendly help when it was needed without having to ask and their sites are very high quality - we are returning to one for our main holiday this summer.

I do find it a bit frustrating that they choose not to distinguish between a TT and an FC, I know it's a bit petty of me and it makes little difference in terms of suitable pitches etc, but having owned both, they are not the same!

...but my parents (who own a caravan ) are with the CC and have mentioned that they are seeing more and more folding campers when onsite ...

They aren't so common here in South Wales ! you don't even see many on the roads,just the odd one lol

we have only been on the same site as a fellow FC owner once this year !

I have just looked on CC website - my handbook is somewhere but i couldnt locate it quickly. I cannot remember if the club expresses it as a 6m rule, but certainly they require a fire gap between pitches and the pitches I have so far encountered on club sites are very spacious indeed.

As i posted earlier, it doesnt differentiate between between TTs and FCs. To me the only important distinction is that the 'cabin' of a TT requires pegging whereas the awning of an FC is the only bit that needs pegs. In terms of pitch types the caravan club has more hardstandings which you may not like if you have to peg out.

Does the Caravan Club specify the 6 metre between pitches that C&CC does?

Hi,

We had a conway classic trio for ten years and we only stayed on caravan club sites or cls, As far as i am aware we were always made welcome and never looked down on, in fact the only comments made to was regarding the size of it and how much living space we had as the classic trio was the largest trailer tent around at the time.

We use a Conway Countryman to attend many weekend rallies with both clubs.

We are usually the only folding camper on site but have always been made welcome by other members using caravans/motorhomes as many of them started off as campers some years ago and are often interested to see how well fitted a folding camper is, especially when we point out that we have TWO fixed double beds

We mostly use the C&CC rallies as there is no need to book so we just turn up depending on the weather reports so that we can mostly avoid a wet pack away.

If they don't have a rally nearby then we check the CC listing and phone the steward to book a pitch and have always had great weekends and been made to feel welcome. We are never able to travel to far due to work but hadn't realised there were so many good listed sites within an hours drive from home.

I have experienced a TT being turned away from a CC site even though they are meant to cater for both caravans and TTs.
