Trailer Tents are more than welcome on Caravan Club sites. The only issue might be is selecting the right size pitch as the Club now have a lot more non awning pitches (affects caravanners as well!) If your TT has  large footprint it would be best always to book a awning pitch. I have stayed on 8 CC sites this year and its fair to say that TT's are fairly rare. Also they have a special section on their forum for TT's which is not widely used. It does seem to me that there is a lot of misinformation out there, often not based on personal experience, on the sort of welcome anyone will get on a Caravan Club site, the way I look at it is that I am as good but no better than anyone else staying on site

Hi,

We used to have a trailer tent or a canvas mansion as i called it due to its size (7mtrs by 4.5mtrs) and for 10 years we only used caravan club sites with no bother at all from wardens or  other caravanners, it's true what others have said about not seeing alot of them on site but from our experience certainly made welcome by all.

As David Klyne says book an awning pitch and you shoudn't have any problem with space.

Duncan.

I for one do not like tenters, caravaners, motorhomers, trailer-tenters etc. I like campers! Whatever unit you turn up to the campsite with makes no difference. You are still a camper camping on a campsite! Ignore those who show distaste for your particular mobile home and embrace those who don't. You will end up with more friends than enemies. CC sites are generally very good and the CC members (I am one of course) are generally friendly people. Book some sites, have some fun, enjoy the company of campers that don't judge your outfit for its 'cool factor' and ignore the very small minority that 'look down' at canvas lovers or motorhome lovers or caravan lovers etc. You will be having fun while they are trying to impress the whole campsite with their chosen style of camping. 99% of campers don't care what you camp in - but then 99% of campers are to busy having fun to care! I recon I have said my bit now so happy holidays
