Not a member of C&CC, but do belong to the 'other' lot (CAMC), EXACTLY the same sentiments from their members too! Last year or so have been bad.
Think CAMC have taken a little heed of feedback, or maybe lack of bookings, they not only hiked prices but also dropped a lot of discounts, like half price pitches for mid week. They seem to have gone into reverse a bit this year, reducing prices, and doing a number of discount schemes, albeit limited time offers. But at least the rises seem to have halted to some extent.
Sadly the 5 pitch CL privately owned sites are going into overdrive in many cases, their pricing is still rising, and many now exceed the costs of a full camp site nearby! - often without any facilities too!
Camping and caravaning has become the playground for the wealthy it seems, no longer a cheap holiday! You've got to work hard to find reasonably priced sites these days, some do exist, but you can't take it as a given any more!

We have digital membership, so don't get the monthly magazine, saves £5; we paid £53 at the start of this month. Up from £48 last year. Not a big deal as far as I'm concerned. We're old enough to benefit from their over 60s discount and in addition C&CC do offer some good discounts: earlier this month spent 2 nights at Cambridge site, got an extra 10% off there, and also spent 6 nights at Woodhall Spa, which had an extra 25% discount from Sunday - Thursday, ended up paying about £23.70 per night (worked ot as an overall average per night, as the Friday wasn't discounted, so would have cost more of course) which is quite good value these days IMHO.
I find CAMC much more expensive, currently looking for an overnighter without EHU, on the way back from Newhaven; out of interest checked both their main sites. CAMC's cheapest offering is £29.30, that's without EHU! C&CC is £10 cheaper (for us, with the over 60s discount of course).
Compared to our car insurance, which went up a whopping 70% last November, and house insurance, which has gone up by nearly 50%, the £5 increase pales into insignificance! But of course, it depends on how much, or little, you use their sites, or CLs/CSs. Although as Fiona says, not every CL/CS owner will ask for proof of membership, and if they do, either pay for the year, or find a different site.
Edited post and all the pound signs have gone funny  changed them as well, but they still aren't right

I am with both clubs, and found savings on nightly non-membership for just one trip is sufficient to cover for the membership fee, for example:
- One trip over Easter for 5 nights in 2025 at C&CC Salisbury club site alone is enough to cover my membership fee for the year.
- Similarly, one trip coming up at one of CAMC's club site in June 2024 for 6 nights is enough to cover my membership fee for the year.
I have been a member with C&CC since 2007, and am going to stay with them as I shall qualify for age concession next year, woo hoo! 
I like to stay with CAMC as I like to have the option to use their sites.
When planning for future trips, I would search for C&CC and CAMC club sites in an area of interest first and check their reviews on UKCS to see if they are any good, before I look for independent sites.
