Yes thanks for that - was a bit confused because looking at the CC www it suggested that they didn't take tents but I was planning going to a cc site in Coniston which their own website suggests they do. I wasn't sure if you needed to be a member but as you don't that's my first port of call this year!

If there is not another campsite in the area then the caravan club sites usually accept tents. Their website shows which sites accept tents. We've stayed at Dunnet Bay in Scotland, a beautiful site.

As far as I am aware the CC do accept 'non-members' tent campers where they have provision for them to pitch. Three immediately spring to mind, Edinburgh, Rowntree Park York, Seaview at Spittal near Berwick. All have excellent amenity buildings. Just browsing through the 2006 "Our Site Collection" handbook others included are Tredegar House Country Park, Freshwater East, Wales, all seven Irish sites, twelve in various parts of Scotland, and about thirty five in England.

There's a tenters site nearly next door to the CC site at Coniston. Right on the lake shore. Given the option I would choose this in preference to the CC site. I went to the CC Site some years ago with an oldish Elddis. They didn't seem too keen on that so I can't imagine what they'd be like with a tent. Perhaps I'm being unkind and things have changed but, even so, I would prefer the lakeside field.

As a tenter I use CC sites on occasions ( even though I am a CCC member) because they have some great ones in the North of Scotland.

I actually tried to join the CC as a tenter and was told I could but there was little point.
The tent pitches were the same price for members/non members alike and could only be booked with the site by phone.

A lot of people assume, wrongly, that the CC don't take tents.

I know this is an old thread but the issue keeps rearing it's head
