Going on my first trip to c&cc site next week - Clitheroe.  Will post how I get on. Must admit the CS appeal to me.

well i dont see that it can hurt goining for a year for £35.00 and see how we get on, its difficult for me and hubby to get the timing right for trips as i work every weekend and he works in the week but im sure we will get enough trips to make our money back, and i have asked father christmas for a minnesota 4 as we dont need montanna if the girls dont come ................ im feeling rich today so i am off to goin

 P.S does anyone know if they have sites in Germany?

membership runs for the year, eg from june to june, spetember to september etc - sure...as ours expires every july. si even if you join now you won't lose

we only use the C&CC sites. Our Tt is largish 6.7Mx 4.5M and we have no trouble with pitches. on our last occasion though the camp warden did ask if we would peel back one of groundsheets so the grass could see some light. his wife also pointed out that you can get breathable groundsheets.....

we like the quiet and the fact there will be no drunks etc. our kids are 12,9 and 6 and they get a bit more freedom than they would at home.

hi easycamp

what i meant with the year thing is if i goin now it runs out in aug and there is still time to go away so if we are members we may aswell use it however  if we dont like C&CC the membership runs out feb march time and we wont be camping then anywayso we will have had the best for our money. if we do like it it doesnt matter when we goin!!!

hope you get my point as that is very confusing isnt it!!!!! lol

I particularly like the fact that children 6 & under are free, most non-club sites charge for children from 3 or 4 onwards. In low season all children under 16 are free. For the last 3 years I've camped with my 2 young children and only paid for me. My daughter's now 7 so I've told her it comes out of her pocket-money (only kidding!!!!!).

Someone asked about young children playing - yours sound like mine, happy to amuse themselves and use their imagination. Mine don't shriek or race about but play happily and enjoy being in the outdoors. I've never yet been tutted at, most of the time, there have been other families or older couples who all smile and also enjoy watching children play.

to be honest we camp for about £20 a night includng electric - thats a family deal for 5. if we had to use B&B it would be at least £50 upwards as most places would make us take 2 rooms.
i don't mind the years membership at all - we alwasy seem to have a good time, but the club does seem biased towards caravans - the pitches do seem to be better - anyone else noticed?

We joined last month.  I've been looking through their book but not found a site in the location I want ie close enough to walk to the sea in south devon.  However, we've been getting 5% discount in Towsure by showing our membership cards so that a bonus.

hey homebird have you tried the site at slapton sands......that should be close enough to a pebbly beach?
and blackpool sands is a short drive away

5% discount at towsure well its worth goining for that .............. i could lend my membership card to santa and he can get £11.00 off my minnesota 4

goking apart though the discounts do look good (we planning 2 weeks in germany next year) and we can save on the ferry and everybody seems to highly praise the sites so i think we will go for it ......we are hoping to start camping in march next year so i can get some sites booked.
