It alld epends on how old you are and how many people are in your party. We used to be members of the c and c because kids camped free and there were specail family deals. We are also members of the caravan club. We prefer cc as we are now retired and prefer quieter sites! Families I feel that the c and c club offer better value but for couples and the retired I would suggest the caravan club/ Allmuch of a muchness its just what suits your needs best!
Problem is, according to their profile, the OP is a tent camper.
We're members of the C&CC and find it suits us perfectly. As 'over 55's' we get age concession rates and also, as we are both retired, we tend to go mid-week and get the '4 for 3' rates. This means that in mid-season we can have an EHU pitch on a club site for under a tenner a night.
Of course, many people can't do this but you still have the (usually) high standards that go with a club site. We've never been disappointed and, I must say, I've never found the sites 'regimented' in any way and have always found the site staff friendly and helpful. I've usually been offered a choice of pitches on arrival unless the site is particularly busy.
We have also started to use Certificated Sites. We had the tent field of a great little site in Kent virtually to ourselves in the middle of August. To be fair, it was an 'adult only' site, but we picked it for that very reason.
We also take advantage of the club insurance for our tent and trailer and find the monthly magazine entertaining and informative. The other readily available camping magazine would cost you more than the C&CC subscription for the magazine alone.
The website is a mine of information and the online booking system is great for checking availability of club sites.
To the OP, I would suggest giving it a try for a year and see how you find it.

Richard

I am going to join next year,there are some lovley club sites round me in centeral scotland,with regards to value for money,dont think you can go wrong,they have a very fair system,i plan to take my daughter a few trips myself next year,as well as familey trips.On most private sites in summer, with just me and the daughter i can expect to pay 18-25 pound a night,but with the ccc payment method i am looking at paying 10.50-13.00 pound a night and that is with electric,[8.50 for me,daughter is free,electric £3.25,cant get much better value than that in my opinion.
