The club sites are expensive in my view but the certificated sight can be inexpensive. Only problemre the is you don't get much for your money very often.

We gave up our club membership at the beginning of the year through lack of benefit. There are plent of inexpensive sites about outside of the club.

You will learn more on this forum than you will from the club.

One advantage would be that you become a member of your local District Association and could join in on weekend meets with them. You'd become a part of a large group of campers where you can join in or not but feel safe. Also as Hacksaw Bob says, the Temporary Holiday Sites can be really good.  We went to one earlier in the year where we were welcomed into the rally field,escorted to a pitch where we discussed whether it was suitable for us or not,were  offered assistance & generally felt amongst friends even though we'd not met any of them before.  It was a commercial site where we could use all of the facilities but at a much reduced price. We've also been on a  meet which was also on a commercial site but again paid reduced fees.

I think financially you might not find too much difference in your pitch fees but the membership fee would be worth it for the companionship not just for you but for your child too.
