Thanks for the suggestions guy's but still can't get in anywhere.

Oh well I guess I have left it a little late and will have to wait until the weekend after :-)

David,

I have seen the CCC crop up a few times now and wondered what the benefits exactly where at joining the club?!

I do not really see what you get for £37 per year...

Sorry!

Cheers

Johnny

Johnny - basically it means reduced site fees.  If you visit a C&CC site as a member you pay less than a non-member and some sites only accept members.  You would need to work out how many visits you would need to make before you could re-coup the £37.  As a member you get access to a network of club sites and 100's of very small sites called CS's that might only take a handful of units.  They are of variable standard so it is useful to read a review on here, if available.  By being a member, you also get a magazine every so often (I think it's monthly), and you have access to the CCC various insurances, including continental cover.  If you stay on a CCC site they will not put a minimum number of nights you have to stay. (Some commercial sites specify a minimum number of nights at busy times, as mentioned above by CarolineM.)

The Caravan Club does basically the same thing, but opens a greater range of sites that you can visit.  The CC has a larger number of club sites - their small privately owned network of sites are called CL's.  As a caravanner, we are a member of both, but the CC does not accept tenters as members (but does accept trailer tenters).  We tend to use CC sites more frequently that C&CC sites.  Our local Caravan/Camping accessory shop gives you 5% off if you present your CC card, but I don't know about C&CC.

I've probably missed things out here, but that will give you some idea.
