Moving from Devon to Argyll Scotland soon.
Not used the caravan for a couple of years so not a member of either CC or C & C Clubs.
Sites for both clubs seem quite sparse compared to England, is there a better one to join? Or not bother?
We do intend to travel a lot in the next 12 months, mainly around the Highlands.
Thanks

I moved from Hampshire to Aberdeenshire 10 years ago. One of the best moves I ever made, so I wish you all the best.
Since you're moving to the West coast, buy loads of insect repellent and a good set of waterproofs.

There are hundreds of independent camp sites and holiday parks, so being in one of the clubs isn't really necessary. However... I've been a CC member for many years and I do find it useful in Scotland. There are I think 14 CC sites, a couple of affiliated sites and a number of CLs.

Can't speak for the other club.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

If there is only a couple of specific sites you intend to use you can always just pay the higher non member rates and not join either.

We tend to join one or the other each year as find the sites are well placed, especially into the Highlands.

Yet to fathom which is better, both provide good well run sites in places popular with campers - but then again so do many independents.

Maybe check on the site search on here for the areas you intend to visit will give you a better idea if you need to join either club?

Don't bother joining for a year, then decide which Club (or not at all) when you've seen where you enjoy going to and whether membership would make it cheaper. We are in C&CC as we used to tent, but we stay at far more Independant sites than Club ones. It's not supposed to happen, but few Certificated sites / locations ask to see your Club membership card and you can join there if needs be. There are far far more sites listed in UKCS than in the C&CC handbook.

-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.
