If a site is marked as a carvan club site can non mebers still use it? Sorry if this seems a really silly question, but i'm new to camping.

It will normally also say 'non members welcome' on the sign. I think anyway!! shows how much notice I take. Happy camping (o'h they don't all have tent sites - we learnt coz our friends have a tent so we have to bear this in mind when all going together with vans and tents.)

The Caravan Club only allow non members to use their campsites if its a condition of the lease. If you were intending to stay on one of the sites for 5 days or more it would almost be cheaper to join the Club as there is quite a hefty non member fee.

I'd agree with David. You'd probably (almost) recoup your membership fee by avoiding a few nights of the non-members supplement. Same with the C and CC- but then that's the purpose of trhe supplement to some extent-they'd rather have you as members. BUT-to answer your question-it will state "members only" on entrance sign-if you want to check before you go check their websiter.

Yes they do, when we stayed at longleat there were several trailer tents and the site didn't allow normal tents.... I rang coniston CC to see how much extra it would be for our camping friends as they take tents and was told by the warden that tents are not charge the non members fee as they can't join the club (being a tent) and so it would be unfair for them to be charged extra; not sure if this is the case at any of their other sites excepting tents.

Pretty much all the Caravan Club sites on this website are non members welcome, as the Caravan Club dont want us to list their member only sites

Cheers

Yes, you can join the CC with a trailer tent. We have stayed on one before with a normal tent and as a non-member, but this year we decided to join.
