Ian, the web page hasn't changed a bit. Didn't I just explain.
Click Overseas Holidays. Click Search and Book. Same web page as ever was.
I think Ian must have got into the booking page the same way I do, which does come up with a very different page, with no options of selecting Camping Cheques or sites. I'm not quite sure why there are now two routes to booking a ferry - one which offers sites and Camping Cheques, and the other not. I imagine many others must use the method I use - which is to go to Overseas Holidays/Book a Crossing/Book Now. This used to take you to the page offering the option of sites and Camping Cheques, now it's just ferry crossings only.
You are correct as always. LOL! However when you go to the Camping cheques CC webpage none of the drop down list of country etc work? In essence you cannot see if there are any sites that accept Camping Cheques near to where you are going.
We have never used them previously so this year it will be a whole new experience which has not got off to a very good start.

HI. Can anyone tell me if much cheaper to go dover/calais return. beginning july for 3 weeks. We usually go last week july for 3 weeks.we always get red pennant fully comp but finding vertical expensive now.any ideas of car/caravan.personal.insurance. we only join cc for red pennant thanks.
I can't get any BF crossings when we want to go with the Caravan club, best I could get was Newhaven Dieppe for £500 with 10 camping cheques.
We are looking to go around 28th May (flexible for a few days either way) returning on around 10th June.
Nothing available that I can see on BF crossings unless someone can tell me otherwise?
I tried camping and caravaning club too, brings up "No crossings available" I guess I am too late to book the offers through them?

This ferry This includes ferry and 7 Camping Cheques.
£340.65
BOOK NOW
This is with a car up to five metres long, and two metres high, and a caravan seven metres long. Where are you going wrong, do you think, as I had absolutely no problem. NB Return date 11th June.
PS I'd be happy to negotiate a price for the Camping Cheques, if you don't want them!
Out of interest I did the same dates as Val (nothing better to do!) but for a MH; ouch! With 7 CCs, same dates/times, it returned a fare of £456.29. MH length up to 8m and 2 adults. Strange, when the total combined length of car (as above) at 5m and caravan at 7m is 4m longer overall
Ina, it's because the Caravan Club offer gives 'free' caravan crossings, effectively meaning you get a price for just a five metre car. I think it's something that motorhomers should lobby the Caravan Club about - after all a lot of members now own motorhomes and can't benefit from these offers!

Yes, I knew about the free caravan offer with the CC. Perhaps it's BECAUSE a lot of members own MHs that there is no similar offer for them; they'd not make as much money out of them!

Hi
We will be using our camping Cheques - the only difference is the length of the caravan. Our caravan is just over 7M long. I retried with same dates, only two adults and adjusted the length of the caravan, I am still getting message "No Crossings" I even tried my i-pad incase it was something to do with cookies/ internet history on my laptop. Still the same! I am going to ring them
I have just re-tried and over typed the dates rather than selecting from the pick list calendar and it appears to have worked. hurrah, it must not have liked something with the date format

Now that the 'Caravan Club' is now the 'Caravan and MOTORHOME Club' perhaps they will pull their finger out and get Motorhomers a good deal instead of offering 50% for just Caravans.
