Keswick and Barnard Castle are two C&CC which have privacy cubicles, I can`t remember any others

i personally joined both and for the magazine alone i think they are both worthwhile. i probably only use sites for 20 nights a year so you may think a little extravagant. i am staying at Ravenglas ccc site in may and a private site in South Devon for the summer.

i say just join for the information and regular magazine its got to be worth it.

Really interested in your last post as I believe that if you can prove you have a caravan then you should get a discount of your 4x4 tax, I've got a Kia Sportage which is only a small 4x4 lot less pollution that some of the others but I still get a massive tax.

Do you know who we should try contacting to see if anything could be done?

We don't use club sites any more, even with the age concession we find them too expensive. I would not pay £18 a night, £9.50 for a CS last week which was fine. I believe some CLs and CSs have disabled facilities, we don't need them (yet) thank goodness.

 I wonder what you mean by brookside regimentation in the Caravan Club , to snooty perhaps or is it just the inflexibility of the rules and regs i wonder ! !

I joined the C&CC in the early 60s when we were tent campers and the CC in the 70s and are still members today, although we had a five year break between 97 & 02 owing to redundancy. Our family grew up attending w/e meets and rallies over a 20 year period during which we had some super times. As we are now codgers we like the C&CC because they do the codgers discount and I agree that for the most part the CC sites are better, also, in my opinion the CC has much better organization. Both Clubs are guilty of pricing people like us out of the market, we cannot afford the £18.00 plus fees .which are now prevalent during most of the year. The C&CC have a Noddy for its President who a few months ago he had a right go in the mag about 4x4s and in the last mag said we should leave the car at home and go on the trains. Also, he goes around the country handing out medals to sites which plant trees etc., and guess what?... the price goes up, which allows both clubs to increase theirs. You pay your brass and you take your pick. I am now searching for quality 5 van sites.

 Last year during the summer the C&CC had to cancel my booking due to the severe flooding at Winchcombe site , when i contacted them about reimbursing my deposit i was informed that i could use it for a future booking but there was a time limit and if i did not re-book i would eventually loose my deposit

 At least you do not need to pay a deposit with the C.C they take you on trust
