A lot of CAMC sites are in nicer surroundings with trees etc. Most of the CCC sites - and I've been to quite a lot over the years - are more bland. Facilities-wise there's not much to choose between them. I've also found the CAMC are often closer to towns whereas CCC can be quite some way - for instance Bala CCC is about 3 miles from Bala and not on a bus route. Windermere is the same.

It's all down to personal preference and I know a lot of people would say they go camping to get away but, to my mind, if you're just going to sit on a campsite all day you might just as well save your money and sit in the back garden. I like somewhere to go when I away.

caravan and motorhome club tend to get booked up for weekend stays, so this may be a factor for you.
Camping and caravanning club used to only accept 2 night minimum booking (this may have changed), so less useful if you are touring and just want a stop over, but they do more temporary holiday sites that are minimum facilities and economical.
If you have an idea of some places you want to visit, it may be worth seeing which sites are close.

Is it the case that campers (tents) cant join the posh clu...err sorry, the Motorcampingcaravaning club or whatever it is now?

Also, be aware that if you choose the cheaper joining fee with the C&CC, you wont get the monthly rag thru the letterbox.

Have been members of both and now of neither.

I cannot afford to use the club sites, don't like the draconian rules of the Caravan Club, find the club "special rates" for touring abroad are exorbidant and find that Cl/CS sites are quite happy to let non-members stay for the normal rate.

We camp around 100 to 120 nights a year. It is strange that it is cheaper to caravan in France, even factoring in the crossing of the Channel
