I diagree with robin52 - we joined the camping and caravanning club for the rallies and cs's not the club sites.  Club sites are good but I think quite expensive.  Rallies and CS's on the other hand are very cheap.  Going to a rally this weekend for the princely sum of £7.40 per unit for the weekend!

There's also all the other benefits. The RAC Arrival scheme membership saves me the cost of the C & C C membership each year so the Club sites, rallies, cheap holiday sites, monthly mag and everything else is a bonus. My caravan is insured with Club Care - they are the only company I found who didn't insist on a wheel clamp - I can't lift any of the wheel clamps I tried so any other insurance would have been worthless.

We joined the club initially for the arrival scheme but we've found that the cs sites are brilliant for cheap weekends away, we looked at one the other day at Clevedon in Somerset, tiny little place, ideal for a overnighter as it's very close to the M5, incl ehu all for £7.30p/n.
And also this year we want to try a holiday site near to Falmouth for a fiver a night in peak season.

The CC charge per person too, and a pitch fee, but don't have the over 55s off-peak discount the C&CC have.
The club sites are not cheap, but neither are they particularly expensive. And they are reliably good and usually peaceful.

It's very kind & considerate of you Romany to warn folk to stay away from all the discounts both clubs boast about as well as staying away from the well kept sites with the lovely clean toilets & showers. Without someone like you going "under protest" to some of these sites, members of this forum may well have fallen into the trap & joined.

If you want fishing there are several C&CC sites that are near water and fishing is available.

You'll get sent a couple magazines per month, one of these is out and about, in this they'll tell you all about the holiday sites and rallys hosted by the DA's, this where the club earns it's membership money along with the CS sites as well.

Top marks go to Barnard Castle`s Camping and Caravanning Club site, good pitches, the cleanest and most well kept facilities and the most helpfull and friendliest staff I`ve met at any site club or commercial. We booked grass with EHU and the gentleman on site could not have been more helpfull, he took us round and we had any choice of pitch, then he gave us hand to unhitch and locate the van. I think Keswicks sad faced staff should take a lesson from them.

There are not many of the club sites that are £7-90 each most are £6-90 and thats high season, we use them as we can take advantage of age concession off peak. you will get a super big sites book that is worth quite a few pounds.

We're in both, but for sheer number of CLs the Caravan Club wins hands down. Some lovely sites at £2 or £3 a night, often with no extra for more than two people, with no wardens (-:  and where you're left completely alone to do as you please - no-one fussing about arrival or departure times, pitch position, etc.
