Hi all

I am a new member to this site & a new tourer, although have been tenting for a while now.

Want to join one of the clubs for caravans but not sure which one is best. Would really appreciate any advice?

The Caravan Club.........or......The Camping & Caravanning Club?

Hi

I don't think there is much to choose between them.

We are in the Caravan Club and find the sites are excellent, we also used them for a discounted ferry crossing and saved the membership fee last year.

I find the online booking a bit of a pain at times, but usable, the monthly magazine is a good read, and the info on their website is handy.

We are considering joining the CCC as well, as it will give us a bigger choice of sites.

We joined both so we get a bigger choice of good quality sites.
Also like the CL and CS sites for that quite break for members only.

The Site Book from C&CC is very useful and the CC magazine is usually a good read.

We joined both but we're staying with the C&CC and not renewing the CC.

I think it's really a matter of weighing up what you're going to get out of the club.  If you go abroad and find they're cheaper for ferry crossings, or if you find their insurances etc. are cheaper, then that's fine.  The CLs and CSs are handy, as has been said, but, as far as their own sites go, the CC is more expensive.  We're over 55 so we get the age concession with the C&CC which makes a big difference because we go mid season, i.e. out of school holidays.

The CC magazine is better but then I've found that half of what's in there is also in Practical Caravan!

Regarding ball games, Jane, have you tried phoning them to ask?  We've never had a problem on any of the club sites - or, to be honest, on any site.

This question gets asked at least once a month.  The only real answer is join BOTH for a year (or two).  Don't be a skinflint - spend the money.  At the end of a year YOU will be in a better position to judge which club suits best YOUR type of touring and what YOU want from a club.

Everyone will have an opinion - but that is their opinion and what suits them might not suit you.

Whatever you do enjoy yourself.
