don't really know how much longer for ( 12mths at least ,just paid another years  subs) but we're in both the camping and caravanning club & the caravan club, lots more club sites to go at.

depends what you want out of your membership, both clubs have their pro's but both have their con's too.

that said i know a few 'vanners who arn't members of either club ,they don't appear to enjoy their trips any less than club members do

Sorry to hear about your bad experience Mark. We are in both clubs and on balance prefer the C&CC. We join the CC in order to go to Pembrey in the summer and Crystal Palace: our local CC site is Chatsworth which is impossible to book. We find the booking system (basically book everything the first week in December) fine for longer stays (Pembrey) because we are tied to school holidays and have no flexibility, but weekends at CC sites local to us are nightmarish as they are full months in advance. C&CC works out cheaper for us as well. Pembrey is the only CC site from the (admittedly limited) number we have stayed at that isn't full of pensioners in brand new vans - for a family with a crappy we stand out like a sore thumb.

you must do what is best for you, everyone's experience is different.

If there are tents on a CC site, they are nowhere near the caravans
