I'm sure you will get many views on both, but we have never bothered with either.
Plenty of good private sites available and many of them are cheaper than the club sites.
Unless you are planning on using the small CL or CS sites, I can't really see a reason for joining either club.

when we had tents we joined Camping & Caravan Club and did use some of their club sites. Once we bought our caravan we also joined Camping Club, never been to a site in 2 years so that one has now been cancelled. As we are a certain age, we get concessionary at c&cc sites so will be keeping that one. I think its a matter of choice really

we have young children, and have joined caravan club as we are going to france this year, and the ferry deal was too good to not be a member! if you need breakdown cover, rac pay for your first years membership for CC&C.

Lots of threads on this topic. Suggest you visit both websites to see what they offer and make your choice from there. We use club sites because we like to know what we are getting and we like a fairly quiet life. Also use C&CC to book French sites and for insurance.

What do you want from the club? The answer to this will dictate which club is best suited to you (if any)

We're in both but will be dropping the C&CC this year as it's not meeting our needs

We are members of the caravan club (only got our first caravan in March) and have visited a club site and 3 different certificated sites so far, which have all been fantastic.
We have also been to a few C&CC sites that accepted non members with friends who have tents. From the limited experience that we have there seems to be a more relaxed vibe on the C&CC sites and the CC sites we have visited had a more formal arrangement (and were quieter from a "noise" point of view).
I think we will join both and see which one suits us the best longer term.

I am a member of both Clubs as I like to use CS and CL sites and attend rallies and meets so for these alone, in my opinion, it is worth the membership fees.
Have never used a CC site and have only used 1 C&CC site in 8 years of membership!

If as you say you are new to caravaning then my advise would be to join a club if only to gain the wealth of information they have to offer. In the past I have belonged to both clubs and my preference if I were to rejoin now would be the C&CC. I fell out with the CC simply because their discription of CLs fell way short of reality. I challenged them on several occasions about their misrepresentaions and got absolutely no where, so we parted company. Good luck and enjoy your camping
