Are You a member of the Caravan Club? Forums

I belong to both clubs mainly for the CL's and CS's and I find at the moment that the last year I have stayed at the CL's more. I think there are more CL's in the Caravan Club but have not actually counted them, could be there are just more of them in the areas I want to go to.
I have never found either club to have an unwelcoming attitude to MH's the few times I have stayed on larger club sites, but there again find the smaller informal sites better at letting me arrive earlier and leave later which suits me.
I will continue to belong to both clubs as I find this gives me a larger choice.

We joined both the Caravan Club and the Camping & Caravan Club and have found so far that the Caravan Club sites suit us more.

We like a Shower / Toilet Block and where possible hard standing when out and about but tend to use the mainsites only for Long Weekends and CL's for short breaks.

So far we have never had any bolshie wardens, though one or two need smiling lessons! (Having said that, maybe it's a bit unfair as I wouldn't work with the general public again for all the tea in China!)

Their mainsite prices tend to reflect that they have a decent size pitch and clean modern facilities.

The CL's are much cheaper but one or two we have stayed at are basic at the very least.

The Caravan Club sites book and information seems to be much clearer the the 'Big Sites' book we get from the Camping & Caravan Club.

We joined the Caravan & Camping Club mainly because we wanted to carry on with RAC membership - hubby and I not being very mechanical. The only way the RAC said we could stay being members with the Motorhome was by joining the C&CC. So far we have used both main sites and certified sites and have no complaints about either. They've got Motorhome Stop Off facilities on many of their sites now and we have always been made to feel welcome. Both being over 50 we have had some good discounts especially off season - all the facilities and in some cases, half the price. We insured the van through them this year and were very please with the level of cover and price - so no complaints from us, though you need to book up early for bank hols etc for the main sites Very Happy

Belong to both, but do prefer the CC sites.

This is also the second year that the CC has been cheaper to insure the 'van and that is at lest enough to carry on with them.

If we have had any problems it has always been with the C+CC and their attitude to motorhomes Evil or Very Mad
