No the caravan club doesn't offer this. They do do mid week discounts on some sites, which I would think could be regarded as similar. We aren't members of C&CC these days, but understood they did away with them for new members. May rejoin this year, but we need to decide on our plans for the year generally

Unfortunately you can't have your cake and eat it!!! For it to work the Club would have to be convinced that it would help to fill underused capacity on campsites rather than provide an added subsidy. We tend to motorhome all year and with the odd exception CC sites seem to be pretty well used. There is also the issue of given one part of the membership an advantage over another as would happen if you base price discounts on an age basis. At least the mid week discount is available to all. I expect the C&CC work on a different model. Because they ask for a deposit and also accept more tent campers they need to encourage people to commit to booking pitches which the age concession does. My experience of C&CC sites is that I can generally leave booking a site right to the last minute whereas CC sites I have to book some way ahead.

I agree entirely with DavidKlyne's post above. The Club already has some midweek discounts for all caravanners, irrespective of age. Considering the age of caravanners generally, and the fact that those who are retired have more flexibility to use sites during the week, I see no advantage in changing this.
