Excessive site fees

As members of both clubs there is no answer to which is cheaper as generally sites even in the same area are not always comparable. The CC does at least have up front pricing where the C&CC sites needs you to go through the booking process to find out what it will cost.

That last point is true in theory, WW, but I wonder how many folk do check the price of CC sites before booking? When we book sites with either club we fill in all the details and the price appears once we've done that. In that respect there's little difference although it's try that with C&CC you have to fill in your outfit details with each booking and there's an extra click if you want the ACR. On the other hand, you can book a HS if you want one! 

Being a members of both Clubs I use whichever sites suits my particular holiday   Invercoe is in a stunning location. On the outskirts of the Village of Glencoe.  Right on the water's edge.  Cheaper per night than Bunree or North Ledaig. Although Bunree is one of our favourite sites we have also stayed at Invercoe. 

Glen Nevis site is an excellent site and we have stayed there many times. It is within walking distance of Fort William  a bit nearer to 3 miles.walk. It's right across from the Tourist Path up Ben Nevis. Adjacent to a lovely river with the "bouncy bridge"  at the visitors centre.

We never Slavishly follow "the CC sites only" mantra, We go to the most interesting places and use the nearest decent.campsite or CL to that location.

 It's what you do on holiday which matters, not how nice a view you get of the other caravans.

Wow! We have more in common that you could ever imagine, K! 

Just returned from Chester Fair Oaks site, one night, £31.30 !!, I nearly choked on my dentures, It was our first trip out this year, only able to book something last minute.Ok, apparently, our over night stay was classed as still in  the 'High' season, but £31.30 per night (two adults) to stay in my own caravan is ridiculous. The club is in danger of  killing the goose that layed the golden egg. it's easy sometimes to forget that we have also paid a membership fee for the privilege of being charged so much.

Write your comments here...Why go to a Caravan Club site?  We never do as they look like supermarket car parks to us.  We often find a CL either with no other caravans or only one or two.  It reminds me of camping as a child in the 1950's.

Write your comments here... We are also members of both clubs and check out sites from both when touring. Just back from Camping in the Forrest site at Aberfoyle which is run by the C&CC and thoroughly enjoyed it although no CC site there.

At Oban would go for North Ledaig for the view though and same at Bunree.

In the last two to three years we have started to use private owned sites due to priceing and what you get for your money, where before we were 100 per cent CC sites. One site we use a lot in Devon has fully serviced pitches, and probably the the best kept site we have stayed on in 30 years and is a lot cheaper. I'm afraid the CC has gone to dear for what you get. And I think the CC has lost the feeling that it is a club and is know a business.

We live in the South East and like to go away for lots of long weekends, not too far away, all year round, in addition to our longer summer trips. We are having difficullty finding sites at times in places that are convenient for motorhomers, i.e. leave motorhome in situ and explore on foot/buses, and certainly are finding the Caravan Club Sites very expensive just for three nights. Guess they do not really want us, only the people who stay longer.

Yes very good site and location and wardens very good. The grass pitches seem to us far better being on the flat but the hard standings are in the trees and not as scenic having no view. It does not put us off but we would take the grass pitches as the first option.

Big advantage for us is it is an hours drive away but a world away in atmosphere.
