How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

The user and all related content has been Deleted User

We are members of both leisure businesses the CC and the C&CC.  There is little to choose between them.. Both have their good points and their not so good. You would have to be a real pedant to say that one is much better than the other.  I believe that they both compliment each other as they, combined, offer a range of sites all over the UK.

We are members of not clubs. I agree there's little to choose between them. CC sites tend to be higher and more consistent standard, C&CC has, arguably, a better booking system and you can prebook a specific pitch type. Likewise the CC's CLs tend to be slightly better than tge C&CC's CS sites in our experience. Incidentally, it's no longer the case that you get no choice on C&CC sites. On the last 3 occasions we've used their sites the warden has escorted us but let us choose from whatever pitches are available. We'd happily use sites from either club if they're in the area we're visiting and would generally opt for one of them rather than private sites ( unless they've been personally recommended.) 

I've just joined the C&CC, so once we used them I'll let you know 

I do like the fact you can opt out of a paper membership .....

I used a CCC site last year, and quite enjoyed it. Cheaper, the warden showed me every pitch available to choose from, Shower and loos imaculate. Local pipe band turned up to play a jaunty tune to weclome visitors. It was noticable that the age groups are much more mixed. On the whole, when no cl/cs is available a CCC is good for me. Also easier booking. Cant remember if I paid a deposit or not, but that bit doesnt matter anyway.

If I was doing pluses and. minuses CC  would get most of both

We are members of both so that it gives us a greater choice of locations. In my view the CC has a better overall standard of campsites. Their hardstandings are larger than the C&CC. I have seen very few hardstanding pitches on a C&CC site where you could park a car/caravan/awning across the pitch. Being a motorhomer that is not a problem for me. The C&CC have much better motorhome service points. Pitches are allocated but this is usually done to try and accommodate any member requirements so not as draconian as it is sometimes portrayed. One advantage of the deposit system in the C&CC is that you can often find pitches at the last minute as their sites are rarely full.

We belong to both, they're different and I like what both offer. The C &CC have a good system of booking hardstandings if available, in fact they have a good pitch availability system for all pitch types. I much prefer their rolling booking sytem even though we have to pay a deposit. I can only remember being allocated a pitch once (at Moffat, when it was very busy.) Because there is a bigger variety of usage, tents, backpackers, groups etc I quite like the atmosphere on C & CC sites, a bit more relaxed and interesting. However I'm fine with CC sites, CLs and rallies too.

 I believe fines are imposed for early arrivals. 

This is no longer the case, as the idea was abandoned a couple of years ago.

We also belong to both and I endorse all that David says, yes, you are shown to your pitch, but one has never been forced on us, we are always asked if the pitch is ok for us. OK, so some of the facilities blocks need updating,(as do some CC ones) but we have  never seen a dirty one, also think that the atmosphere on site is much more relaxed. I think the standard of CLs  is in the  main better than CSs, with the five van rule upheld more on CLs, though not exclusively. I'm happy with their booking system , also with deposits, their late cancellation policy is, imho better. Having said that, I'm happy with both clubs as they afford me a lot of choices between them......
