How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

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 .....

It may be to your advantage to pay for the book for the first year husky, if you are anything like me. I prefer to look in a book for sites rather than onlone, although their search facility is very good......

I used to belong to both but I cancelled the CCC a couple of years ago because I just wasn't using their sites. I definitely think their sites are inferior. Pitches were not as big and I am sure they were closer together although I never actually got out a tape measure! I remember especially Teversal (which has a fantastic toilet block with amazing wet rooms to shower at leisure in) felt awfully claustrophobic. At Conkers the van next to me was way too close. Oxford was a night mare with incredibly uneven grass pitches (but a super location).

These kind of issues just put me off.

However the CCC definitely have the right booking system which is rolling and with deposits. Why the CC don't do this I just can never get my head around. It is by far the best and fairest system helping to prevent those who book with a casual attitude of well we'll book it - we can always cancel - and avoiding this ridiculous booking day clammer necessary (whatever some may say) if you want to get on Baltic Wharf or Rowntree, for example, at a key time.  

I confess I have been thinking about rejoining CCC. I have relatives who are members and there are a number of sites they tell me are lovely so I mighty repent and give them a second chance.

For the sake of thirty odd quid Graydjames, it's money well spent imho.....

I have been a member of both for some considerable time but tend to use CC sites more than C&CC ones. In spite of the deposit system sites do get full but not so quickly as CC ones so don't always expect to be able to find a pitch. Deleted User User is a little out of touch with curren practice. Like the CC, turning up early is frowned upon but the charges for doing so were dropped sometime ago. Yes you are shown to your pitch but if you are not happy with it, you do not have to accept it and as David says they do try and match it with your outfit and take into account your wishes. As a motorhome owner who moves on fairly frequently, I don't like their minimum stay rules but it generally only applies in peak season or at popular sites.

They have fewer sites and not many are open all year. Yes they are mostly of a lower standard but this is certainly not the case with them all and they currently have a program of upgrades which I see as being greater than that of the CCs.

The breakdown service mirrors that of Mayday but the overseas travel insurance is for me not so good. They won't cover larger motorhomes and at one time did not cover pets but I believe the latter has now changed.

The pensioners discount is of course well known and they do have hobby sections and have the lead in offering winter touring and world tours. Rallies or meets in the C&CC are less formal affairs.

We have the 8th Earl of Leicester. They have Julia Bradbury. 

Who is the 8th earl of Leicester. I know who Julia Bradbury is

Been a member of both Clubs, but now only the CC, find their sites a bit better standard, and much prefer being able to choose my own pitch from the ones vacant.Worst (and last) experience of the C&CC  was at Culzean  Castle where we were  made to park down a dark damp lane, (hardstanding) As That's  where the motor homes have to park ! !  No choice at all.  Left after that.

That says it all......

That's what I have done, opted for the book this year to get the feel of the club , it will be easier to compair the sites between both clubs using both books ........ 

Wise choice husky.....
