How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

I’ve started this discussion to try and collect together any direct comparisons between CC and C&CC.

One mentioned several times is that C&CC charge deposits with bookings, whereas CC does not. In that same discussion, it was mentioned that the C&CC membership was larger than CC’s, which surprised me. Can anyone provide the stats?

What other factual differences can be identified?

The C&CC forum is down at the moment, perhaps undergoing modification.

If they are amending it because of suggestions by users all power to them. I do wonder whether most of us underestimate how difficult it is to get this sort of thing up and running when you have had no previous experience of such things. The CC went through a very steep learning curve with this forum and we all know there is a lot more that needs doing and we look forward to the new forum. Apart from the heads up here most of us would not have known that the C&CC had a forum and I think its good that they have taken it down to hopefullly put a few things right.

I see the ccc forum is down at the mo. "We are currently undergoing some maintenance work on the Club’s members-only forum. We apologise for any inconvenience."

We have been consistently in the CC and intermittently in the CCC for our caravanning life.  This is mainly down to the location of the sites but also I prefer being able to choose my own pitch. That said when we had the RV the CCC system was much better because we knew once we had booked we would 100% get a pitch on arrival at the site.

Generally we have found the CC sites are slightly higher quality but less flexible.

I have in the past used CCC sites as well as CSs. We used to do tent camping before we got delivery of our new caravan. However, since we got the new van, we've been using CC sites.

unless you are particularly 'brand loyal' id say that location determines whether we use either (or neither) club or CL/CS/THS.

IMHO, no perceivable difference for us...

the deposit/cancellation policy holds no attaction or deterrent, sites are pretty much as 'clean' as each other (why wouldnt they be....?), you can choose your pitch in all cases (subject to availability) despite what some think about CCC, prices are pretty much the same (though marginally less for a couple, weve found)......

so, no real difference, we support all types of site wherever we tour....

I agree in general with this. CCC is cheaper for oldies except at peak. I have found a discussion with a warden (holiday assistant) leads to a good pitch selection. They know the site much better than I do. A few times on CC sites, I have decided the next morning that my choice was poor, but I have never been disapointed with the choice made on a CCC site

the thing which is more important is the location not which club you use

Not only which Club site but which site. This year only 23 percent of my UK nights away have been on Club sites.

In peak season the availability of Temporary Holiday Sites with the CCC is a big plus for them.  The cost of club sites - both clubs- in peak season is becoming prohibitive.  In low season it depends where the sites are open which club I use.
