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?

We have been away for 77 nights this year, 37 nights on CC sites (48%) 10 nights on C&CC sites (13%) 4 nights on a commercial site (5%) and finally 26 nights in France (34%) Easy with the aid of a calculatorWink

we did around 33 weeks in 2015 (still on site now for NY) so 230 odd nights.....

dont keep a specific record as we dont (generally) book, so no diary to refer back to.

however, out of all the different choices of site we made over the year, i suspect the CC came last, behind CCC, CL/CS, THS, commercial, foreign sites and aires.....not necessarily in that order...

each type of site has its pro and cons, i do like the CC booking system (but dont agree with its cancellation policy), CCC system is clunkier but agree with their deposits policy.

IMHO, neither club is 'better' each has good and not-so-good points, sites are pretty much similar, anyway its more about the location than how much time the warden spends cleaning the showers.....

Having just joined the C&CC for the purpose of getting their home insurance, we hope to sample a few of their sites in 2016.  There are some areas where CC sites are very thin on the ground, so being C7CC members will give us additional options.

This year we have only managed 36 nights away, all on CC sites, due to illness, but in 2016 we plan at least 8 weeks abroad plus at least 6 weeks in UK.

We are not yet members of the C&CC up until now we have not found the need to join but that's not to say in the future we might. This year we have been away for a total of 163 nights, 40 on CC, 15 on Cl's, 4 on commercial, 44 in France and 60 in Spain. This is the most time we have spent away in the van, we've also had a few fly holidays. Next year will be a little differant as we are not planning to take the van overseas twice like we have in the last 4 years, so might look at C&CC, I take it the membership runs like the CC 12 months from date of joining.

Correct TG; you can also choose between 2 types of membership: one where you get the monthly magazine and sites book, think it's £43, and the other is where you access the magazine and sites details on line, so no magazine and no book,  That's £37, so a small saving.

A tip: if you're thinking of joining and you also happen to go to a caravan show, like the NEC, join there; we did last year at the February NEC, and we received 2 free sites night vouchers, which paid for this year's membership!

I joined the C&CC as we Usally to Black Knowl in November ,but as the CC is closing it early we are trying the C&CC setthorns site , it also gives us more choice and I like the fact you can choose the type of pitch surface you want .

Between March and June this year we stayed on two CSs one in Chipping Sodbury and one at Charmill Cottage next to the Findon cricket club ground. We also stayed at the CCC site at Slindon. So we've made use of our membership of both clubs.
