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?

My main wishes when going away are dog friendly and as few children as possible ...... none would be even better ! Surprised

 children should be neither seen nor heard and the CC has provided this peace & quiet admirably. Surprised

But dogs are OK   Undecided

What a terrible attitudeYell

Why terrible ? Care to explain or expand on your view ?

I thought that too when I read the post. 

Why terrible ? What is wrong with being honest ?

Unfortunately we've had some heated discussions in the past on children and dogs on sites. Although it's honest to say what you prefer on a site I think both clubs are family friendly and also welcome pet owners.

Moonchip, I'm not prepared to enter into a debate with you on such a volatile subject. You have your views and I have mine, both have been stated, lets leave it at that. This forum stays a lot friendlier that way.....Cool

Hello brue

I cannot comment on CCC as I'm only a member here. I'm sure that emotive subject such as dogs, children, spouses can - and do - get heated at times   Happy

I was only being honest from my personal perspective and meant no offense towards anyone else

Right, now thats sorted ...... who's for politics & religion Laughing  Cool  !!!!

Getting back to the original post, I don't think there is really a great deal of difference between the clubs. Presumably the C&CC have more members because they also attract tent users as well as caravanners.  Personally, I dislike the design and layout of the other Club's sites. You can be stuck on a pitch with other members N S E and W of you with little privacy and cars driving past your awning. I don't like the way they allocate pitches either rather than allowing you  to choose. However, their Overseas service is excellent and we remain members of both clubs for that reason.  If you can afford it - join both.....

We do not have the privacy problem with C&CC sites but do find them a bit less scenic somehow. Frankly we use whichever we find most conveniant or cheaper. 

What annoys me about the C&CC though is the booking system as you cannot compare the price by just looking at the site details. You actualy have to get one step short of booking to get the fees which is unnecessarily time consuming.

...the other annoying thing about their booking system is that you have to book a minimum of 2 nights on a site.  That makes touring difficult sometimes.
