How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

Not on all sites, just some of the more popular ones in peak season. I find the boooking systems with both clubs is good but the CC wins on keeping one night bookings throughout the year.

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.

Our bookings through this winter and into Spring and Summer are all with the Caravan Club. Our winter bookings alternate between Gatwick and Brighton and the Spring and summer bookings between Worthing and Littlehampton. Most of our bookings are 21 nights. We prefer long term stays so that we don't have to put up and take down the awning every few days.  It's also a lot less work of packing and unpacking, hitching up and unhitching etc. Our work commitments mean having to stay in or near the Worthing area, so we've booked our sites accordingly.

One or two night bookings usually mean that you don't have much time to do anything else other than towing between sites and carrying out all the necessary tasks of setting up your outfit followed by packing it once again ready for travel.

We still retain membership of both clubs as we may need to use the other club for tent camping whilst our caravan is being serviced.

One night bookings are very useful when you are travelling long distances and just need a rest for the night. We used both clubs for one night stays last year but the C & CC is more limited due to their minimum stay restrictions on some sites.

Can't you get a mobile engineer to service your caravan on site Malc?.......

...I think it should be 2 night booking minimum at w/ends

May be worth a phone call to your dealers Malc 

Back on thread, there are some camping sites in the CC....

Write your comments here...That's because you have a motorhome, brue. One night stays are much more hassle with a caravan especially with a full sized awning plus side annexes!

Write your comments here... In recent years I have only ever used NCC Approved Mobile Workshops which have also carried out warranty work when needed. I believe all the manufacturers accept servicing and repair by other than the selling dealer providing they are an approved workshop whether mobile or static. I know they're not in Malcolm M's area but have a look at the web site for Camelco which state "All UK manufacturers now specify that caravans must be serviced by NCC Approved Workshops for the warranty to be maintained".  I always consider mobile workshops to be better because their reputation is based solely on servicing or warranty work and not on caravan or accessory sales and therefore try 100% to retain business by good customer service.
