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?

5 folding chairs for guests??!
Malcolm, you are very well kitted out, but personally I would rather stay home than lug all that kit around.
We do carry tables and chairs for 2 or 3, a 2 ring hob, a small electric oven, a coolbox, and even a little washing machine on longer trips, but it all fits easily in our 3.6m Fiamma Zip porch.
Car is rarely full when travelling either, even on a 4 month trip.
Recliners are used outside, then folded away. If it is chilly we recline in the van.
On our travels we have encountered several "full timers", they all seem to travel pretty light.
Write your comments here...We needed the five chairs because we had five guests to stay in June 2015 for a touring holiday around the Cotswolds, Wales, The Lake District, Scotland, The Peak District and London. There's simply not enough room in the caravan to accommodate 7 people which is why a fully furnished awning with bedroom side annexes were necessary.
Yes. I remember you writing about your trip, but now there are just the 2 of you there is surely no need to carry all that all the time?
As you are not far from your house, can you not use a spare room and/or space in your garage to store what you don't need with you all the time?
I presume you must have the use of some of your own property for keeping clothes for different seasons.
Write your comments here...Yes, we do keep some suitcases there which are full of clothes. We kept all our winter clothes there and just had our summer clothes in the caravan wardrobes during the summer.

I spent four weeks, 28 nights, tent camping at the Camping and Caravanning Club site in Slindon. It was in Spring 2015 and the trees were full of blossom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and met some nice people. It was a basic facility site, no toilet blocks so most of the others staying there were caravanners. Other tent campers would only stop for one or two nights. Unlike the Caravan Club, you could park your outfit facing whichever way you wanted. That plus the mixture of tents and caravans was what made the difference between the two clubs. The site was surrounded by National Trust forests and so was excellent for woodland walks and trails. There were magnificent views on the walks.
