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?

It's very much like the CC KjellNN, popular sites fill up in the peak season. At least you can book a hardstanding and EHU in advance and you can look on line to see what is available.

Sorry Bt we posted with the same thoughts!

edit I presume the CC pre booking system is still being tried out?

Having recently joined, for insurance purposes, can I ask whether the sites are as full as the CC sites at weekends?  Or is it possible to just turn up and be pretty sure there will be a pitch?  HS EHU pitch that is.

Sorry just turning up on popular sites is not wise. The booking up is not as bad as the CC but still can be a problem.

Being new to the C&CC, we have no idea which are the popular sites.

However, we would be looking at trips outside high season, probably mid April to end of June, and September/October.

The Lake District sites are very popular, if you want to go there it might be worth booking ahead, they have minimum stays at busy times.

Kjell, The C&CC's Keswick sites are usually busy all the year round with The Oval the hardest to get on a pitch over a weekend. Delamere is busy most weekends, as is Windermere during Half Term holidays. You should be able to get a H/Spitch at most of the others o/s of high season. We've never had any problem getting onto any of their sites, but usually book non-H/S pitches.

I have just bought a membership gift pack as a present for my Son who has just taken up Caravaning. His reaction on looking through the sites book etc. was that he didnt think he would renew next year because of the very high prices charged per night for the sites and that private sites which oftain have many more facilities are much cheaper. I am afraid I have to agree with him and we rairly use Club sites any more.
