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?

The other club has also branched out into holiday lodges, there are some big differences but the two clubs compliment each other and offer more choice if you belong to both.

We are members of both Club's but generally prefer the CC.  I do think we are in for a period of change in both clubs.

I wonder if Julia and Thomas have ever camped alongside each other?Laughing (Is that the "done" thing......?)

The Countess of Leicester might have something to say about that!

They also introduced Ready Camp  at 17 sites this year along side other Glamping offers.

Julia Bradbury is better looking than the 8th Earl of Leicester.

To an earlier poster about CC&C selecting your pitch for you.  They do allocate pitches but if you don't like it you can select an alternative and if they can accommodate they are happy to do so.  You do pay £1 per night extra for hard standing, which was introduced a couple of years ago.  Also if you are over 60 and a club member you do get an age concession rate on sites, I am not sure of the percentage but something in the region of 20%.  Not always though, especially on their popular sites, e.g. Keswick in high season.

The thing I like about the other club is the fact they accept tents. I hate to see row upon row of caravans on hardstandings which many of the CC sites are becoming. Much prefer (in summer at least) grass pitches of caravans, tents & MH all interspersed thus you get a broader spread of age ranges as tent campers tend to be younger.  Some CC sites can be like a residential home for old people!
