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 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!
Write your comments here...Some sites can also be an invitation to hooligans..................in tents!

I think DSB is right,the cc is looking at ways to try to cut costs,one thing is they are cutting down on the hours wardens are paid to cover sites,and relief wardens travel times to and from sites,to try to absorb some of the add costs of the NLW from next year,And i would not be suprised if not next season, that some less popular sites have their season shortened,

They may be trying to cut costs which certainly look higher than the C&CC who seem to have increased their profitability over the past 3 years and overall look to be back in the black. One of their contributary factors seems to have been their flexible pricing policy. While it did cause a bit of an outcry on its introduction it appears to have had a positive effect on the bottom line. Perhaps the Club should be doing something similar, charging more for the popular sites at popular times and less for those not so popular. It could kill two birds with one stone, reducing the clamour for popular pitches and encouraging use of the less popular ones with hopefully an upsurge of use and increased profit??????

There we are then, if less popular sites became cheaper you could have some change to bribe them to go along with the idea.
