I have been browsing the CC site in recent days, following a visit to South London, not far from the Crystal Palace site, to get some more information. We stayed with relatives on this trip but wondered about bringing our van down.
In my research I now see that the CC offer lots of tent pitches, looking further I see that camping pods are on offer on some sites, and even holiday cottages.
I was appalled.
i joined the club and paid my sub. for caravan and motorhome pitches. An occasional pup tent, no problem. Now the powers that be offer sites for tenters, for camping pods, even putting my sub. into supporting holiday cottages.
I think the Club is rapidly losing its way. It is THE CARAVAN CLUB. it is mainly financed by its members, their subscriptions and their pitch fees. Now we see an exhibition of corporate empire building, corporate greed and expansion. May be its not worth being a member any more, just use the CC as another commercial entity like commercial sites, hotels, holiday cottages etc. And stop the fiction, the pretence, that it is IN ANY WAY, a club for its members.
