Things we like about the CMC

Without a doubt the best is the Excellent Head Office staff who answer the telephones. So professional, polite and helpful.--- The CMC sites are all of a similar standard, described as "good".----- The public lavatories and public showers on - site are cleaned to a "very good" standard, as are the water taps, chemical disposal area and drains. ------------ Head office has produced a excellent set of on- site rules to enable everybody to have a relaxing and safe holiday. --- There lies the challenge. ---- If those rules were enforced, there would never ever be any forum posts from disappointed customers advising of breaches of those rules spoiling their enjoyment. Unfortunately there are a fair number as seen on the forum.

So on the whole the CMC is a good retailer of goods and services, only one blip in their reputation. IMHO, a blip which could be easily fixed.

Over regulated ( but under enforced), overcrowded and over priced.

Whilst some club sites can be pricey during school holidays but then so can over there sites. 40 euros+/night in some places and what the advocates of all things 'over there' forget is the add on's.

On our recent 3 week trip over there our add on's totalled £652.95 before a wheel turned. That's for ferries and breakdown/insurance. So not us be quite so disingenuous in these discussions.

Some of us have to take our hold days in school holidays due to voluntary charity work so I resent your little jibe about organisation. You only have to look at Acsi to see the high season charges, even in Italy. Once again you ignore the point about addition cost before even setting out

If cost was the only factor, we'd use our vans on the drive at home. Water, electricity, Shower and loo facilities available. All the comforts of a CAMC site without the hassle of a peg.

Absolutely agree, CY, which makes me wonder why some folk keep banging on and on about the cost of sites! It's the "know the price of everything and the value of nothing" philosophy I guess!

we have used our van on the drive at home on many occasions for large gatherings where we invariably lose our bed to (non paying) guests....we quite like it....

as you say, CY, not a lot of difference between what we get on our drive and a pitch on a CC site.....although there are some advantages....

perhaps one of the reasons why we like Aires....?

weve got a HS (with gravel)....although I could choose grass......just like a Cc site.....

an EHU but at home I have the option not to use it at a reduced rate, so that's a bit more flexible

i can also park nose in, nose out or across the 'pitch' so another more flexible option

we have a 'site' shower,/lol by going through the front door....

but no wardens, no arrival times and (as CY says) no pegs....

if only all sites could be like this.....
