The "other" club

I,as a pensioner think that the membership price difference is significant!I do agree that they both have their uses.

It’s the "Friendly Club".

In 46 years of membership I’ve not had occasion to disagree with that.

Their forum's rubbish though, even judging by CT standards, but my biggest gripe is the minimum night booking restriction at certain times.

I am too but the CAMC does mid week and all inclusive £15 sites so between them I think they balance out. 

quality is in the eye of the beholder and only you, or the OP, can make that choice, if it seems better quality and/or value then go for it.

We've always belonged to both clubs - C&CC goes back to our tenting days. Both clubs have their advantages, belonging to both certainly gives more choice of location. On the whole I do think CAMC sites have slightly better pitches and facilities, but the other club are catching up fast as far as provision for vanners is concerned. Indeed some of their sites we've stayed on in the past couple of years are every bit as good as CAMC sites. (And yes, the age discount is a factor, though it's not a deal breaker for us! )

we make very good use of their THS (temp holiday sites) as they are often close in to town centres and don't need to be booked. many tour from one to another without the need to commit, also pay on departure, also very good value at £6-10 a night.

well stop using it.

When people talk of brand loyalty like this then they usually mean that they wish they the price of the long serving brand wasn't as expensive as the other product but they want to continue, why do they want to? Better something? quality? Otherwise why even say that, how long you have used something should play no part in buying another (if the only thing that has changes is price)   

Caravan Club £52 membership or Camping and Caravan £45. No big deal to me. 

camping club £39.00 .caravan club £52.00.That is nearly a bottle of Gordons (in England!)

I am seriously considering it!
