Caravan Club and/or Camping and Caravaning Club?

Darn it we had two I saved from a church in Boston but left them behind when moved out here.

 

Was gonna say, it's the new pampas grass!

 

We joined the Caravan Club in 2008 when we had a big new caravan.

There is no difference in attitude from other campers or wardens now we have an old camper.

The rules mean you get no loud, foul-mouthed drunken louts who leave their Marmite all over the place.

I can't see a downside but others may want something else.

 

The downside is that club sites are often full of families which means kids.

 

Another vote for camping and caravan club. We like the tiny 5 pitch site with a basic toilet and water tap.
We're in one now and it's run by a farmer and his wife.
Absolutely no rules as we're the only ones there.
It's got very expensive now though, last year it was £6 a night for both of us and the van and dog, now it's shot up to £7.

We've found loads of little out of the way places by looking in the map book you get sent.
You get an option to have everything online or actual books and magazines. Go for the real paper option, it means you can still find sites and phone numbers even if you can't get online.

 

Is the C&CC good with dogs?

As we'd be taking ours each time, so no good if most of the sites aren't dog friendly.

 

we belong to the C&CC and whilst only been to two of their sites both allowed dogs, I'm sure you will be able to dial in 'dog friendly site' on their website search

 

Both clubs take dogs and they dont charge

 

That's good to know. Can't understand why places charge extra for dogs. Unless it's a deterrent!

 

At least its a living entity unlike an awning that takes no more space up as its on your pitch anyway.

 

Yrs we used the CL sites a lot, was on one in Diss when Daina was murdered.

 

Yes we used the CL sites a lot, was on one in Diss when Daina was murdered.

We use to pay £3.

 

Another Vote for C & CC - the sites are always clean and tidy especially the toilets and showers - which some smaller sites are poor on - and safety is excellent with 6 metres between units. They do an excellent Campervan fest at their Eskdale site and have a similar weekend there at Halloween - very well organised. Yes there will be kids but we try to stick to midweek during school times.

 

Yes they even provide free wipes

 

Sweet! Gets my vote!

 

Adults only can be good , if you cant cope with rules dont complain when you get Marmitee neighbours

 

What wives?

 

God no , one of them is enough.

 

I think that with the coming of the inter web, both clubs have had their day.
Back in the olden days, the only way to find a camp site in a given location was by reference to the great 'Book of Lies'
as supplied by either club. Now it's a two minute search and you can check/verify the descriptions.
I remember going to many a site described as 'slightly sloping' or 'a little teeny bit shady' and being mildly disappointed
by the non traditional use of adjectives.

 

Mildly dissapointed, is that an example of a non traditional use of an adjective?
