Is Camping & Caravanning Club Membership Worth It? | Practical Caravan

NO

This is rubbish . Site fees have gone right up average site is around £6 more than a private site and it costs you £53 for the privilege of paying more for your campsites .we certainly won't be rejoining

Not worth it. At 6pm everyone disappears to watch Corry or read Mills and Boon. No atmosphere, expensive, difficult to get a booking, as all the pensioners book a year up front without having to make a deposit. In summary, "Quality, Car Park style Morgues". One positive is that the Team do help you to book trips abroad when coordinating site and ferry bookings. We have found that independent sites and use of PitchUp enables us to go away when we want to and for much cheaper. No need to pay someone to mow the grass 3 x per day. One year membership was enough.

So not really an 'Is it worth it' video, more an advert for the 3C's.

Will not be renewing this year due to being overpriced for a family. If I am taking my unit why should you have to pay per person and the dog when we all in the same pitch?

As someone has already mentioned, the district associations (DA) are the biggest cost saver, and you are not even tied down to visiting one da's arranged holiday areas

Since motorhomes have joined the Club,it's almost impossible to book a full week anywhere as there's always a MH booking 2-3 days in the middle of a week.Also the Club has become even more cliquey (if that was possible!)We ended up paying for a magazine only,and that was full of overpriced "Gucci" kit,and holidays that were completely out of the range of your average vanner.

We have been members of both at one qtime or another, and I really dont know why. We only use their sites at the start and end of the season, and every so called offer regarding insurance, equipment and the like are always more expensive. Not renewing membership next year.

The cost of the clubs now is obscene... a pitch for 2 kids and 2 adults on a busier weekend can peak at over £50!!! You can get hotels for not much more, it's obscene. And the amenities arent modern enough to justify it. Pre COVID it was £30-odd - classic price gouging.

I wouldn't call this rare video from PC a balanced view. In fact it gives no negatives which their are many.

You’ve totally failed to mention the biggest benefit of being a member of the Camping & Caravanning Club, access to all the District Association weekend meets and Temporary Holiday Sites (THS); camping off grid from as little as £10 per unit night! Much cheaper than the extortionate fees charged to camp on a club site. Members can find out details of all meets and THSs by accessing the Out & About app, or the paper supplement.

If you don't mind paying for the pitch as well as per person per night on top of the yearly fee then fill your boots. The CCC and the CaMHC both do the same rip off charges, thats why I didn't renew my membership and stick to independant sites where you pay for the pitch per night
