I picked the Caravan Club because that was the one our friends were in. Personally I think they are much of a muchness.

There is not a universal "best" club to belong to, one size fits all,it depends on what you want.
Like trevor we belong to both and have done for 30 plus years and joining both and importantly using what they offer for one or better two years is the "best" advice you can be given. Then you will know their strengths and weaknesses but more importantly what suits your needs. If you make good use of them then like us you might be stuck with both!

We like both clubs, in some area you will find the C.C.C. and C.C. near each other, one area will look better than the other it just a matter of choice, Enjoy it

Like Trevor and JTQ, we joined both and still belong to both. We sometimes find that we use one more than the other but it probably evens out. The C&CC offer "Family deal" prices and also over 55 discounts at most times of the year so that might prove useful for you.

we belong to both - although this year have used CC far more. CC do not ask for deposits whereas CCC do. We were hit this year when we had to cancel Scarborough at Whitsun due to family health problems and they now operate a loss of deposit system. (Previously they held your deposit to use for future bookings) so not liking to lose money we tend to use CCC for last minute weekends and CC for booking ahead. The magazines for both clubs are fab though so well worth the membership fee and you do get a broader choice of sites with both. I would say however that the online booking system for CC is far superior to CCC.

I have been a member of the CC for nearly 35 years and the C&CC for just 5. However, I rarely use their sites as we spend all our time in the Med, however I do use them for ancillary services. I currently use the C&CC for insuring the van but not CC as they can be very expensive. One thing to note with both Clubs is that discounts will be offered to 'new customers' so chopping and changing can pay dividends. Loyalty means nothing nowadays I am afraid.
The annual fee amounts to about 3 pounds per month, not a lot in the greater scheme of things
Although there has defintely been in increase in people using UK sites this year, Isuspect that fads will change and a few wet summers will get people back to the Costas again, so pitches will become more easily available again. However, there are certain sites where you almost need to be related to someone to get a pitch, not really the ones you want to visit.
