caravan club bookings (1 Viewer)

[Chris]

We decided last night to hack it down to Spain for Easter, rather than pay CC club prices.

Having said that it will cost us more

Have to agree it is expensive - £357 for 14 nights in Edinburgh but we want to go to the festival. Will probably be the only CC booking or stay we make this year - we like Britstops, CLs and Aires and Stellplatz

I appreciate you may want site facilities but there is a month long Temporary Holiday Site by the C & CC at Dalkeith Country Park when the Festival is on. We had best part of a week this year at £8 per night. Bus stop at the gates £4 return to the centre of the city.

Expensive?no ! Vfm yes! ....bad service never from either club in 30yrs. ..

But Khizzie, as you said, better value if you are old and single...........

I can't agree with you otherwise . As for service, most people on this thread appear to be complaining about the booking system! and that is before they have actually got to site

So true chocksaway...it is cheaper for me ,I don't understand why some people have problems booking online,I am 71 yrs old,not very clever with the internet,but manage to book CC&C and CC sites with no great issues. ..must be my magic touch on the steam driven keyboard.haha

What's this thread about, never been in cc, do you have to book this far in advance for next year,I'm in ccc, but never even thought about booking till the day before I'm going to get there, never found a full one , and going on the prices I saw this year don't think I will be going on any this year, have a look here

More sites than you can shake a stick at without your upfront 50 quid.

Mind we were there last weekend and were evacuated on Saturday afternoon because of the River level, so maybe its not too bad that we couldn't book, does any one know if we will get a rebate?
I doubt it!

Hold my hands up and apologies to the Caravan Club. we did get a refund!

Theres a nice wee basic CL just nest to the Ski slope on the outskirts of Edinburgh with various buses running 24hrs to the city. The site is Damhead has hook up, toilet and waste disposal just no shower, we use it often and only £10 or £12 a night depending when.

As regards service from the CC, we have only ever had good from which ever site we went on when we had the caravan. Same now with the Moho. We had to evacuate Rowntree park last Saturday evening, the poor old wardens running around, ringing people up etc. Also they had to move there vans up to higher part of the site. Got a phone call yesterday saying that they was refunding one nights fee to us
Can't get fairer than that can you.
Ps. They said they was hoping to reopen next week around the14/12/2015, but said to call 1st....

Do I get a special award because I've stayed in three different CC sites in the last two weeks?

The one near Wellington was just £11.50 a night but it is essentially an aire with no loo block - but it had really friendly and helpful wardens so I can live with the price hike above a French aire. The most expensive was near Uxbridge inside the M25 at £18.50 which I don't consider extortionate given the immaculate facilities it had.

But of course if all you want is a square of tarmac CC sites may not be for you which is why in Europe we often use aires. Unfortunately, these are scarce in England.
