I'm also solo, can I ask what price you average per day.

£12ish

 

[charliesgrandad]

No I don't. I mean CAMC Rallies with our local centre not club sites.

You don't have to book or pay in advance for CCC rallies you just turn up.

Sorry I must learn to read posts properly before I comment , I often get a bad attack of "foot and mouth"

Reading your post again you did say rallies

 

[Khizzie]

£12ish

That's roughly what I pay as a member of C&CC and getting a discount for being an old git .. Think I pay a lot more on CMC but I don't use that club quite as much..

I dream of being able to join such wonderful clubs so I can pay to be shown exactly I must park for the night and which way my van must point and how far I am allowed to park from little white pegs.

I also understand that the wardens will kindly instruct one as to when you are making too much noise and at what time you can fire up your engine if you choose to leave.

But trying to go to sleep when the excitement of joining a queue of strangers to have a shower in the morning keeps me awake.

Sadly my inheritance is not large enough to be able to cover the yearly subscriptions AND the site fees for each night, so I will just have to fend for myself, often all on my lonesome, in wild, often remote, locations of this wonderful world of ours...

Ahh what a sheltered life you do lead Which decade did you dream all this up about.

It depends very much on where, when and whether you have ehu.

I have paid as little as £6 a night on c&cc sites and as much as £18 on c&mhc sites and everything in between. CLs seem to be about £14 regardless of number of people.

 

[JJ]

Which decade did you dream all this up about.

Several decades ago Mr Khizzie, several decades.

Several decades ago Mr Khizzie, several decades.


JJ

Ah ! Thought so, as it bears no resemblance to my observations of these clubs in my decade.

Mr Khizzie... what I (jokingly) "dreamed" and what I have subsequently learnt (much more recently) from my people and experienced Funsters are very different things...

JJ

 

[sweetie]

A member of both clubs for 20 years use club sites use CL’s and CS and THS why would I want to drop them. The more of you dropping them leaves more room for the people that appreciate them.

 

[Eggs]

£12ish

We're about the same, I'm paying £11 on a CS, with showers and toilets. I'll over winter here.

Ahh Mr JJ, I have only been a member of the clubs for ten years and an a funster for three years alas So I bow to your superior knowledge..

 

[Charente16]

We are ACIS members for touring in europe, but belong to the 'C&MHC' although resident in France. Why you may ask when we live in France.

Simply because although a Club in' Name Only'; you have to join a 'local group' and contribute to your 'local' whether it is Rallyes, or whatever. Unfortunately, living where we do in 'la France profunde' this is not so easy.

Having family and friends still in the UK, we appreciate the C&MC sites when we visit and the quality/standards ie Wardens of the sites we have stayed at. We have to mention one exemplery site which doesn't get much mention as there are no 'facilities' and is difficult to find courtesy of the County Council, or whatever it calls it's self these days. Sign posts are either horizontal or facing into fields! Anyway, namely High Onn near Newport, Salop. A give away to my age.............

The reason we remain members, although not annual visitors to the UK, is that we feel we are 'contributing' by the way of our annual subscription to the 'Club' even though we may forgo the benefits ever so often by virtue of lack of visits to the UK or domicile. When we do use the sites and facilities as 'foreigners' as perceived by many 'members' in our French registered vehicle, we appreciate the money that that has been ploughed back into the sites for the benefit of all members, whether UK resident or us 'Foreigners!

Surely this thread is for members of MotorHomeFun...

[Cal54]

I’m in the same position as @Janine i.e. solo, however I also have the advantage of being of an age that gets me an old f**ts discount. For this reason I tend to use predominantly CCC sites as they work out cheaper and always a good standard. Infact they are often a lot cheaper than most Cl’s and Cs’, who price on the assumption of 2 adults.
I make less use of the CMC as it is dearer (no age concession) but they do have a few sites that I like to visit each year so will renew with them also.

indeed it is JJ.. with this question >>

it would be interesting to know how many funsters are not going to renew their membership this year.

I've just paid £10 a night in the Cotswolds on a Cmc site and when my partner joined me it was an extra £5 so for £15 for two not bad.
Having said that it all depends on time of the year and week which influences the charge.

 

[bobandjanie]

For many years we have been members of the camping and caravan club, and use their THS and CSs and for the last 5 years we have only been in the UK for max 6 weeks, last year we was in the UK for 2 months and joined the motorhome and caravan club again purely because they have a better CL net work in places we needed to be, so in both clubs gave us the convenience of being able to pick and choose and be where we wanted, so although expensive we very rarely use club sites and when we leave we give our membership to friends then they enjoy the benefits.
Next year we probably won't join any because we might not come back, and if we do it will not be for long. Bob.

[carolyn]

Member of both. Joined CMC just for the Crystal Palace site as daughter lives near Oval cricket ground and one son Elephant and Castle. Both in shared flats so saved our membership many times over when visiting them.
C&CC for THS and both for their many discounts. Youngest needed a rucksack, shopped around, Clarks village plus C&CC 15% another years membership saved.
I feel I get good value for money from both so happy to pay and that's what matters to me so perfectly ok to carry on calling it a club.

 

[robert groves]

Definitely will renew ours. You know what you are getting, a decent sized pitch, superb toilet block and wardens that are nice and friendly. Now bollocks if you disagree with that.

Ok for those that can afford it !

Definitely would renew. Their sites are run to a consistent, high standard and you know what to expect when you book. Mostly friendly hard-working wardens....there’s always the occasional grumpy exception! They have an excellent, DEPOSIT FREE, online booking system that allows you to cancel up to 72 hours beforehand without consequences. Underused I suspect but they have a large range of excellent Members’ Offers including genuine new car discounts negotiated with manufacturers. For years I have bought cars by hard negotiation with a dealer but I recently bought a car, which with the special September manufacturer incentive saved 21% off list. A massive saving. The car came to me through their fleet division but is eligible for normal servicing and warranty at any main dealer. Perhaps the main point is it was hassle-free. I didn’t have to go through a friend of a friend or other devious route. They gave a phone number that went straight through to the right person in this multi-national organisation. Impressive! I wouldn’t have thought of going that route until a CMC employee told me about the Members Offers when I visited the M & C Show a couple of years ago. They have lots of far less “sizeable” offers too! Their monthly magazine is pretty good too. For some reason people complain about the loose advertising inserts. If they’re of no interest, usually the case, just bin them.

The very reason we chose not to join this lot!

 

[Beemobile]

I will be renewing, deposit free is a great incentive to plan and book in advance.
The pitches are huge, facilities wonderful, help and information of the area you stay in is very good, nothing is too much trouble for the staff who I've always found courteous and smiley.

P.S.. Happy Christmas Everyone.

[Caggsie1]

I too will be renewing, love the no deposits, new booking system. As a teacher I am able to pre book holidays as I know when I am off work but have to pay the premium of school holiday periods. Most of my bookings were made in Dec when the booking system opened for the following year. I am one of those people that are berated on here for clogging up the system! In 10 years membership I have had the need to cancel twice, and not because the weather wasn’t to our liking. If your aware of a system, use it to your advantage.

 

[Deleted member]

I will definitely be renewing, some great sites in good locations e.g, Crystal Palace which we use quite a lot. It’s an unrivalled site ditto other city sites like Bristol, York & Edinburgh. Some fab CLs as well e.g Stourhead where you can have the place to yourselves in winter. I’m not too keen on the regimented routine on their sites and toilets being closed for cleaning at inconvenient times, but the pros outweigh the cons.

 

[funflair]

Never use their sites but still renewing as we save a fortune each year booking ferries through them.
