FAQs

How long can you stay on a caravan and camping club site? ›

A Certificated Site, or CS as we refer to them, are small, privately run campsites operated exclusively for members of the Club. CSs can take a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes at any one time for up to 28 consecutive days, allowing space of six metres between each unit.

Non-members may join on site and are also permitted to stay in a member's unit upon payment of a one-off Guest Fee. Please ensure you have your membership card with you as proof of membership.

The Camping and Caravanning Club is a not-for-profit membership organisation for camping and caravan enthusiasts in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1901, and has over 730,000 members.

Our founder was Thomas Hiram Holding – the founder of modern camping. In 1853, he travelled across America with his parents as part of a wagon train and this fostered his lifelong love of camping.

Technically it can only be there temporarily, so you must then apply for planning permission if you wish to live in it permanently. There are also residential caravan parks which allow year-round residence too – though they have to be correctly licensed to do so.

For us, the main advantage of the C&CC is that you can book hardstandings. Advantage of the CAMC is that there are more sites to choose from in the CAMC (almost twice as many Club sites), the quality of the sites are generally better, and to have the option of full serviced pitches (I don't think the C&CC have them).

To avoid the spread of fire, there must be at least 6 metres spacing between facing walls of adjacent caravans, motorhomes or trailer tents and a minimum clear space of 3 metres between adjoining cars/awnings/tents and other items (including windbreaks) in any direction.

Visitors are welcome on site, we ask that there are no more than 2 adult visitors (and any associated children) per pitch.

Membership gives you a wide range of discounts, friendly support and advice no matter your level of expertise, our award-winning monthly magazine as well as tailored insurance and breakdown products.

It's also really sensible as you will have experts and advice 'on tap' should there be an issue with your vehicle. You'll be able to speak to people who have been through the exact same problem, as well as people who could actually help you fix it, get it fixed or source the parts that will ensure it can be fixed.

Who is the head of the Camping and Caravanning Club? ›

The Camping and Caravanning Club is delighted to announce wildlife cameraman, author and broadcaster Hamza Yassin has been appointed its new President. Hamza, who won Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, takes over from TV presenter and author Julia Bradbury following ten years in the post.

You don't need to be a member to stay, but there are great benefits to joining, like exclusive access to over 1,200 smaller, Certificated Sites, tucked away in spots from the quiet to the quite spectacular.

Founded in 1907 as the Caravan Club and now known as the Caravan and Motorhome Club, we're Europe's biggest touring community, helping caravanners, motorhomers and campers access over 3000 stunning locations in the UK and Europe.
