CCC for decades, never experienced any authoritarian site managers, always helpful, relaxed, & very knowledgeable about the local area.
Done loads of DA meets, I'm still in South Yorkshire DA (never changed when we moved) and their Olivers Mount meet at Scarboro is always a favourite.
On the other hand, when pitching with friends at a Caravan Club site, we were told (not asked) to take the awning down and move the entire unit a foot to one side, reminiscent of Basil Fawlty's 'Moose' episode... "...anything else dear? I mean, would you like the hotel moved a bit to the left, or..."
We love Clumber Park but its a CC site and as non-members we have to pay a surcharge. I really wish the two clubs would come up with some sort of mutual discount agreement - they could each at least drop the non-member surcharge if you're a member of 'the other' club.
The van is insured through CCC 'Clubcare', I find their rates are very reasonable.
Cheers
Phil
