Interesting Article about the C&CC

C&CC have had statics for quite a long time. Most are for owner occupation but a few are rented out for self catering at Alton and Cheddar.

We know a static caravan owner and they have theirs on a very large site in Shropshire.

The site's rule is the same as C&CC's. Units must be replaced or removed after 15 years.

I think it’s pretty usual. The pic is of vans for sale on a newly redeveloped site in Cornwall. Note the length of the licence.

Their much more expensive lodges have a 30 year licence.

How does forced removal/replacement of caravans sit with sustainability and the clubs ESG policies and ethos? 

They have lots of statics on their Windermere CCC Site. We have stayed there a couple of times but it really is too far away from Windermere town itself (20+ mins of a walk to the nearest bus stop) 

They have lots of statics on several sites - see the links. To be clear, I only named the sites where the vans are rented out by C&CC or their franchisee. 

Over the years we’ve watched the number of statics increase on the Scone site from just the few that were there when C&CC took over the site to the many they have now. No doubt that will further increase when the glamping tents go.

We spent the 'MayDay Week', up at Conkers C&CC site, with a group of friends.  I noticed they had removed the 'glamping tents'.  When I was speaking to one of the site staff, they said they had removed the 'glamping tents' from all C&CC sites and had no plans to replace them.  Apparently, most of them had 'got to a certain age!!  Perhaps we will see an increase in static caravan/ mobile home pitches??

Over the years we have been a fairly regular visitor to the C&CC Cambridge site and they had Glamping Tents. Can't say they ever looked over occupied? Be interesting to know what is most popular in the "Experience Freedom" portfolio of units. Personally I wouldn't hire any unit without its own bathroom!

We notice, while we were passing, that they had gone from their Milarrochy Bay site too, David.

Somewhat ironic that the Camping and Caravan Club have got rid of Glamping Tents but the Caravan and Motorhome Club continues with theirs?
