What will I receive when I purchase one of these memberships?

The 5 year and Lifetime membership products secure your membership for either 5 years or a lifetime, depending on the product purchased. These limited edition memberships do not entitle you to any additional benefits over and above the significant savings offered by Club membership. Your membership will continue to renew yearly in the Club's renewal process with the normal yearly membership card being issued to you. There won’t be a 5 year or Lifetime membership card, your yearly membership card will continue to carry the 1 year expiry date but will automatically renew for the duration of the product you have purchased.

No these are the same memberships just paying forward for 5 years or Lifetime. The membership record would remain and would get renewed each year by the Club depending on which product was purchased.

What happens if I have just renewed my membership?

If you have just renewed, the membership subscription would be valid from your next renewal date in 12 months time.

Will you be pausing, refunding or cancelling memberships while campsites remain closed?

During these difficult times we believe the best thing we can do for the longevity of the Club, and the membership as a whole, is to ask members to support the Club by renewing their membership when it is due if they are able to. By renewing your membership it enables us to continue providing all the things you love and enjoy such as producing the monthly magazine; the Sites Directory and Handbook; keeping our Contact Centre open; investment in campsite redevelopments - including a significant upgrade to the broadband infrastructure; providing member offers for use when at home or touring - members saved £3m last year on items such as groceries, drinks, games, cars, pet food and clothing to name but a few as well as benefiting from the VAT discount when staying on-site.

We are hugely grateful to all the members who have continued to support the Club.

Can I cancel my 5 year or Lifetime Membership?

New members can have online access as little as one hour after joining online. Your email confirmation containing your membership number usually arrives within 48 hours of joining online.

Why should I get Caravan Cover?

Simply put, for peace of mind! Your caravan is most likely to be one of the most valued things you own. Which means, if your caravan was stolen or damaged, you could be left with a large financial loss, for either repairs or buying a replacement. Plus there is a risk of public liability claims. Car insurance can cover liabilities caused while towing, but once your caravan is detached any damage to property or injury to a person as a result of your ownership/use of the caravan would be your responsibility. And these liabilities have the potential to be very costly, which is why Caravan Cover provides liability cover up to £5m.

The Club has 50 years of experience in providing protection to its members and their caravans and we are a trusted membership organisation rated 9 out of 10 by our members for Caravan Cover claims handling - based on Caravan Cover Claims data 1 January to 31 December 2024. For more information on Caravan Cover or to get a quote please click here.

What should I do if I break down?

Switch off your engine and switch on your hazard warning lights. If you can easily get the vehicle to a safe place, please do so, but if this cannot be achieved, ensure you get yourself and any passengers to a safe place before you do anything else. If the problem has been caused by a major accident, call the emergency services first. Otherwise, simply use the Green Flag App* or call 0800 051 5318, ideally with your MAYDAY policy number to hand (not your Caravan and Motorhome Club membership number).

Click here to find the MAYDAY Policy booklet, which has more information on what to do should you break down.

What's the difference between caravan insurance and Caravan Cover from the Caravan and Motorhome Club?

The main difference between traditional caravan insurance policies and our Caravan Cover is that as we are a membership organisation we have been able to establish a product where all aspects of cover are dealt with by the Club.

For example we are responsible for all claims and can exercise discretion on claims settlements. This does not mean all claims will be paid - but you would be dealing with the Club rather than a third party organisation and so you can appeal directly to the Club if you feel your claim should be paid.

The Club takes on the liability for your caravan and we're able to do this because caravan insurance is voluntary, not legally required cover and the Club’s Caravan Cover is not an insurance product.

Are the website's online facilities accessible to joint members?

Joint members can register to use the Club’s online forum, Club Together, and write reviews. Only the Lead member can book sites online, use outfit matching, take out insurance and manage the membership.

How do I claim my £10 Club gift voucher?

Your friend/family member will need to add your membership number into the form to qualify for the £10 Club gift voucher. Your £10 Club gift voucher will then be posted to you.

How do I change my bank details with The Club?

Please call our membership line on 01342 318 813 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm and speak to one of our membership advisors.

Can’t the Club just absorb the additional rises in costs?

As a membership organisation, any surplus we make is reinvested back into the Club - for the benefit of all members. The small price rise is needed to ensure Club sites generates sufficient revenue for reinvestment - to maintain and improve the network in order to provide the high standard members expect.

In 2020 the Club are planning to invest up to £9m on redeveloping sites, examples of which include Penrhos Club Site in Anglesey, Battle Normanhurst Court in Hastings and River Breamish Club Site in Alnwick. In addition to this, a further programme of work will be undertaken across numerous sites costing in the region of £1.5m to keep the network in great condition ready for 2020 arrivals.

How will I access the site?

How do I book a CL?

Book your chosen CL directly with the owner by phone, email or on their own website and don’t forget to have your membership number ready. Please note you may be taken to a third-party website to complete your booking. Please don’t phone after 9 pm and try to book in advance, especially during busy periods. If you have any special requirements check before booking that the CL can accommodate these. If you have a large outfit make sure the CL owner knows when you book as the site and its approach roads may not be suitable.

I have been given some Club gift vouchers? I can't spend them. Can I have a refund?

Sorry, our gift vouchers are non-refundable. You can use your vouchers in exchange for a future campsite booking or a one-off membership.

When can I arrive/depart from a CL?

Arrange with the CL owner when you expect to arrive. If you are delayed on route, inform the campsite by phoning ahead to avoid losing your pitch or deposit. On arrival, present your membership card and the CL owner will show you where to pitch up. (A 3-metre radius around any part of your outfit needs to be followed for health and safety reasons.) You usually should leave by midday unless agreed otherwise with the CL owner.
