I'm a member of both CC & C&CC for access to their excellent sites. We use a caravan, and I use a tent for backpacking so the C&CC sites are very useful.

I've been to a number of the C&CC Folk Section rallies but they weren't to my taste. I prefer British traditional music & singing, hairy ceilidhs and lots of proper beer. Without wishing to sound precious, the Folk Section rallies I've been just don't float my boat I've found them all a bit twee and it's very unlikely I would go to another one.

I used the Caravan Club Sidmouth Folk Festival rally a couple of times just to get access to their temporary site. I was amazed how few people actually went into Sidmouth during the folk week, they all seem very happy to stay on their site and have their own entertainment - which certainly couldn't be described as folk.

The mountain section don't seem to cater for those who get into the mountains, when I mentioned 'Wild Camp' I got a quizzical look in reply.

Can't comment on other sections. Having said all that, I find both actual clubs to be good and I wouldn't consider not being a member of both.

These are MY opinions gleaned from MY experience, others WILL have different views.
