FAQs

Despite suffering losses of £10 million in 2020 due to Covid, the Club helped members stay for less by passing on fully the Government’s VAT reduction to members since it was first introduced in July 2020. By reducing the price you paid when staying at our UK Club campsites, we’ve helped members save over £12.5 million. 

From 1 April 2022, the VAT rate will revert back up to the pre-Covid level of 20%. As a result, the VAT price reductions we have passed on to members have come to an end. But remember there are many ways members can continue to save with the Club:

Save on UK Club campsite stays 

Save on touring products, services and activities 

Save on UK attractions and days out 

Save on touring essentials at Club Shop

Yes, you can cancel your stay at one campsite to then book another campsite during the same period. You won't be charged for late cancellation but we do ask that where possible, you do this with as much notice as possible so that your pitch can be freed up for another member.

If you 'check-out' from a campsite before your departure date, an early departure fee may apply. Please see our early departure policy here. Campsite fee refunds can only be issued by a warden at the time of departure.

You can book pitches a year ahead all year round. The Club intends to put pitches on sale towards the beginning of every month for the following year. The easiest way for members to remember, is that whichever month they are currently in, the same month for the following year (and all months in between) will normally be on sale.

There is currently no charge for amending or cancelling a UK booking. There is however, a 72 hour late cancellation policy and fees to leave early may be applied.

All campsites will have drinking water, chemical emptying and dry rubbish disposal. Over 80% of our CLs have electric hook-up, over 900 have some hardstanding pitches and toilets and approximately 540 sites have showers.

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.

Non-members are welcome to book and stay at many of the Club campsites, however there are some that are member-exclusive. This information is available on each individual campsite webpage. Members may bring friends or family too, as long as they stay for the same duration. 

Household pets like dogs and cats are welcome at all of our Club campsites.

No, the maximum time you can spend on a Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite is 14 to 21 nights. However, some campsites offer seasonal pitches where you can pay to leave your caravan for long periods of time and return as often as you like.

There are currently 149 campsites on our network that have Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi quality varies at each campsite and some can only offer a hotspot zone rather than ‘in-van’ connectivity. Please check out our Wi-Fi section for more detail.

We do not impose any hard data limits however due to the bandwidth available at some of our sites this may naturally prevent you from downloading data-hungry programmes.

Wi-Fi codes can only be used on one device at a time. When you log on to the Wi-Fi Welcome Back screen, using a different device with a Wi-Fi code already in use, you will be prompted and asked if you would like to take over the code. The original user's device will then be disconnected.

If the device is attempting to contact a https site, i.e. Google, Hotmail, then redirect to bbc.co.uk or sky.com, start your browser and attempt to connect to, for example, bbc.co.uk and you should be prompted to sign in.

A seasonal pitch is a pitch on one of our campsites which is rented out on a long term basis, for up to 7 months at a time. Pitches offered will be on either hard or grass surfaces depending on the campsite, and all have a bollard at the pitch to hook-up to your electric.

When you make a booking for a seasonal pitch, you are purchasing the whole period stipulated. Unfortunately we can't take part-duration bookings but we can take bookings for a pitch that becomes available after the start date of the seasonal pitch period. The fee will be prorated accordingly. The booking terms and conditions accompanying the booking form provide full details.

You can stay for up to 21 days as per our usual Club campsite rules. Make sure there's a minimum of 48 hours before you come back for your next stay, as our pitches are for recreational purposes only.

Your seasonal pitch fee covers you, another adult and any children up to the age of 17. If you'd like to invite more friends and family, you'll need to pay the fee per night for each extra adult.

Yes, please make sure you've disconnected the electric hook-up and stored the cable safely away. For safety, make sure your awning is taken down and any aerials or groundsheets are also put away when you leave.

Once you've filled out your booking form, you can pay using one of the following: Visa or Mastercard; a cheque made payable to the Caravan and Motorhome Club; one single payment made by direct debit; or four consecutive monthly direct debit instalments.

(Please see our terms and conditions for full details)

Depending upon occupancy levels in the storage compound, you may be given a selection of pitches to choose from. However, more often is the case that site staff will designate an appropriate space for the size of your outfit, particularly at storage sites that are close to full.

Many of our compounds have waiting lists and our teams on the ground work hard to maximise the space available so that we can fulfil the demand.

All gas supplies to the outfit must be isolated by turning the valve of all storage cylinders to the off position before entering the storage compound or storage area. This valve must be left off until the outfit has left the storage compound or storage area.

Whenever you wish to use the outfit for accommodation, you can transfer your vehicle from the storage compound/area to a pitch, subject to availability and payment of the normal touring pitch fees, paid directly to the Site Staff.

We recommend that you make a pitch booking in advance of your intention to stay overnight. You are responsible for transporting the outfit to and from your Storage Pitch.

With regard to storage and the towing of members’ outfits onto a pitch, The Club no longer offer this service as a rule due to possible damage that may be incurred and therefore liability falling on the Club.

Another reason why the Club cannot carry this service out is the issue of towing weights for caravans and if the tractor is plated to tow that weight, this has to be done by attaching the caravan to the tow ball and a number of sites will not have the correct weighted towing equipment.

This also applies to motorhomes, not only is it difficult to identify the total weight and attach to a suitable tow point, we do not have appropriate towing mechanisms or tractors that could pull these weights.

Payment of the storage fees can be made in one of the four following ways:

• In full by Visa or MasterCard
• In full by cheque made payable to the Caravan and Motorhome Club
• In full by one single payment by Direct Debit
• By four consecutive equal monthly Direct Debit instalments

Payment will be required to cover the period from the agreed start date until the advertised end date of the pitch and we will not be able to accept deferred payments.

When the Site Network re-opens, the storage compound or storage area will be open from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm each day during the summer season (mid-March – October) and from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm each day during the winter season (November – mid-March). During the winter if the site itself is closed and you will need to arrange access to the storage compound or storage area with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice.

We cannot speak for individual insurances and would recommend that you get in contact with your outfit’s insurance provider to discuss potential storage arrangements as part of your decision making process.

Some insurances use a postcode risk factor and you may find your cost increases or decreases according to how much risk that insurer associates with the postcode area the site is in.

You should always make sure that you have adequate insurance protection against events which could happen to your caravan at any time, this includes whilst in a storage compound e.g. flood, theft or damage.

If a third party were to damage your outfit whilst it is in the storage compound you may be able to recover the cost of any repair from the negligent third party provided adequate proof is available and they accept liability.
