Technically speaking, I believe I'm right in saying they don't charge a "Non-Members Fee".
The non-members price is the standard price... but the members get a discount!
Clever eh?
The pricing is different now (and impossible to work out) but they always used to charge a Non Members per night fee on top of the normal member prices
I have however booked 7 nights at one of their sites tonight :) Roll on summer

I got that from a post I remember reading on here a few years back, so apologies if it's not correct. Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the internet! LOL!
Have you booked any nights in May yet, or are you still waiting for your exam dates?
I thought I would chuck my humble opinion in the ring...I joined the c and c club mainly for the prime locations of a lot of their sites-especially Keswick. You also receive a decent monthly magazine with pictures of new tents to admire and pictures of caravanners to laugh at . Members can get discounts at camping shops etc but also on ferries should this appeal to you.
I have made my (our) membership pay for itself in savings over non-membership for the last few years. Not really a big expense if you use their sites regularly and you can earn vouchers off your own camping fees if you introduce a new member!! Right...form a queue and I shall introduce you all
We joined 8 years ago and have never regretted it. Good sites and never had a problem on them.
More expensive?? Sometimes but I can recoup any difference and my annual fee through the discounts at Cotswold Outdoor 15%, and Go Outdoors 10%.

As I understood it when I was a member, a non-member pays a pitch fee plus a fee per person whereas a member doesn't have to pay the pitch fee, just the person fee, so it is cheaper. Whether members pay less or non-members pay more is irrelevant.
I think when I was a member some years ago now, a solo camper with age concession, I was paying about £9 a night. However, I found I could camp at non-club sites for pretty much the same or only a pound or two more. So, assuming for example, I would pay £12 a night at a non-club site instead of £9 a night (£3 difference) I would have to camp at a club site on about 13 occasions to recover the £39 membership fee.
To put it another way...if I camp for 13 nights at a non-club site costing £12 a night I will pay a total of £156.
If I camp 13 nights at a club site costing £9 a night I will pay £117. Good eh? But wait a minute...I've had to pay a membership fee of £39 up front which makes...yup you've guessed it £156.
I found I couldn't camp at club sites for 13 nights because there weren't club sites at all the places I wanted to visit so I had to pay for non-club sites as well, so I was forking out even more money.
Then I lost a deposit at a club site because the weather turned bad at the last minute and I couldn't go, so when I added up the total camping costs for the year as a club member it worked out far more expensive than I would pay by simply using non-club sites and not having to pay a membership fee (or lose a non-refundable deposit).
