This number equates to 778,000 individual members of the Club.

From June 2020 to June 2021, more than 45,000 new households joined the ranks, setting another record for annual membership increase, which exceeded the target the Club had set by a considerable margin.

The Club’s Director General Sabina Voysey said: “After a difficult 2020, I’m delighted the Club has enjoyed unprecedented growth this year. The staycation message in the media has hit home and as well as reaching our highest ever membership – a major milestone for us – bookings on our campsite network have broken records for June.”

The magazine team is keen to hear from newcomers to the Club about their first experiences of camping with us. If you’re new to it all and would like to share your stories of your first season in the field, get in touch with our Community Editor Pete McKenna by emailing magazine@myccc.co.uk
