3. HOW TO BOOK

3.1 - When you submit the Booking to Us (whether by phone, post or electronically), this does not mean We have accepted your Booking for Services. Our acceptance of the Booking will take place as described in Clause 3.3. If We are unable to supply you with the Services, We will inform you of this and We will not process the Booking.

 

3.2 - When you book online, you must select your club site and pitch type, confirm occupants and confirm the price. Before payment is taken you will be asked to confirm acceptance of these Terms. If you identify an error in your online Booking, you can correct this by calling the contact centre on 024 7647 5426. The language offered for the conclusion of the contract online is English. A Booking confirmation will be sent to you on completion of the Booking. Members can review their Booking online by logging into the member's area.

 

3.3 - These Terms will become binding on you and Us when We provide you with booking confirmation for the Booking which will be in writing to you (booking confirmations are sent via email if an email address is held regardless of the method of Booking), at which point a contract will come into existence between you and Us.

 

3.4 - If any of these Terms conflict with any term of a Booking accepted by Us, the Booking will take priority.

 

3.5 - We shall assign a Booking number to the Booking and inform you of it when We confirm the Booking. Please quote the Booking number in all subsequent correspondence with Us relating to the Booking.

 

3.6 - The Camping and Caravanning Club is primarily for the purposes of recreational touring and as such, members of The Club have requested that we ensure our network of sites is being utilised for recreational touring purposes only. In view of this, the following policies are in place:

 

3.6.1 For the following sites: Hertford, Chertsey, Kelvedon Hatch, Theobalds, Walton on Thames, Horsley, Kingsbury Water Park, Clent Hills, Wolverley, Salisbury, Devizes, Cambridge and Drayton Manor campers are not permitted to stay for more than 28 consecutive nights, or 28 nights within one calendar month, either on the same site or those listed. Should this threshold be reached, they will be required to leave the site and the network as a whole, for a period of 5 consecutive nights. During this 5-night period, campers are not permitted to leave their unit or any other belongings on site; everything must be removed ahead of a return visit.

 

3.6.2 Where any camper is staying on the network for more than 60 nights within any 3-month period, the Club reserves the right to challenge a camper’s residential status, in the form of a valid council tax bill, to ensure they are using the network for the purpose in which it is operated.

 

3.6.3 Due to the continual monitoring of this policy, the Club reserves the right to challenge any camper’s residential status at any point, or on an annual basis, regardless of the site(s) they are staying at.
