Five-star caravan clubs on the rise, Visit Britain figures show

Visit Britain provide the Tourist Board ratings system by which attractions are judged

Nearly one in five of the sites run by the Camping and Caravan Club (CCC) have now been given five stars on the Tourist Board ratings from Visit Britain.

In another successful year for the club, both its Delamere Forest site in Cheshire and its Cannock Chase site in Staffordshire have been given five stars, taking its number of top-rated caravan holiday destinations up to 19, out of a total of 109 across the UK.

At the same time, Bakewell, Dartmoor Barley Meadow, Derwentwater and Tavistock have all been given four stars by Visit Britain, meaning 83 per cent of the CCC’s network now boasts either a four or a five-star status.

Welcoming the news, director Bob Hill said: “This is not just great news for the individual sites but also for the club as a whole, which is continuing to move from strength-to-strength.

“These ratings provide the reassurance campers and caravanners need about what to expect before they arrive.”

Other five-star sites include Hereford, Barnard Castle, Scarborough and Windermere.

This comes soon after the CCC announced that 24 of its sites are to remain open over the Christmas and New Year period.
