Club facts
Membership of The Caravan Club currently stands at 360,000 families, representing around 1 million caravanners, motor caravanners and trailer tent owners.
Including Site Wardens there are over 800 staff, with 250 at Head Office in East Grinstead. The Club's annual turnover is £86 million. The Club has no borrowings and finances all expenditure from revenue and reserves.
The Club was formed in 1907 by ten men and one woman, and must be one of the very few organisations that has had the same title and aims ever since.
The Wanderer caravan was the first purpose-built leisure caravan made in 1885. It still exists and is owned by The Caravan Club. There is a picture of Wanderer on the Press Photo Gallery page.
Membership grew slowly until 1939 when it stood at 1057. It had doubled by 1945 and reached 10,000 in 1954. The 100,000 milestone was reached in 1971 and 250,000 in 1982.
Club members own a total of 500,000 cars, making The Club a major customer of the motor trade.
The Club provides 18 million bed nights per annum - more than many major hotel chains.
On average Club members spend £40 per family per day on local purchases such as fuel, eating out, visiting local attractions and buying food and clothing. This means that Club members spend more than £270 million every year in the local economy.
On average there is a Caravan Club badged Site for every 30 square miles of Great Britain.
Over the last six years The Club has invested over £66 million on its Sites, the majority of which was spent with local building contractors, landscapers and other trades.
Every year The Caravan Club's Overseas Travel Service make reservations for over 30,000 member families who travel abroad.
