The Camping and Caravanning Club is a not-for-profit membership organisation with over 600 staff and a turnover of more than £50 million.
The club's governing body is the National Council, comprising 18 elected councillors, 15 appointed councillors, 7 section advisory officers, the chair of the National Youth Committee, and the honorary treasurer, a total of 42 individuals, all of whom are members.
[5] The club is split into 13 regions across the UK, each made up of a number of district associations (DAs).
Certificated sites (CSs) are small campsites that can accommodate up to five caravans or motorhomes and up to ten tents at any one time.
The club is recognised as an "exempted organisation" by the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, which allows the club to issue certificates to landowners, giving them permission to operate a small campsite on their land without specific planning permission.
