Dont know if this has threaded before but was going to book in at Kinkell Braes in St Andrews on Sunday night. £30.... I declined on principle, another site at nearby craigton would not take dogs, so went south to lovely Crail in south Fife

Got me thinking, where is the most expensive site?....

£150 for two nights?

It's a dump ( especially the touring area).

You would need ropes to get me back there for even £30 a night.

Stopped at Sandy Balls last year. Place is a disgrace now. Used to be run by a family who really took pride in the place. They'd even mow the lawn, rake it and trim the bushes while you had a complimentary coffee and then see you comfortably into your allocated slot :thumb:

Place never used to flood as the drains were always swept clear too, but guess what...the family got old and sold it on :cry:

So the last time I stopped there it rained and flooded to about 6 inches. All the drains were blocked too. Poor family in a tent behind me flooded out :cry:

To add insult to financial injury, you have to vacate by 1000!!! What's that all about. I haven't even eaten my bacon butty by 1000hours!! :Eeek:

I enquired as to a later departure and informed that if I pay another fee, I can stay until 1400hours :Angry:

Cheeky blighters even have the cheek to keep inviting me back again....far too expensive for a late Friday arrival, only to be turfed out by 1000 on a Sunday morning!!

Who pays these sort of prices , I know we have had all this before but it never ceases to amaze me, I know we all like motorhomeing for its own sake but when you could have an all inclusive holiday for less it just don't make any sense to me, I would baulk at £140 a week never mind a day:Eeek:

Italy can be real expensive but what do you expect camping in the lakes which are the equvilant of Beverley hills hills!lol just as touristy and the most beuitiful area in Italy IMO Tuscany on the other hand, plenty of good campsites for appox 30 euro a night....France , use municipals, UK, CC certified 5 place sites....simples:)
