Just booked for brighton at easter £105 for 3 nights its getting very expensivePrices have gone up though
The problem is that some people book numerous trip on the off chance they may want to go, blocking the dates for others.Yes. Got to agree about the infrastructure, but not keen on the deposit thing.
Being from Yorkshire
And anything can happen in the run up to your booking.....

I agree if i had the time i would be on an aire or acsi site in france at a fraction of the cost but only having 3 days we decided to stay in the uk being bank holiday it can be very hard to get a pitch on any site at a good rate roll on june when i will be in franceI spent the second two weeks of September and all of October in France on aires, many had EHU and superb quite locations alongside canals and rivers like the Loire. In total I spent just over £200. I know its not an exact comparison but I simply wouldn't consider spending £105 for three nights, wherever it was.
There may come a time when don't want to go over the water and then it will be CL's and Caravan Club basic sites without facilities which are mostly £12 per night.
I understand that for one reason or another some prefer proper sites and of course it goes without saying that I wish you a great time, I am just highlighting how expensive CC site are in comparison to doing your own thing.

My point exactly.9am this morning tried to book start Bay...for 2nd June...fully booked for three months ..cant believe that anyway got in to hillhead so pleased with that. Managed to book every cc&c site though with no problems.. Reason ,they take a deposit..good idea as I bet a fair few of those that block booked start bay and other sites will cancel later.

you pays your money and takes your choice ,there's not much difference between a CC site and. CC&C site except as a solo camper CC&C sites are that much cheaper for me..You can stay on 'proper sites' without extortionate prices. I stayed at a site in Cornwall last summer that had split from the CC because he didn't like the way they dictated the charges he had to apply. Everything was 'extra' He charged £15 a night for everything, even dogs!
At the end of the day, you have forked out a large wedge for a motorhome, you just want somewhere to park it!
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but I came to this post to see if anything was going to change my opinion of CC sites, but actually it's just reinforced it.

Mind we were there last weekend and were evacuated on Saturday afternoon because of the River level, so maybe its not too bad that we couldn't book, does any one know if we will get a rebate?
I doubt it!
Crikey! reading this thread reinforces the notion that 'we' in Britain are captive and held to ransome by these clubs simply because there is little alternative. The prices charged are tantamount to extortion and trade upon the fact that 'where else can you go?'
It is of course the law of supply and demand and whilst people continue to subscribe then the status quo is unlikely to change. I do not blame the clubs for charging what they do, they do it because they are in business and wish to make a profit. There is nothing wrong with that.
I do however, find it novel that the vast majority appear to willingly accept overpricing and poor service. In many other trades this would not happen, people would vote with their feet and go elsewhere..................... and now we are back to the cause of the problem
I have let my membership of the CC lapse and I won't be in a rush to renew it.
France? hell yeah, probably the most motorhome friendly country in Europe
