California just outside LA about 6 years ago worked out at £100.00 a night, needless to say we didn't stay there. Ended up camped just outside Santa Barbara on the Pacific Ocean beach for free watching dolphins and whales. Stayed a week.

They must have considered the date still part of Easter. I've just checked and 4 adults in a MH for two night starting this Saturday is £48. Two nights was the minimum their website allows you to book. It is possible they also charged you for two nights even though you only stayed one.

I think that quote must have been for four motorhomes and one adult.......... Their website says any weekend in April for less than £40?

Ladrum Bay site was in the ACSI book last year. 18 euro I think.We went there in September but they were full up and I thought if they are full up in September why be in the ACSI book.

I have paid some eye watering pitch fees in Spain during the summer holidays and over Easter last year a pitch next to the Med was (at least for 3 of the nights) eye watering x2.

The site we stayed on at Lake Garda last August was €70 but with the exchange rate at the time that equated to about £45.

Perfect location though with direct access to the beach, it's own beach bar and no stupid 9 metre rules or pegs or warders with tape measures.

The pitch was 8 metres square and the only instruction was "that's your one. Park however you like"

We stayed at Camping Fornella (Lake Garda) last August, it was a last minute decision, they only had a superpitch at 90 odd euros per night (family of four). Worth every cent too.
It must have been good, as we've booked again for this year (about £65pn through Caravan Club).

Personally, I don't mind high prices, providing it is 'high quality' and with great amenities (direct beach/lake access for example).
We often stay at 'expensive' sites. I'm not going to compromise for the sake of a few euros...

I do however object to sub-standard sites trying it on (and clearly succeeding) or British sites charging approaching £100pn in high season (when you can't guarantee good weather).
But it is a free market and it's very apparent that folk are willing to pay.. wherever the location !
