As long as folk keep paying it they will keep charging it.

Scandalous price, try renting a house out for that amount.

Their not, they are renting out a patch of grass or even gravel if your lucky.

Yes it was obvious a campsite was only renting out a patch of ground, I was comparing the cost of that parking place with what you could rent a house with all mod cons out for. Scandalous price for a parking place for the night

ot sure if it's a misprint. We noticed that Poolsbrook was also about £40/N but last time we went just before Christmas it was £25/N. If it's not we won't be going there again.

Sorry if I misunderstood your post as it came over as sarcasm supporting the high cost of the pitch.

They are on a merry go round
They are haemorrhaging paying customers... so cover costs they out the prices up.. Even fewer people use the sites, so sometime or other in the future they put the prices up again..

With any amount of luck they will disappear up their own white posts ( as you can tell, I am NOT a fan of the whole shoddy outfit )

I like Caravan Club sites. Looe is expensive in August, quick check, 3 adults 1 child, £51 a night. Swiming pools are expensive to upkeep. I was going to pay more at Haven, I'm afraid my granddaughter would not be impressed with a field.

We paid £47 at Seahouses 3 years ago, I nearly choked when she told me the cost in the morning.

 

[Dear Ducato]

Nobody will vote with their feet! They all moan about the price of beer etc at holiday camps, London pubs, especially if you come from the Northern club areas where drink prices are cheap-at least in the 70's- but they order the drink, whinge about the price, gulp it down and order another! I walked away from a bar at one of the shows that I go to each year (pre-Covid), when I asked for a glass of Merlot and it came in a small glass and wanted £4.50. I declined it and walked off, as I could have got a bottle for that! If it had been a proper glass and not a two-sip affair, I wouldn't have minded, but that would have worked out at £30.00 a bottle on that size glass, so we went over to the permanent club bar on site and got a Jack Daniels for £2.00! Everyone in business has to make a profit but that, to me was a rip off. As the TV programme states, 'Rip-Off Britain'. Some people have more money than sense or live on tick.

I was about to pay £45 a night this week. Normally avoid them like the plague (see what I did there).

I was willing to pay as they were open, I am desperate or was desperate to get away and I know they are COVID secure.

Doesn’t matter now, you wouldn’t get me away for free at the moment!

It’s ok to say vote with your feet and that they will price themselves out of the market, did anybody try getting a booking this year. The club sites were the only ones taking bookings during lockdown in the hope they they would be allowed to open.

I am getting lost with the initials for the two main clubs and I think it maybe because different posters use different versions.

Could somebody kindly give me the official initial abbreviations and any alternatives used by people for what I knew as

Camping and Caravanning Club

Caravan Club, now Caravan and Motorhome Club

Thanks, Geoff

 

[Badknee]

We use CL’s or CS’s ‘cos their far better value.

The perfect way!

Thanks Paul.

I have been confused since I have seen other combination of letters. Also was not sure if the latter should be C&M and also seen CC so did not know if that was old CC or somebody had left out a third C.

Whilst I am not saying somethings are overpriced, in the instance you are describing £4.50 wages, heat, light, rent, insurances etc are all factors that have to be added to the cost of serving you that glass, including the chair and table you are sat at, so when you break all that down the ‘profit’ post company tax may be quite small.
