Annual discount card for those who use CL's only

Hi M I did add nearly,but the last time I looked at Hillhead club site it was about £46 per night for pitch plus 2 adults and 1 child or £51 per night with 2 children in high season.

The suprising thing is it's nearly fully booked, so supply and demand takes over.

Yes, Hillhead is expensive and it does surprise me that it's as popular as it is, although having said that we'very never been there but it may have some attraction!

I always think that the club offers a pretry good deal in high season for families who choose to use its sites though; certainly a better deal than the vastly inflated prices of the likes of Haven and Park.

I get the idea but too many variables...... but why £51 and £10. The CL network allows access to far more sites than are in the CAMC network. The price of all sites is set in relation to its position, facilities etc so if the annual charge is basically for the right to book sites, shouldn’t it be £25.50 for CAMC and / or £25.50 for CL, or considering the difference in the number of CL’s to CAMC sites say £35 for CL’s and £16 for CAMC sites.

If I were a cynic, I’d say someone seems to me to want access to the CL network on the cheap !!!  😎

 If you are not a member the cost you quote would be £63 per night

I am not sure I really understand the logic off it, not from the CAMC's perspective. Is it really going to bring in enough new £10 members to compensate for the loss of those paying £51 who's only reason for belonging is CL's.

We only use main sites and don't belong to the C&CC. We have considered joining, but it hasn't been the price that has stopped us but the fact we have not found the need to use one of their sites. So a lower price would not be much of an incentive. So are members of the other club going to rush to pay their £10.🤔

Many of you get upset when  I mention the rest of the western world, butI I am touring Europe right now with no need of any membership  at all. Campsites are open to everyone, I just pay at the desk. 

No different to this country then. There are plenty where membership is not required. Plus I am sure if you try hard enough, you will find membership only sites even over there. In effect the ACSI scheme which we used was a type of membership. It certainly got us cheaper rates.😀

I found exactly the same when touring France and Germany, as I did year after year. No need to book or join any organisations just turn up and you are made very welcome and you pay upon leaving.   

UK club sites are obsessed by advance bookings and paying  on arrival they also want a lot of money for a discount card. 

K 

exactly +1 If you don't want to join or visit a club site then 90% or so of the sites over here are non club sites, isn't that enough?

Oh and most of them will have plenty of space, unlike club sites.

also many/most non club sites also have advanced booking too?

But you make it sound as if the club is somehow forcing people to use their sites and pay a membership fee, if you don't want to, or can't like yourself K, then don't. 

But many seem to want to? membership levels are the highest they have been in a while. wonder why?
