Apparently dynamic pricing is to be rolled out to all UK campsites during 2023.
Which means that those that book up to a year ahead will be able to take advantage of the lowest prices.
Those who for whatever reason cannot commit to booking so far in advance will be penalised if they wish to book closer to the time of travel because apparently the higher the popularity of a campsite and the closer to the time of arrival the booking is made, the higher the price may be.
As with all the changes that have happened during the last 6 months, where were any or more importantly ALL the members consulted and balloted regarding these changes?
Many older members (like ourselves) cannot commit to long term bookings due to medical considerations, appointments that may arise because of these etc; we have previously just set off when able on a ‘tour’ and then by way of the (what was) late availability checker booked ‘on the fly.’
We have already been penalised with the 21 day non-returnable deposit system which really could have been much fairer reduced to 7 days.
I used to fiercely defend the CAMC as a great organisation to be a member of but this latest move has been the nail in the coffin for us personally.

. Sites like mine at £20 per night are struggling already. Your email should have read that those decent value service point only sites need support
Another year at a massive loss won't bode well I think.
