Dynamic pricing to be introduced

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.

We are getting almost daily emails from Titan, Riviera and Saga offering literally hundreds of pounds off holidays and river cruises this summer. (Sadly, we can't take advantage at the moment as one of the dogs is having health issues.) The brochures always promise "early bookers" get the best deals and guarantee money back/credit if holidays are later reduced in price. I always wonder if they actually stick to that promise? undecided

It's interesting that the sites mostly change from Spring to Summer, so I assume that one site may be fuller in Summer and not in Spring (and the other way round) and hence the club is using DP to get more outfits on pitches when needed? Sound's good. 

For those that leave booking till later it's very good not so so good if you need to book far in advance but that's just the way it is but no complaints from me if I 'lost out'. .

If I was booked in at one price would I change it for the cheaper? I honestly don't know, would depend on  few things, a booking in the hand is worth two in the possible site sort of thing?

We are running our own dynamic pricing venture. No deposits involved, no having to book ahead, no useless slow booking system, nothing unexpected being taken from our bank account.

Its going really well at the moment, £18 for hook up, HS and a nice clean loo block last night……šŸ˜ And the bonus of not being mown aroundšŸ¤£

I’ve been a member for many years but the prices on club sites have become to expensive for us ( I’m a pensioner ) and I now only use cl sites.

I have also joined the Camping and Caravan Club where I get better deals as a pensioner. 
it’s time the caravan and Motorhome club started listening to the  members who have supported the club for most of their caravaning years.

How do you get the discount on c&cc sites. Every time I try to book a site in mid or low season, I put in the discount code ACR and a message comes up saying code not valid. Up to now I have not booked one. I feel I have been conned joining.

DT, I have never had to input a code to get the ACR discount but have just selected ACR Member on the booking page as shown. Does your membership card show you as being an ACR member? If not, you probably need to contact C&CC.

As above ACR is a tick box on the booking form which you get on all CCC sites, I think. ACR should be on your membership card if you have applied for it via CCC HO.

CCC discounts are specific offers to some sites/dates where you have to enter a Promo Code relating to that offer.

You can check what offers are available on CCC website to find the Promo Code.  Hope this helps
