Excessive site fees

Have you looked at the Glen Nevis site? Its excellent. in a stunning location and cheaper.You also have the option of selecting EHU or not etc.

I have looked at prices for next weekend near Fort William and the CC site is £56 for two nights and two people with membership. 

The C&CC is £56 for two nights for two non members. If we take a membership it becomes £44 for the two nights. 

I know on this forum there are members with the money is no object mentallity but if the CC wants to attract younger members / families it needs to be competitive and prove a benefit to membership. 

They are however not easily comparable. One is a loch side location, one inland, although both in beautiful areas. One is 10 miles from FW the other 18. These differences could possibly result in the price differential. I point this out as generally on CT  people are saying the C&CC works out about the same as the CC Price wise. So really you would have to compare several sites in similar locations to make a judgement.

I did and also Invercoe with its lochside location at £46 for two nights. 

Perhaps there's an extra charge for lochside midges.

Looks like a very nice site in a stunning location, however, whilst less than the CC price it is difficult to compare as it depends on the individuals requirements. It is further from FW by 6 miles, only has 10 amp EHU and possibly the chance of ending up on a grass pitch. It is difficult to tell as I could not find the info on their web site, it just says pitch and in some of the photos those appear to be grass. Also a difference, although not perhaps not as important, the £30 deposit is non returnable. As far as I am concerned you should go with what you like and what you can afford, there are no rights or wrongs. However, if a comparison is to be made, it has to be like for like.

We found the CCC Sandringham site to be significantly more expensive than the CC site when we went. We have generally found the CCC more expensive but we don't get ACR which may make a difference. 

I suspect that if we looked at a different time of year the situation would reverse and the CC would be more expensive. 

I tend to look for location first, price and whether it represents value second. 

Glen Nevis is only 1 mile fromFW. Within walking distance

What's with this "money no object" insult. Can you not just accept that some folk actually choose the CC site? Choice is what it's all about surely? We're currently on a fab C&CC site at Polstead in Suffolk. Next week, in order to meet up with family we'll be on the CC site at Commons Wood on a bank holiday weekend. Does that make us one of your "money no object" members? I don't think so! 

( Not sure how your suggestion will go down with the "bang up the prices in school holidays" crew! )

Went last year and were booked in for 4 days on a fully serviced pitch, however after 3 days we gave up and moved to the CC site at Oban which was 100% improvement on the Glen Nevis site even if we did not have a fully serviced pitch and we are not exactly fans of CC sites.

Agreed that pricing at some CC sites is high and would urge the Club to consider more 'no facilities' sites. Why pay for toilet blocks when you pay good money for excellent facilities on board? Okay, not for everyone, but having been to Worthing over Easter and more recently Stamford during term time it is obvious that these sites are popular and good value.
