Excessive site fees

Just returned from Chester Fair Oaks site, one night, £31.30 !!, I nearly choked on my dentures, It was our first trip out this year, only able to book something last minute.Ok, apparently, our over night stay was classed as still in  the 'High' season, but £31.30 per night (two adults) to stay in my own caravan is ridiculous. The club is in danger of  killing the goose that layed the golden egg. it's easy sometimes to forget that we have also paid a membership fee for the privilege of being charged so much.

BB when are you going to accept that we are all different? Some like CL type sites with no, or limited facilities, others don't  and prefer a full toielet block and 16 amps. Yes I know some CL's now offer these facilities, but these are generally more expensive,  just as a larger facility site will be. Just be grateful that we all don't want to visit your favourite CL's, or they might have to invoke a frenzy booking day as well

very true why can't people accept that?

But in fairness, why can't BB have a point of view?

Try to find fault with his argument by all means (I personally don't chose sites without toilets and showers) but please don't berate someone simply for having their own views......even if they differ from yours.

steve, my point was that JVB was suggesting that cc sites offer much more in terms of facilities and security.....they dont.

if a public loo and a shower is the the key facility attraction of a 'full fat' cc site, then great.....but does this justify twice the price?

a cl with an ehu, a water tap and a waste disposal point isnt a no facilities site.....it has everything a cc site has execpt a shared loo/shower. if customers want to pay an extra £10 a night for sharing this with scores of others, lovely...

some cls also have these added 'attractions' but i suspect those who use cc sites wouldt go there as they dont provide 'cc' levels of toilet paper or whatever....

I don't mind anyone having a point of view but BB's constant need to try and indoctriate folk into his way of thinking is a bit wearing.

why can people read which post was being responded to before wading in on their chargers....?

i didnt say that it was right or wrong to choose a cc site over a cl, merely challenging JVBs point which suggested that cc sites  had more facilities and security than a cl .....i disagreed.

Ian read the post. I never said someone could not have another point of view.

I am afraid that it does not come across that way BB and I do not think I am alone in this interpretation.
