Excessive site fees

Money well spent? or another waste by the £90/100K per annum directors.

Write your comments here...I guess if you ahve kids and go there money well spent, if you dont then maybe a waste.  Similarly you can say upgrading toilet blocks is money well spent if you use them but a waste if you choose to use your own facilities.

As they say beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder....

On the subject of excessive fees, I was looking to sort out a break down in South Devon for the start of September. We've stayed at Putts Corner a few times and like it there but at a touch over £22 for us (2 adults, 2 dogs, porch awning) I thought I'd look around for alternatives. Gave up after 3 (Oakdown, Ladram Bay, Salcombe Regis) which were all going to be a tenner or so more expensive per night. And this is after the schools have returned!

Now looking for a CL/CS or maybe a C&CC site in the area.

Watch this space....! 

I booked a couple of nights at Cirencester Park as our son is competing in the Tough Mudder event in the park, it's costing almost £70  Would have looked at cls but wanted to be within walking distance. Suppose it's cheaper than staying in a hotel, just.

There are no directors, the club is run by a comittee of volunteers.

Not seen it but unlessthe cost is published we have no way of knowing it.

Club site fees are overpriced for a "club". I reluctantly call the organisation a club as my understanding is that club members should receive advantageous conditions. It is possible to obtain almost everything the club offers cheaper elsewhere. Only remain a member for use of the CL's.

I also understood the club is supposed to represent members interests.

It is plain to see from internet forums that all is not well in the caravan and motor home industry regarding quality. Does the club ever take them to task over this. No.

Maybe the CC price it about right as members seemed prepared to pay.

and for any given site there are other non club sites which are cheaper and more expensive.

So the good news is that if you think it's too expensive then don't go

In the commercial world of the leisure industry the CC have got their average fees just right. Well done the CC.

Where they could be tweeked to earn greater income and benefit customers, would be to substantially increase the fees at a time when there is much more demand over supply ( peak seasons Bank holidays Etc )  -- and to encourage the use of otherwise empty pitches,--- substantially reduce the prices during off-peak times. 

This is the Leisure industry model and it works well across all the leisure companies.

You could also tweak the fees by charging substantially more money for disabled pitches because they're usually in a prime position on site, or have more space.

There aren't any 'disabled pitches' as far as I have seen.
