Is it a rip off?

I suspect that many do pay £50 David and consider that, for them, it is good value.

We shall shortly be paying £6.60 at Sandringham which I am content with whilst OP considered £26 too be too expensive. The private site that I am on now charges £24 at present but the facilities fall short of CC sites. We are paying £26 for a lakeside pitch.

I would tend to agree with the No. As using a dynamic pricing model there would be no regular prices. Just a higher price for booking early and guaranteeing your pitch and a lower price for booking later, or last minute and taking the risk that you won't be going.

Who is this "certain over there poster" who has been paying  £50 a night?  

Last year I happened upon the most luxurious site imaginable in that well  known "third world"country Austria where we paid our all time maximum fee of €35 for a pitch with its own luxury bathroom and set in the most magnificent  souroundings . It may be possible to pay £50 a night on the continent as well as the UK but not if you know what you are doing.

if you and BB actually read my original post (on page 22) David I did not say £50 per night at all, no idea why BB wanted to misquoted me, I am sure it wasn't on purpose of course.

the 'over there poster': Our average per night ( over there) varies between £50 and £65  

I think he meant per day, as it was per day earlier in his post, and in another post

...that we are now being priced out of Club sites...

Glad you have cleared  that. Maybe your confusion came from discussion  about daily all in living costs, in our case £50-£65 includes ferry, insurance, fuel site fees ,shopping and other spending. Having discussed this  in the past it seems those members  who do tours of similar periods in the UK and using club or equivilant sites are spending very similar amounts.

My gym has reduced rate membership for those using the facility during working hours which suits many senior citizens.  However, I don't think that would work for CC Ltd or its customers.  IMO "last minute" price reductions to fill unbooked pitches could benefit both seller and customers, especially senior citizens as they are most likely to be able to take up such offers.
