Is it a rip off?

Ah but you have imposed a special circumstance there EasyT, you want a new car. Perfectly possible to find a tow car under £12k, but not perhaps a new one!

The other thing is, it might indeed be perfectly possible to tour using a Club Site as a benchmark. All you have to do is take Nunnykirk as your bench mark, as we did last year. No facilities, grass pitches. It was our dearest site on our tour of Northumberland and Borders. Other sites offered HS, sometimes a loo, most came in under £14 per night, and very nice they were as well.😁

Right at the beginning of this thread I responded to the OP with the idea of cheaper alternatives.

But I also agree that prices have crept up on some sites and whether they are truly good value is down to personal choice.

In response to a comment a few pages back about CAMC prices being comparable with similar commercials 'down the road' in no way amends the perception of VFM. I would taker a similar view of the commercials.

In the final analysis I am providing my own accommodation, maid service and meals. For my fee all I receive is a parking space and a communal bathroom 'along the corridor' and a bit of electricity in an environment that has a greater or lesser degree of landscaping. What will I pay for that? Not as much and some apparently.

Yes Brue, there are cheaper alternatives but the OP was talking of 3 weeks during a time when many sites have higher charges and saying that they felt £26 a night was expensive. Indeed they may think so but will struggle to find sites of a similar standard to CC sites for significantly less during that period. Although I personally do not believe that the C&CC are up to CC standards in a few areas they might be a cheaper alternative. 

But then we do not know ,as outsiders,  how pricing structures are worked out ,what i do know is that since the working time directive came into effect, and the often over reacted on H&S has been giving "grief" to managers in all industries,when in the past in house staff (wardens) could carry out on site jobs that now have to be "outsourced" to specialist? companies to mitigate any chances of litigation if "unqualified?" staff are involved,none of these companies do it cheaply which these days will add large costs to sites and the more facilities added the more they will need "maintaining"

The club is providing the same as many competitors and the CC provisions are, for me, better.

Presumably you choose other options then

I think the opposition varies as much as CAMC on facilities and provision but they do have their "senior" discount so if there's a choice I'm opting for the discount. 

The Club offers some very good terms and conditions compared with other providers, currently no deposits and no cancellation fees. Let’s hope these are still in place this time next year for those that enjoy them. 😁
