Is it a rip off?

We used the CCC Cambridge site a couple of years back, and very nice it was too.

Preferable, IMO , to Cherry Hinton , which we used many years back

I'm sure that's true EasyT, but I'd like to see a few more benefits and improvements if it's costing me more.

The wine box that we have been buying at Tesco for ages, went up in price again the other day. I can't say I have noticed any difference in the quality.

It is unfortunately a fact of life, costs such as wages, fuel, utilities etc go up and the prices we pay follow.☹️

compared to the sites that Kjell, and many others regularly use 'elsewhere' club sites are bereft of such things like pools, bars. restaurants, cafes, sports facilities etc and these sites are available for €16-20 a night for around 80% of the season.

Its obvious that some folk see this sort of site (see Castells or Yelloh!) offering a lot more at a really affordable price. 

Unfortunately for those wanting such facilities (I don't) they are not similarly priced within the UK.

I'm reliably informed that club sites are in the median price range so perhaps a better way of describing where the club sits re VFM might be 'CC offers basic facilities at median prices?

The club offers what you may consider basic but is in fact of a standard with the range of facilities that many seek. A similar formula to many sites by other providers within a similar price range.

we visited Cambridge about three years ago and chose the CCC site. one day while put on the bikes, we passed Cherry Hintin and had a look.

to us it was one of the darkest, dampest, scruffiness, dingiest sites we've ever seen and were so glad we were at the (then) newly developed area of the CCC site.

indeed but then don't say you cannot afford something, that means something completely  different. Saving £800+ in fuel will buy you lots of club site nights.

You can so certainly afford club sites, you just choose (rightly) to spend the money elsewhere

Spend it on club sites instead of this

alan, you must have missed my comparison between Henley Four Oaks and Swiss Farm?

a few hundred yards apart and when we were there SF just about identical in price, much nicer pitches, water supply on the pitch, a bar, restauant, nice patio for drinks, very large walking area (dogs or guests) and a terrific pool.

so, it certainly can be done in the uk at club prices.

HFO, while nice, is a traditional basic club site by any standards...
