Is it a rip off?

it's interesting Steve that we tour extensively in Europe which obviously costs a reasonable amount in total, yet the 'value' we get from the whole experience (sites, journey, locations, food, weather etc, etc) feels so high that paying £25+ at a club site really does feel poor vfm.

'priced out', perhaps....certainly enough to make us baulk at some of the  prices.

we are currently away but CL-ing atm for £14.

we recoup all of our ferry costs in the time we are away with sites that are cheaper (but often of a totally different (better) standard) than club sites.

fuel costs are little different to someone touring Scotland from the south or the West Country from the north.

as I said earlier....the std Alan reply of 'it doesn't affect me'...

but we are talking about vfm and the club providing basic facilities for median prices.

my example just shows the difference (for a similar price) that some providers can produce, and as has been said in this thread, club prices keep rising, the offering doesn't change, and the 'price' threads keep coming.

(but often of a totally different (better) standard) than club sites

and sadly there it is again, sites over there are better

And we should all just accept that fact and learn from it

what hubris.

Not even a shorter walk to the town?

No BB you were talking about that.

I and some others were talking about sites with a similar provision to CC sites. I have considered and discounted Swiss Farm in the past, not because 'it does not effect me' (to use your words rather than mine) but because it does not match my requirements and is probably great if that is your wants but not for me thanks.

"...but we are talking about vfm and the club providing basic facilities for median  prices."

That's at least the second time you've used that expression BB (yes - you repeating yourself!). Perhaps you might explain your use of the word "basic"?

Probably no pool, no bar/restraunt or drinks patio. Maybe not a fully stocked shop/mini market

The shorter walk might be nice 

Sounds just the job for us!

When we're away we like to get out and about and use local shops and pubs/restaurants - just the way. apparently, that many folk do "over there". I wonder what makes "over here" so different for them?

Don't start that one M...
