Is it a rip off?

Hi I have a rant to get off my chest

Just booked a site for 21 nights for an eye watering £540!   After I got back on my feet I was informed that Caravan and Motor home club have increased their Easter fees this week two weeks early.  Why I ask. even the management were embarrassed and thought it were shocking. 

 I spent 5 nights last week on a fabulous caravan and camping club site in heart of Northumberland with all the facilities and with over 60s discount £8 pn!

After only just re-joining I cannot  see the benefits of staying with  C&M club prices are beyond out reach.

"...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"? undecided

I also used the word 'median'...just for Corners' benefit...I was happy with 'expensive'wink

Basic site.....this has also been used by many, many posters in this and other similar threads...

a pitch, probably EHU, probably loo/shower.....this is the club basic template...one notch up from 'no facs' sites?

...but a long way off many of the sites we use.

nothing to do with neat, tidy or other terms often used to describe club sites.

"I personally see the frequent criticism of club sites as non productive/ boring and often wonder if some comments posted are done to 'fuel the fire'"

Surely not? wink

And exactly what the many thousands who use them as a base each year are looking for. Those who want a "holiday camp" atmosphere will obviously seek out alternatives. But like many others we do not want a pool, bar/restaurant on site - we prefer to explore out and about in whichever area we are staying.

So  club sites in your opinion are on a par with the majority of any other companies sites in the UK cheaper than some and in some areas more expensive than others,and with the growing use of club sites ,seem to be what the majority of LV users want at the prices chargedwink

When we were going to Flamborough North Landing the other day, the bus pulled in to Haven Thornwicke bay and did a small circuit stopping near reception. Lots of statics, some tourers, mini mall, bars, fast food outlets. Out of season very reasonable, if you book far enough in advance, out of peak, you can get down to £8 a night for a hardstanding  with electric. Clearly not cost effective at that price and being subsidised  by the other things on site plus the £47 charged in peak. That was with a 20% discount. Possibly struggling to sell them 😂

I know you don't have to use the bars, entertainment etc and in certain circumstances we might consider staying off peak. However, in general We will go with CAMC basic.😉
