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.

We went around the Broadway site to see:

a) how it has changed since the last time we stayed there. (25 years ago)

b) Would we like to stay there again on a BH weekend at £31+ night

Answers a) a lot ........ b) No

Also it was the week before Easter and we were on our way back from Devon and Cornwall but, as the weather was forecast to be so good, we stayed in the Cotswolds ( on a CL @£15/night)

Ah, I see😋. Trellis was right.

That was quite a detour on the way home.

MikeyA - might be an idea to contact HO and ask them to add Member to you avatar unless it's my laptop gone awry yet again and that's why I can't see it.

Yes, good point. As CLs are obviously only for members!

Hi guys,

I too am concerned at the cost of booking club sites.

I have just joined the club after viewing costs per night on the club website.I was shocked at the astronomical cost per night when you actually try to book somewhere. I feel as though I have been conned. I have tried to contact the club by e-mail but the website links don't seem to work. Any ideas.

Some browsers don’t activate the email links and you have to type them into your mail. There are various contact options listed under the Contact Us section at the foot of the page in the green footer.

I too am a bit surprised that you didn’t look at site pages and check the actual costs as it’s unlikely they could quote a from figure that would apply to us all. Number of people, children, extra car, serviced pitch - they all affect pricing.

perhaps there were some dog shows along the way? Is Mikey interested in that? or am I mixing things up, if so apologies

Mikey - a bit off the point (apologies) but have you left a review for that CL? We love the Cotswold area and we're always on the lookout for new possibilities, especially if recommended by fellow members.

No real need as it is the current CL of the year,

Avon Bank Meadow

A beautiful area set on the banks of the River Avon, easy walks either way from the site.
