We know where you’re going, PD.
Don’t forget we’re talking peak season when many commercial sites charge the earth but, until we know what site the OP is talking about, this is very much hypothetical and we could argue the toss all day to no avail.

Posted on 25/07/2019 22:38 by OneputtI hadn’t realised peak times mean peak prices, every day a learning experience and yes I’m being patronising in return.
Some high and mid season prices in France and Italy continue to well into September

The original post is just a throw away line which is a bit meaningless without real suggestions on how the Club could achieve lower prices. Where are lower prices going to come from? Even out the prices across the season which might then mean that people suddenly find it more expensive to go off season? Not sure that would work. The Club have seen quite a big increase in site staff costs in the last couple of years which obviously have to be taken into account. There are cheaper options out there, CL's being a good example. Even within the Club there are options. Bridlington £35.50 a night but Thirsk only £20.40 a night at peak!

The £1.5 million and still rising cost of the name change to placate those who have been welcomed into the cc for decades,could have been better spent,
The smoke and mirrors "information "coming from EGH saying there has been a rise in motor caravan/campervan membership since is also a bit of marketing speak when the market for them was already increasing boyed up by ,as noted by dealers pension pots and equity release and caravan owners dipping their toes into the latest "fad"

You know more than me TW. It was just an off the cuff comment.
I rarely have much interest in discussion on prices becuase I accept if I want to be somewhere in particular at a particular time, whether peak or otherwise that is the price I have to pay.
If there aren't any constraints then you can always shop around.

I have occasionally noticed ACSI signs on club & commercial campsites in the UK. Must remember to have a look at those to see if there is any financial benefit of using the card in the UK, providing they are in a location we want to be in. Would be interesting to know if anyone has used their ACSI card in the UK & if so was it financially beneficial especially at peak times.

i didn't get an ACSI card this year but last year there were only a handful of sites offering ACSI rates, most at about 19 Euros. So unless numbers have increased significantly, I cannot see it being worthwhile obtaining the discount card just for use in the UK.
