CL Price increases

I agree that is a whopper on the face of it, but have they invested a load of money for something like toilets/showers/made up roads for campervans, hard standings, and/or campervan grey waste dumping drain? We like simple CL's with no facilities other than the minimum, but they are increasingly difficult to find. We have heard several CL owners say they have been encouraged by the visiting club inspector to invest in extra facilities and charge more.

I personally believe that some are worth that price

Supply and demand comes to mind

We’re the same - we don’t need all those extras but are aware that more and more vanners do.   These minimal sites are harder to find and I do believe that input from the CMC and increased demand from the recent staycationers has helped push prices up, however lots of these will return to foreign holidays at some points so may be less demand for the supply!

I don’t believe this site have added any additional facilities from the listing and the reviews are all great but its such a large increase and pricing us out.   Incidentally, there are another 5 sites in the area, charging between £15 and £20pn.   

They're taking the proverbial, Cherokee. Which one is it so that we all know which one to avoid?

How many times on here have we been told that the site inspectors have no influence on the price that a CL owner charges!! Wonder who to believe!😁

I used a CL at Monarch lakes, near Boston in September 2019. The standard was high and well worth the money. Nice pub alongside the river a mile or two away. I see that InaD has stayed more recently. If they have kept up maintenance I would happily pay £25

This past year or two, with one exception, we  have been paying no more than £17 for a CL, and that was for a fully serviced hardstanding,  Where we are now is £17, but £20 over winter, and next year will be £18 and £21.

£20 is our max at present, would not pay more for facilities we do not need.

I wonder if the aforesaid CL is preparing to go 'full commercial' or are they keeping pace with the rise in price of CAMC sites and just maintaining a differential of around a tenner?

I can understand supply and demand, improvement in facilities etc, but what is beyond me is why the prices are not updated on the C&MC website. The CL should contact them with any change of details.

Nellie, the owner has said that the books were printed two years ago, which is very true, however it's still a huge increase over two years - possibly trying to recoup losses due to COVID 

Anyway for info - it's Swn Y Mor in Gwynned - it's obviously personal choice regarding price, and it does look at nice site.
