I've just read in the New CLs list in the club magazine, as they laughingly call the junk mail self advertising masquerading as a magazine, that there is a new CL at a garden centre in Northwich, Cheshire. The price is an eye watering £20 a night. Approaching club site price for a CL. Hope no one gives, pricing like this will destroy the whole ethos of the wonderful CL network.

We are not at that sort of priceing with our CL, but need to watch our overheads, this week we had a visitor with a Crossover car,and wanted to recharge the batteries overnight, we came to an arrangment, but is this the future and do we need to cover additional costs like this

wildemere, if it  were me then I would charge them the same as they would pay at a charging point. Don't know how much this works out to though......Cool

But the CL might be a far more pleasant place to stay?  Why do you consider the price of the Club site acceptable, but not the CL?

The pricing seems a bit strange to me. It is a "basic" if beautiful site, one acre, grass, EHU, AO. So nothing in the way of extras that some would want, toilets, showers, HS. The £20 per night includes access for two adults to the admittedly lovely gardens,  worth £8. So that would be good for one night, but if you stop for more than one, you are paying £8.00 per night for the garden access again? 

Looks nice, as I said earlier, but at £20 per night, on the expensive side for what you get. Good arrival time, 10.00am although last departure is 12 noon, so I can see some confusion there? Latest arrival is 5pm, way too early for us!

Might suit others perfectly though.

We have stayed at a CL not far from sons house which is £25/night.  Immaculate facilities, hardstanding, terraced  serviced pitches with stunning views over the southdowns.  We would have stayed last week but they were full so stayed at Rookesbury for about £28/night!

Far too much for me.

I would rather pay a bit more and stay in a Travel Inn.

The majority will pay the price...a minority will pay the price then moan about it....the very, very few will walk away.

Some will pay more than £50 on sites so £20 on a CL is a bargain!Surprised
