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.

I am concerned though about the High prices being charged by several new CL's. It starts me wondering what advice they are being given by the CC at the start.
The cynic might say that the organisation might be getting concerned about the numbers of members turning to CL's & away from club sites, and as a result are trying to close the gap. I'm sure that that is not the case, but its a strange trend nevertheless!

You may be more right than you thinkTigerfish.We have now got a bit cynical about advertised Cl prices and to some degree use them less, with commercials off season giving better facilities and competitive pricing. Their prices are also up to date when you look at web sites unlike many Cls

I am currently on a temporary holiday site and three different people have said (without any prompting from me) that they have left the CC because of the prices of CL's have gone daft., stupid prices and they have forgotten their purpose.
Not my words, just what others have said in the last few days. Make of it what you will

Next week its the LLeyn Peninsular. With CLs at £15+ we will boycott and use the Euro pitches at Haven- Pwllheli at about £10 per night. H/S EHU, T/v point, Grey waste,full toilet facilities. Neither the CC or Cls seem to appeciate that competition is getting keener and with new entrants in the market.

I don't think £15 is unreasonable for a good CL with level pitches and facilites like a loo & shower such as the one we stayed at recently. And even at maybe a fiver more a night I'd rather give CL owners my custom than pander to the likes of Haven whose
(admittedly good) low offer prices are subsidised by families paying sky high prices at other times of the year. Just my opinion, though!

I think a lot of us use CLs because we don't want to be on the very large sites like Haven even if they are offering special rates. There are some lovely CLs out there and cost isn't the only factor. Mind you the if the banking situation gets more dire in
November I might re-think that!
