Enquire about the availability on a CL in N.Yorkshire for next weekend. The site is listed as £13 in the 2015/16 Site Directory, so did expect to see a rise possibly up to £15. Got word back that a pitch was avilable at £18pn
.
no thank you very much, as I can get a club site pitch for a good bit less than that. Wonder how they can justify a 40% increase.

I've just had a response to me declining the booking due to the price. The owner now says that it was a misprint, and the price should have been £15, following a site upgrade. Well it's too late as we have booked another site in a similar area at £10 with H/S & EHU. What more can one ask?

At least they had the courtesy to reply. Seems that every cloud has a silver lining after all.

Think they realised the error of their ways and probably saw an empty site, the good point is, they had the good grace to reply. Maybe a lesson learnt .....
Edit.... which site was it, out of interest nellie? not wishing to name and shame, but genuine interest......

Seems to be a trend inCLs.Forget the handbook but raise prices. I wonder how much business these high price Cls get outside the main holiday period? I still stick to the format of £5/6 for basic field. £10/12 for basic plus EHU. and no more than £15 for al singing all dancing ( dont use these). If more of us stuck to a pricing regime that was fair we may see the greedy Cls changing their way. Mind you the CC does not set a good example by their price hikes particularly the basic sites up from £12-50 to £14.

Yes - I would be interested too as we use a lot in North Yorkshire. One we use regularly has increased over the last few years from £8 to £13 and only has 6amp electrics!

The site I first contacted was Canada Fields, it was an all singing, all dancing CL with an associated commercial site. The one we've booked on is Spring Thyme CL which has had a recommendation before on here. Will write a review after visiting it, some time next week.

I did look at that one too but the 6 amps at that price put me off.
