I am so hoping that overseas holidays can commence safely as soon as possible.😁

I am afraid you have lost me there.My point was that I don't see CLs in most cases as a fair comparison for even the the basic French municipal and a fairer comparison would be club sites that provide the same basic facilities, shower blocks toilet EHU etc

And tell me David, How many different CLs and Municipal Sites and come to think of it CAMC sites have you actually stayed on in the last 5 years to make this comparison?

I have actually stayed on far, far more than you have in all 3 categories and you are quite wrong about Cls and Municipal sites, at least the ones that I have actually experienced, say well over 100 in the years I've been going to France. CLs in the UK? About 15 a year, 90% of which are new to me, so about 200 in the last 20 years give or take.

So if I make a comparison on prices I tend to know what facilities and standards I am talking about. Besides which you seem to have missed the fact that I wasn't actually complaining about price differentials, merely pointing out my experiences. 

If we were talking about price I have conveniently overlooked tolls and extra fuel but I'm not the one splitting hairs.

Fact - It's going to cost more by going abroad.

Fact - It's worth it.

I guess you'll just have to disagree with me.

This is in driving distance. The club used it in their overseas brochure with my permission of course

How far do you have to drive to get there? It looks a bit like Crantock beach to me and we can be there,  door to door, in about 3 hours!

About 15 minutes from a first class site we have used many times and the club has since added to  its stable of advance booking for those that want

I agree about staying in the UK for the present, but sadly I think it is nigh on impossible to find the quality of vacation we normally get across the water, here in the UK.
