Club campsite update for 2024

Rowena, it's a good offer but could you please explain in a little more detail, I believe the 10% is only available for bookings made before the end of September 2023 is there also a time limit within to make a booking to receive the benefit of 2024 bookings at the same price as 2023, and why is there limited availability for these prices

Bear in mind the 10% deposit discount offer won't make any difference if your booking amounts to less than £250 as the minimum deposit of £25 still applies, or so I believe. Fair enough if it exceeds this amount.

Hi Arch,

That’s correct, the 10% fully refundable deposit is available until 30 September 2023. There is no time limit to book 2024 campsites at 2023 prices. The reason there is limited availability at these prices is because like many other campsite and leisure organisations, we offer different prices during different times of the year depending on popularity. So the earlier you book, the cheaper it is likely to be. Take a look at our Pricing FAQs HERE for more information 

It's now £20 under this scheme WN, so as I posted somewhere or roughly about four/five nights depending upon site. We 'saved' £28.40 this morning. 

And yes I know I could 'save' even more by not choosing a club site 

But yes as I also posted it's meant to catch those booking longer stays with better deposits and booking 'terms' than using another provider, and of course coupled with the other price held for 2024 it could be seen as a good business idea. 

We 'saved' £28.40 this morning.

Saved? If that was based on a lower deposit it is not really a saving , all it means is you have a higher fee to pay on the day of arrival but, I am sure you know that. Energy prices are falling hopefully even further by next year. If that remains the case then the Club should be able to reduce 2024 prices to below that of 2023?

Hence my use of quotation marks in 'saved' PD (and I'm sure you knew that too).

The deposit would have been £56.80 at 20% but under this offer of 10% it was £28.40, so today I paid £28.40 less than I would have done, I personally see that as a 'saving' and it's an extra £28.40 in my account rather than the club's

Of course I'll pay more when arriving that's obvious.

As to falling energy prices, and of course other prices rises, who knows, I'm not really bothered as I book club site as I need to and while even if what you say if true at least booking now (I haven't btw) guarantees that 2023 price and even if energy prices did fall, others might not and I really don't think the club would lower it's prices anyway? 

 My energy supplier has just sent me a mail to tell me by how much their prices were falling and from when...also the impact on my overall predicted annual account.

if electricity prices fall for CAMC won't they have to lower them for the sites using the 'metering trial'....and shouldn't they for other sites where 'rising energy prices' caused a fairly swift upward change in CAMC pitch prices.

Not applying an equitable 'give and take' would be fairly obvious to customers who have recently stumped up those applied increases...

Since they were able to quote the current price and a future price, they will be on fixed price contracts, so no reduction, for a while anyway.

Sadly the 'offer' is not for us and here's why: our behaviour in years gone by was to book our whole year ahead (rarely cancelled), how exciting it was to plan our breaks.  Now; we can't pull out multiple deposits (even at 10%) and with increasing age hubby has succumbed to lots of health issues so we daren't run the risk of cancellations at all now. We're seeing our membership out for our one and only booking later in the summer but then sadly the USP for us has waned and it will be au revoir after that. I am so saddened by all of this.

I haven't hesitated to complain about the clubs actions in the past but on this occasion I will give them credit for these offers, I have just just booked a week for next month I didn't begrudge the £20 deposit at all and I may even take the offer up and book a 3 week stay for next year. I hope the club carries on moving in this direction.
