Club prices getting silly

I agree we have noticed over the last 12 months the prices are getting ridiculous

Even this year with the reduced VAT the costs have been higher than last year.

Next year I think we will definatley be looking at private sites or CL's to try and reduce the costs

Such a shame as we love the club sites and due to me still working weekends are our time to get away

Have found the other club far more reasonable with pricing and general COVID measures this year

If it had been Hillhead on those dates it would be £49.60 and £33.60...total £83.20.....

Richardandros,  Bredon Vale site is nearby and close to your route and has glowing reviews - hard standing pitch with electricity, and dog free - priced at £24 a night. Grass pitches less than that. 

Not making any excuses for club prices, but I think 5 June is part of the platinum jubilee celebrations next year, isn't it? So very much a bank holiday weekend.

But if it's just for a stop over, I can recommend a CL just off J6 (I think) of the M5 called Woodlands Farm, or the private site at Hawford Bridge (called Mill House).

Edit - or the C&CC site at Wolverley though I'm not so sure if that would fit with your route.

I'm not sure "dog free" would endear it to R&R judging by their avatar! 

The businesses that have survived the covid shutdowns are likely to try to recoup some of their losses through raised prices, and can do so because many others have closed and there is little competition at present. As a result, prices for everything are perceived to be high - not helped by many of the population having been protected from witnessing creeping price increases.

Economics would say that this will stabilise as others enter the market, and I expect it will, but I do suspect that we will end up with prices for almost everything at a higher level than if they had increased naturally over the past 18 months.

I wonder when pension payments will catch up . . . .  ?

Eurotraveller - thank you so much for that info - looks ideal in terms of location and facilities and I will be enquiring re vacancies, shortly! I was a bit concerned when you said "dog free", thinking Meg wouldn't be allowed - but I guess you meant, no charges for dogs!!

Free meaning no charge.

All my stops this year have been CLs, one commercial, and a number of C&CC. The prices I have investigated have been, IMV, excessive. It's no wonder that my request for a proper printed price list went unheeded. They probably don't want us to easily find out how much they are charging.

I accept all of that argument Navigateur, but how does that stack up with C&CC charging £22 p.n. at Dartmouth, which actually has much more going for it in terms of location and facilities than Broadway, imo.
