Cost of sites has gone mad

Prices are clearly displayed even after adding the extra adult and you could have stopped there and then, it actually takes more effort to continue to payment and backing out is easy - just close the window. As I've said many times I've never bought anything if I thought I was being ripped off.

Yes club sites fees have increased but it's not money grabbing, that's just your view and not a fact of course, but again if you think that I still don't understand why you don't cancel if your trip is within 21 days and find somewhere better but I'll leave that there.

For my view club sites still offer excellent VFM.

Have a great trip.

However you wouldn't need to pay those exorbitant prices at BW, or other CC sites, being an employee of the club, would you?

I’m not sure that a site alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal near Devizes equates to the quayside in the City of Bristol tbh, MnB 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I much prefer Devizes, btw, and would need to be paid more than £50 p/n to visit BW but that's just me😀

There are plenty of good locations so if you've already been to an expensive one like Baltic Wharf (where it would now cost people like us an extra £9 CAZ twice for exit and entrance) try something new for less money. 😉

That's a bit of a low blow to somebody giving their opinion in a debate.

But obviously more effort would have been needed to start all over again ....

"I’m not sure that a site alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal near Devizes equates to the quayside in the City of Bristol tbh, MnB 🤷🏻‍♂️."

Which is why I'm not attempting to compare the sites.  What I've compared is the fee increase for each club over time. 

Ok, my figures are only based on a tiny sample size of one site from each club, so that alone is not statistically valid, but taken with other people's figures, it does point to the direction of travel:  the deeper I look, the more it appears CAMC fee increases have far outstripped the competition in the last year or two.  

Some won't care a hoot and that's fine too. 

I've only posted here because I believe what the original poster says is perfectly correct and my own historical figures very much support his assertion.

If you already own an outfit, Sites such as York RP and BW, are still good value, as you are very close to city centre attractions. You wouldn’t get any other kind of City Centre accommodation for a similar price per night. Hence, reasonable vfm. Car parking in York isn’t cheap, or plentiful either, so opting for a site further afield but cheaper might still not represent good value. Better option would be leave MH or car at P&R.

Yes there are alternatives. In the past I have stayed at BW many times, but the last two visits I have stayed on a C&CC CS for £15p.n. For me to pay even over £40p.n. it has to be somewhere special and BW isn't it. FYI the CAZ charge for some is £100 x 2 so absolutely rules out staying there if you are classed as an HGV.(over 3.5 tons).
