"We look forward to welcoming you shortly on our UK Club campsites.


Ahead of your arrival, we wanted to give you advance notice that we’ll be making a small increase to our UK Club campsite prices for stays between 5 April 2022 and 3 January 2023 inclusive.


The unfortunate and sad events which have engulfed the world in recent weeks have meant worldwide electricity costs have increased exponentially. In fact the Club's electricity costs are forecast to increase by an unprecedented amount of around 50% this year.


The fairest way for the Club to manage the rising cost of energy required to run our UK Club campsites is for all members to pay a little bit extra when staying with us this year. This small price increase will support the Club in the face of the rising cost of energy and also help ensure that we can continue to reinvest in improving the UK Club campsite network.


What this means for you:


The increase will be between 70p and £2.50 per night depending on the season and the campsite you are planning to stay on. These calculations are based on a standard touring pitch and two adults.
From 5 April 2022 you’ll be able to see the exact new price you’ll pay by logging into ‘My profile’ and clicking on the ‘My UK Sites Bookings’ section.


There’s no need for you to do anything, on arrival at the campsite you will be charged the appropriate amount.


We appreciate this price increase will not be welcomed, however we would like to share that members have saved over £12.5 million on stays at our UK Club campsite network since July 2020, as the Club passed on the full Government VAT rate saving to members.


We need your support to ensure our wonderful Club can continue to operate all of our amazing campsites at the same high standards during the busy summer season and into the winter, when we expect utility costs to rise further.


What can you do to help:


Below are a few hints and tips to help reduce the cost of electricity usage when you are staying on one of our campsites.


If you have a solar unit on your outfit please use it as much as possible
Make sure indoor and outside lights, any heating appliances and electrical equipment are all turned off when you go out for the day and overnight
We want members to enjoy many holidays with the Club this year, so thank you for your continued loyalty and support, and we wish you an enjoyable 2022 season of touring.


Best wishes
The Caravan and Motorhome Club"

Having just spent some nights on an economy (no electric) pitch I would happily do the same again. But there are very few on the network, or so it seems to me.

Once, we booked an economy pitch, and it was in a rather grotty area of the site. As it was a quiet time, the Wardens moved us to a "proper" pitch and trusted us not to hook up. We didn't. 

The incentive of the recent pitch was the absolutely spectacular coastal views. And we were quite isolated, perched up there. So wonderful was it that we are going back on our return trip.

More options please.
