Pitch Prices

Superb recommend EuroT👍 Our kind of place, and it’s set us off dreaming I can tell you. 

Your second paragraph above entirely misses the point being made by those, like DK, for example, concerning the location and view comparison of the two sites you referred to. The view might not matter to you, but pricing is set for the wider market. It is inevitable that a site on the loch edge, and with one of the best viewpoints in the entire network, will be priced higher than those lacking those advantages.    

Prices are not set with your interests in mind.

The differential in this case, assuming your figures are correct, is a lot, I'll agree to that, but whether it is excessive is debateable, particularly as the CCC price is after a concession not available to all.  

Personally, I'd choose Bunree every time. I first went there in 1987 and have always thought of it as my all time favourite site, despite those pesky, but necessary, traffic lights which you begin to think will never change! North Ledaig is nice too, but Bunree is better. 

I have just booked a stay at the Cambridge C&CC site £15.80 per night cheaper, yes £15.80 per night difference than the Cherry Hinton site just three miles away! This is comparing like with like, hardstanding with 16 amp EHU. Even removing the over 60 discount there is still a huge difference. I have stayed on both sites before at varies times and if you know both, it is very hard to understand this difference? If I had used a grass without electric pitch at the C&CC site the saving would have been a massive £24.9 per night but with wet weather in the forcast I considered that too risky. I also looked at a nearby commercial site price, a bit further out from Cambridge centre, hardstanding 10 amp EHU, £26 per night so still a huge difference of £15+ per night but not so convenient.

At these differences the C&MC stands no chance of obtaining my patronage this year.

There is a huge difference when we are visiting as well, £9.80 on a two night stay if I remove the over 60’s discount to give a fair comparison. Not been before, but we don’t like Cherry Hinton, it is the only CAMC site we have visited that we wouldn’t go back to. There appears to be a regular bus into town, so it should suffice just as well.

Obviously "Never Knowingly Undersold" doesn't apply!!! We like the C&CC Cambridge site as its more open and level. Access into town by bus not quite as good as Cherry Hinton although perfectly adequate and nowhere locally to walk to eat except a rather nice Garden Centre. However at that price difference if would certainly persuade me in favour of the C&CC site.

It is in a lovely situation, but now charging £32 per night in June!

 Gosh! Just checked it. Still prefer Port Appin though. 

What a nice cl, I'd happily pay £32 for that. Just reminds me how much we've got to see after we retire, not long now.

I have just booked 2 weeks at the C&CC site at Dartmouth in September and at £26 per night (with ACR), it seems very reasonable.  We usually stop off at Broadway for a couple of nights - going out and coming back but at £44 per night, I looked for alternatives.  We will be staying at the C&CC site at Blackmore instead (which is a nice site - we have stayed there before) and it's half the price of Broadway. Looks like this club, won't be getting any business from us this year.

It does of course depend where you want to be, especially with a MH. Blackmore is certainly a substitute for Malvern Hills and we actually prefer it. However, for us preferring to leave the MH on site, it certainly can’t substitute for Broadway.

The club certainly don’t seem to have any problems filling flagship sites like Chatsworth, even with high prices and deposits. November is already approximately 60% full on all pitch types with still 7 months to go. There are certainly cheaper options, but none as convenient for just walking into the estate through the gate in the wall.
