Can't see the comparison ET

More to do with quality and ambiance? Club sites are far too expensive in that reapect?

Not sure I quite follow but I think that you are saying better ambiance on commercial sites. Not my experience. For the times we tour I usually find commercial sites no cheaper and sometimes dearer than nearby club sites

One day this Club will hire managers who understand Dynamic pricing structures - adjusting prices regularly to meet supply and demand, - cutting prices to try to fill empty pitches at short notice, and putting them up when demand is greater. There will be no printed list of fixed prices a year ahead. Look how RyanAir prices move. Look how supermarkets shift stock. None of them print prices in advance. 

You been reading the runes again ET?

 

We are booked for Torbay April/May, a regular visit for us to the same 'commercial site' we have visited for years and to catch up with friends. It is a quiet spot we have reserved with unrestricted views across the bay -  Site fees work out at 23.95 per night. 

Local Club site works out at 24.42 per night for the same period.

Also Booked another 'commercial' facility in Cornwall with a Beach facing pitch (literally feet from the beach) in a quiet spot, that works out at 28.14 per night.

Stunning site on a working farm in Dorset near the Jurassic Coast, £28 per night

Daleacres Club site (Kent) based in Hythe 24.60 per night.

'Commercial' does not have to equate to larger operations, although those above are, CL sites are also 'commercial' with many now providing good facilities at reasonable prices. I can only speak as I have found, in fairness some sites I would not go anywhere near in the high season, but when touring outside of this period they are quiet and can be better value - I think the suggestion of a more 'dynamic' pricing structure makes a whole lot of sense if the 'club' are going to compete in an ever growing leisure market.

Sometimes it is worth paying a little bit more for a commercial site for a different experience rather than use a Club site.

peedee

Yes WTG, by commercial sites I meant non Club sites or CLs. So are you comparing 'bang for bucks' (so to speak) of CC sites and those overseas then? Such price comparisons are, for me, irrelevant as different countries have different socio-economic situations. Comparison of club sites and non club sites is valid and although I use a mixture of both of the main clubs and also non club sites my preferrence is for CC sites.

I have, when there is not a convenient club site and have often 'paid a little bit more' to do so. That is why I am able to state my general preference for CC sites. 

If you find otherwise PD it is doubtless down to the well known fact that we are all different
