the club need to check the pricing. On searching Treamble Valley the from price was totally different to the cheapest cost which was in October for one person and pitch.

I agree with you, the only way to get the dates needed is to book for the year and cancel those dates not required 72 hours before the deadline.

The absence of readily available prices is, IMHO, merely a ruse to disguise the inexorable increases in the cost of staying on a club site. I sampled a couple with which I am familiar to find that, for the archetypal unit plus two adults, they vary between around £26 low season to well over £30 in high season. I didn't dare look at the "honeypots". 

All I can say is, thank goodness for the CL network as I would think it unlikely that I shall ever visit a club site again unless it was a 'no facs' one.

Totally agree with your first sentence.

I have looked at 4 most popular sites and the difference in price from low to high season is up to £13.50 per night for two people. 

                            Peak                     Off Peak

Black Knowl       35.30                     23.40

Baltic Wharf        36.60                     23.80

Chatsworth        36.40                     22.90

Rowntree Park   36.50                     23.20    

That took a while using the new system of looking on line. If the price had been in the handbook then it would have been more instant

Yes, thank heavens for cl's

Sorry for thinking the post had been deleted I had looked in the wron g section.

Thanks for the explanation. It does seem to be a point the could be addressed by the club. It is annoying to think you have posted a worthy reply only for the post to be stopped.

Sad to say I wouldn't have any expectations that there will be a whole raft of improvements to the way this forum works! Even if we had a merge facility as some forums do it is not completely fool proof as it tends to merge posts in date order which can cause a bit of confusion.

You can always ask for the site fees list by post  (as this years prices were),,if they were in the latest handbook what will you do for 2020 prices?

CL prices are very rarely as per what is in the handbook

It's gone up £5.50 since the present handbook. It also now has two price bands with a difference between each of 20p per pitch and 10p per adult. 

Whoever sat round the table and thought that one up. The lower price is for 2 weeks at the beginning of the season, I wouldn't have bothered.

Posted on 23/12/2018 12:22

The price shown in the current handbook is over two years agowink

Above quote refers to Kinlochewe site.

The increase of £5.50 really needs qualifying Harry. It has only gone up by that amount for the days that midweek discount was available, as that is no longer on offer. Otherwise it is an increase of £1.90 from 2017 to 2019. The reason for MWD is lack of interest midweek, so if the site has become more popular of course the CAMC are going to discontinue it.

It was never available in May anyway, which in my opinion is one of the best times to go.

Certainly not true, JVB, and they are nowhere as different as the prices on CC sites between one year and the next.
