I am not quite sure why people are getting so exercised as to why the OP made their request? I am sure they have reasons and have already thanked those who have provided that information. Why on earth speculate as to the motives for asking? Had they wanted different information no doubt they would have asked a different or additional question.

I can see some of you are keen to know why I asked for the list of sites with no toilet block. It's simply down to the cost. We are retired and have always stayed on full facility sites and enjoyed using the showers etc. However with the cost of living increases starting to bite we still want to tour and will use our onboard facilities at the sites nellie provided and CL's.
Happy New Year to you all.

Since Covid, we have used a couple of sites without a toilet block, and have realised we can cope without these facilities. Toilet blocks are now not a necessity for us.... personally, I'd rather spend the money on full serviced pitches (I can leave the wastemaster and aquaroll at home). Really enjoyed our visits to Englethwaite Hall and Hebden Bridge...

Happy New Year to you as well😁 Take a look at the “Small Private Sites” thread, which is a sticky in this section. It was started a few years ago, and lots of folks have added favourite suggestions to it, including myself and Nellie. Some of these are excellent value for money, many are ex CLs that have outgrown the Club, and might just give you some further options. Have a good 2023👍

It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, the rising cost of living has on occupancy rates.
as above with the OP, some are moving to cheaper club sites, some to commercials and small private sites, many will turn to CLs/CS/THS sites...
Some of the pressure on the household budget is from 'indirect' everyday price increases, some of which can't really be avoided, but some like CAMC site price increases, directly affect the ability to tour...
price will become a more prominent ingredient in the decision to tour and for how long.

It may well do for those like us who spend 100 days plus touring. However, I’m not convinced it will to the large numbers in work who only do 2 / 4 weeks and the odd weekend.

Posted on 02/01/2023 12:41 byRecently on here we were " mulling over" attitudes about what constitutes extravagance. I have been a member since the late 70s (with a 5 year break)and whilst club sites have never been cheap it was the difficulty of getting pitches at peak rather than price that sent us to cls much of the time. However now seeing £30 plus as the norm I definitely regard pitch prices as an extravagance and if starting out now would think twice about the investment if all my caravanning was to be do at these rates.

We did not get a caravan until I was 52, having previously tented. Having gone to the expense of getting a suitable tow car, caravan and organising storage, I not sure the cost of pitches would put me off. Typically while working we managed 42 nights away, so £840 at £20 a night, £1680 at £40. Even the higher figure isn’t a major sum when you consider the cost of owning a caravan and suitable towing vehicle. I think that is far more likely to be the determining factor.
