Exciting News! At Wyatts Covert Club Campsite we’re trialling Smart Metering, which means you will only pay for the amount of electricity you use during your stay.

The price quoted for bookings at this campsite excludes electricity (with campsite fees reduced accordingly) and we will only charge you for the precise amount of electricity you use during your stay.

This is something many members have been asking for and we’re really pleased to be able to trial it this year! Find out more at https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/smartmetering/

Can I make a plea? I think this thread is really useful and will become more so once members start to visit during the trial. We have now had a couple of posts removed. I have no idea why, didn’t see them before they were removed. This is in no way at all a “ get” at those whose posts have been removed. I don’t pretend to understand why posts are removed but can we try and make sure that this thread is not closed ( as another useful thread recently was) because of too many “off topic” threads? 
Thank you.

Thanks Brue,

The information states "(Price reductions based on 1 Pitch and 1 Adult)".  I wonder if this means that the reduction for 1 Pitch and 2 Adults will be greater?

It looks like the price reduction between 16th May and 17th for 1 person is £3 and £5 for 2

 No I think the reduction is per pitch as stated plus the VAT.

If you do a test booking and look at availability for May using 1 person then 2 you will see the difference between 16th before the change and the 17th 1st day of the change.

We have a booking at Wyatts Covert for 2 people, 4 nights, late May / early June.  
Here’s a snippet from the email received from the Club, think I posted the full message up thread. 
Average reduction of £2.83 / night. 
Don’t think we’ll be taking up the metering option, not worth the mither for 4 nights.

What does this mean for me?


You don’t need to do anything until you arrive at the campsite. As you have an existing booking at Wyatts Covert for 2023 you have the option of taking part in the trial. If you choose to take part we will reduce the price of your original booking when you arrive and you will be able to pay only for the electricity you use. You can of course decide not to take part in the trial and therefore your booking will be unaffected.

We’ve calculated the reduction in your booking for you below…


The original total price for your booking with electricity is £221.16
The updated total price for your booking without electricity is £209.86
Reduction total £11.30 for your stay
Reduction average £2.83 per night

£221.16 for 2 people 4 nights seems rather expensive £55.29 a night
