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/

Probably Woodovis Moulesy, it’s in the ACSI scheme.

wrong, for the last few years i have stayed at the Woodovis site for the month of September, it has one of my must haves "heated indoor swimming pool" and quite often during September i have the pool to myself, it does not have

"The lovely facilities include large individual bathrooms, "

facilities are very good but probably not up to CAMC , and are probably overworked when the site is full, but never been when the site is full

"The site is truly mixed. Tiny tents, with cars, vans large and small, and motor bikes to large c/vans and MH's. Even a German estate car with a Thule roof tent."

could be the CCC just outside Tavistock ?

p.s. Woodovis is now almost self sufficient for electricity, they have installed their own solar farm together with batteries etc, the swimming pool has always been supplied from solar energy

I have some sympathy with his position it is a case i think of "what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander" and i have taken some stick for recommending what others consider to be naff sites, but my take right now with an increase in sight fees, fully metered sites that could end up looking like a solar farm if lots of folk opt for portable solar panels instead of using the EHU, is just go for what suits you, I am even considering using sites much closer to home, one popped up today on the forum 45 mins from home, so i spend £5 on diesel instead of £50 and have a cracking time, however, it probaly would not suit some on here, will wait for a response from you know who. wink my only reservation is that it is quite close to Chichester caravans and i might come home £20k lighter with a new van in towcool

Wrong, and I don't think Woodovis accepts ACSI, but it does look nice, thanks for the tip.

Pliers - By expensive I mean I think you're being overcharged, look at the advertised prices now they do not add up to what you're being charged.

Just taken a look, and, yes, the current prices are lower.
But they don’t include electricity, which will be metered. 
Knowing my luck, if we cancel and rebook on the new system, the electricity costs will be more than the initial savings 😱.

You're correct they don't include electric but they are significantly cheaper than  the option they gave you without electric, check your original booking and make sure there's not been a mistake it doesn't seem right with this club prices seem to always go up not down.
