Worried for the club (price rises}

Now you might like staying in holiday cottages but personally Its not something that appeals to me. Most people caravan/motorhome because they like their own space and a space they know. Probably the reason most of us do it is that we know exactly what we have with not nasty surprises.

Agee 100%. Although we did use cottages when we only had tents and winter camping didn’t appeal. However, we didn’t purchase a caravan and then a Motorhome to only use it in the good weather.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your feedback on pricing which I will forward to the relevant teams. 

Just a polite reminder to keep discussions on topic and friendly. Many thanks. 

Wasn't the reason you couldn't book a full week or weekend because people could book without having to pay a deposit and then cancel 3 days prior or no-show.

Deposits have had the intended effect of reducing speculative booking.

(To be clear I am not a fan of deposits, I think other ways could have been found to resolve the issue).

Price increases have also had an effect and in these economically challenging times people are no doubt making decisions about how often to camp and where.   

Whilst I do book ahead for "must do" sites and times for shorter breaks I now book 24 hours ahead because, as the OP says, availability on most sites doesn't seem to be an issue.  

Post removed by me as no longer needed. 

Went to Tewsksbury last week , site was practicaly full every day

We also found that we could never find a pitch at Broadway it was always full . 
I know why now we were there in the spring and there was a lot of space. We won’t be going again due to the high price.
