Is anyone finding the site fees are becoming unaffordable especially for 2 adults and 3 kids? Over £60 per night in some places. It's not like we are taking up anymore space or using more electricity. Cheaper to get a hotel with breakfast included and someone makes your bed!

If you really want to try an expensive site, this popped up on Facebook earlier this evening... Dwr Cwmru who own Llys-y-Fran reservoir are opening a camp site. For us, a serviced pitch (and I'm not even sure if that includes a grey water drain'), with an awning and a dog, the cost in the summer works out at £66 a night!!

I don't get all this talk of being exploited or being overcharged? How is this possible?
The club sets it's prices but you are the one that is paying, you are the one that decided to book then turn up on a club site and pay. Why are people paying (and if you're not paying then you're not being overcharged) if they feel it's exploitation or over charging? Surely, as we're often told, there will be a better and cheaper site nearby?
I saw two petrol stations quite nearby today one Tesco at £1.37 and another literally almost over the road but equally accessible, Shell at £1.44. Now what would be the point of choosing Shell then posting on the 'Shell forum' that it is overcharging? The same principle applies for club and non club sites doesn't it?
In my view club sites prices are still middle of the road.

Posted on 16/07/2023 07:24 by peedeeQuite the opposite in fact, they don't seem to realise that owners of well equipped outfits don't need many of the facilities offered and often seek out simple basic sites or pitches which offer better value.

I would say they are much more relevant. If you own an RV and are attending an event, exhibition, concert etc for 1 / 3 days, hotels are clearly an option. London for instance, Abbey Wood is a very reasonable £38.30 currently, rising to £48 / £49 as we move into school holidays. It would cost an extra £28 in fuel over using our car, so 3 nights with easy access to central London, for £140 to £175 in July / August. A bargain I would suggest. Other examples are available.
