CL Price Rises

Definitely, just checked on map🤣🤣 I am out of practice sadly on Cornwall. Although we aren’t that familiar with North anyway.

Just an update on my original post.

I am at present on a cl at Wisbech, Cambs. It is a level hard standing with ehu. Toilet and shower are designed with disabled in mind, very wide entrance doors and large floor area. Shower is a wet room. Washing up area inside a laundry, with would you believe it a free washing machine. Also free wifi near the house. Price £17. The owner has apologised because next year she is putting the price up by £1

So you see not all cl owners are hell bent on large price increases.

Sounds good, harry. Enjoy your stay.

I know the one you mean, harryb, Common Right Barn, we stayed there back in May for 9 days.  Teresa is lovely, site is lovely with big pitches.  We had the bikes with us and really enjoyed all the cycling we could do in every direction.  Not surprised the price is going up next year, £17 for all that is fantastic. Enjoy your stay.

I saw your site review.

I won't leave a one this time as I left one in 2018 when we were there last and to be quite honest there s nothing to add to it other than the Chequers pub down the lane is now open full time.

My next stop is a non EHU basic site with a handbook price of £7. I was a bit taken aback to be advised that it was now £12. Whilst I feel that £10 is reasonable for a basic non EHU CL, the jump from the book price (last year) was a bit of a surprise. It may be that it's a bit of a catch-up from a pre-covid time a few years back.

Handbook price???? The next handbook will be the last printed one thankfully

If it is true and members are not going to receive a hard copy handbook at some point I hope the club will consider reducing membership fees.

That may be your opinion, but there are lots of us who tour a lot that much prefer the handbook. There are still plenty of locations where the phone/Wi-Fi signal is poor or non-existent and having a printed book to refer to to find ones next destination or directions to a site is essential.

Having spent the past ten days or so meandering around rural Suffolk, the absence of a phone signal has made the Handbook absolutely essential.  Its withdrawal will be a further incentive for many to terminate their membership. No point in having the biggest CL network if you've no idea where they are located. Given the reliability of the CAMC website, I could end up with a pitch on a CL twenty miles south of Portland Bill.
