Just looking through the July Magazine and noticed an add on page 13 that says REMEMBER all this is included in your pitch fee,:- Kids go free, haven't got any we are 70 years old :- Dog's go free, haven't got one :- Free hot shower, use my own :- Awnings are free, don't use one :- Free electric hook up, some sites are trialling meter and it's included in pitch fee.:- Free WI-FI, if you can connect. Would it not be better to give senior's a bit of a discount like other club's do. Just found it funny only bit of any use to me is I suppose the hook up. Kevin.

In the past when we used CAMC sites a lot.

I used to look at putting a tour together, then look at the sites along the way. Having the price band/list was helpful as it allowed me to avoid high band prices and use CLs or private sites instead.

Having to put in dates on every site just to get a price is a PITA  private and commercial sites tend to have just 3 price band low, med and high. If there is an additional charge for awnings or dogs and children then it's your decision if you are happy to pay that. 

Give me simple and clear pricing.

The other problem i find is most club site prices are pitch and 1 person why do this when surely the majority of booking's would be pitch and 2 people.

That’s the headline 'from' price. It used to be for pitch + 2 people but they changed it a few years ago. As to why - you’d need to ask CAMC.

 It may come as a surprise to some people but around a quarter of bookings are for single travellers billiejo. It takes seconds to change to two people.

Of put it another way 3/4 of those that book have to work out what it will cost them, so not very democratic.

That would be fine by me as long as there would still be the option to reduce the number of people to 1.

I mainly go away on my own and if I had to pay for a pitch +2 people I'd go somewhere else.

If I stay on a site where showers and EHU etc. are included,  I make sure I use as much of the facilities as possible. Why shower, wash up etc in the van when the showers are paid for. If you really don't want to pay for these then there are more basic sites available surely?

I can't agree more that is why we only use CL can't see the point in spending loads of money on caravan or motorhome with own facilities and not use them.

Couldn't agree more. We use properly equipped sites, wash ourselves and dishes with their plentiful hot water and dont spend our time lugging water backwards and forwards.

but I don't like lugging dishes across the site so wash them in our caravan 😉😉
