I have just cancelled my two week stay at Looe caravan site after checking the updated prices I have since booked the same two weeks at nearby privately owned sites which are both of equal standards if not better and saved £200 how is that possible.

But then those with any form of consideration would have contacted the site in advance anyway

Surely if you arrive after 1pm there should be someone there to book you in. 😉 Personally I’m not sure consideration comes into it. Unless it ever became as easy to find places as over there, it would be sensible to ring ahead and check availability, or make an online booking when you stop somewhere on route.

Posted on 11/04/2022 09:14 by CornersteadyThe thing is K that you post these types of post, with great detail of the prices and savings against club sites and how the sites you are using are just as good if not better than club sites, full comparisons against club sites, how club sites should be cheaper...every few days, this one is the third in four days (and the second one today) in a similar vein. Your are perfectly entitled to do so of course but what is the point of these frequent posts all saying the same thing?
My post was more to show that there are almost always alternatives to Club sites if price is a factor, as there are quite a few members for whom a site has to be a Club one.
The way you have written is appears to say that club site users do not know there are alternatives and the parts in bold is disparaging of the fact the choice of site has to be a club one? So what if it is? Do you think that those that do use club sites need some form of education as to other sites? They can't make their own mind up without your frequent posts? Have you ever considered that perhaps those that use club sites do know there are other providers yet still make a conscious choice to use club sites? I won't speak for others but I do know there are other sites out there and I think the quality of club sites is far better, you don't and that is brilliant, you've found 'better' in your eyes but it is not better for everyone.
This appears to be some type of 'crusade' on your part to convert others to your now preferred way of touring. You are perfectly happy as said, and that is great so why not let other be perfectly happy with their choice?

I think K makes some very valid points and has also backed it up with some useful information. We are in the fortunate position of not having to worry too much about site costs. However, like anyone don’t like paying more than is necessary. In our case it’s all about a suitable site in the area we are interested in visiting. To date the CAMC has been our first port of call, purely down to ease of booking / amending. Once deposits are brought in that will no longer be the case, particularly if we can get a similar offering at a lower price where we want to be.

He does indeed and yes he does back it up, which I always approve of. But the same type of detailed post every few days, or twice in one day with exactly the same information or viewpoint is in my view labouring his valid points.
I think you prove in some ways my point? You do know other providers are out there yet have made a decision, so far, to continue using club sites.
I wouldn't worry about deposits too much just yet 'sometime in 2022' probably means after the summer?

- Sites like FM come to mind, and that is why consideration on the part of the arrival was posted

So far we’ve never come across one with an airlock. However, I assume they have an intercom. They could perhaps insist on you being a member if you turned up without a booking and could quickly check that. Although unless they security check any non members that do book, I would think any potential risk low.
