Silly site prices. Off season and peak season

The site prices are fully explained on the web site, but as some have said before far less so in the handbook. On each sites web-page, scroll down below the pictures of the site and the breakdown is there. The total price per night varies throughout the year, and depends on the number of adults, number of children, plus a pitch fee of £7.60 per night (in early March). Add these together and you get your £22.40. If anyone were to choose a non electric pitch, I see that's a massive £6.10 per night less at £1.50 than a standard with EHU at £7.60.... Hmmm.

 

So that's one adult on a non awning non EHU pitch in low season. Whilst the website is clear enough, the handbook headline price can only be described as devious.

The CAMC appear to have deliberately pursued an obscurantist policy when it comes to pricing. That coupled with the elastic interpretation of high season' is indicative that the whole thing is driven by the bean counters. 

I feel sure many more will be voting, as will I, with their wheels.

I have no problem with the way the CC presents prices on the booking website itself. I have never had any interest in 'Prices From' in any form of advertising - not just the club. I want to know the prices for the times that I wish to use a site and for the number of occupants etc. 

It is unfortunate that the hard copy prices leaflet is not yet available perhaps but, as I would be unlikely to refer to it, no inconvenience to me personally

Totally agree CY, whilst the headline price is factually correct, it does absolutely nothing to add to people's understanding of what a particular site may cost, in fact quite the opposite as per the OP's post.

Personally I have always ignored the headline price and gone straight to the detail.

Strangely enough the web site quotes from £8 at Bladon Chains but the actual basic price is £8.90 (one adult non ehu.) So which is right the book or the web site? Looks like they are both wrong!

Prices "from" are ok as long as they are correct.

Some points to mention...

I've noticed that ACSI campsites in France this year have mostly gone up by around 12%...and the EHU for non-ACSI by about 20%

But.....I wonder what the average number of nights CC members actually use CC sites per year, as the yearly membership cost have to be factored in.

Personally, I would rather see a reduced membership fee for people who don't want the monthly magazine, which in my opinion doesn't justify the effort of producing.

If the club are charging up to £6 per night for EHU I would like to see metered leccy as I am very confident we don't use that much per day, even in winter, and absolutely no chance of using that much in summer. How much is Calor again ?

Although I have not opened a mag in years except to look at an article mentioned on forum I suspect that its advertising revenue justifies its cost and circulation rather than being funded from membership fees.

 

Prices might have been right at the time the handbook was being printed though Brue
