Silly site prices. Off season and peak season

Ok thanks.

How do you know hardly anyone does?

It is difficult to judge because many sites do not give the opportunity to go without EHU. If the numbers attending the shows (in the thousands per show) is anything to go by there is a large percentage of owners quite happy to do so, I have used quite a few venues this year without EHU when there was the opportunity and I have just booked an off grid CL for my next trip out.  I can see this being increasingly desirable when the predicted rise in electricity cost is reflected in pitch prices. I'm expecting another email from the Club any day now annoucing an increase.

If your outfit is equipped with facilities why pay for what you do not need?

Peedee ...not only shows but Temporary Holiday Sites which are usually very busy, especially in the good weather we've had.

with no option but to take the full EHU offering, perhaps those customers who don't need/want it are moving to THS type of sites as they can't get the 'value' they seek at CAMC sites. yes, you can have a non EHU pitch with C&CC.

Weve done 13 days over two non EHU THS locations this month. On a typical club site we'd get about 3-4 days for the same cost.

I think the non EHU movement will grow fast in the future purely as a way to lessen the financial burden which can only be a good thing👍🏻

We've done three non ehu holidays this year, although we've saved a certain amount cost wise we've done it more for the ambience on these sites. A lot quieter, in good spots, basically just more relaxing than some of the other options and quite pleasant to go back to basics. The good weather in the SW completely synched it! 🌝

We're off to a "proper" site soon but it's also one where no ehu is an option and is also very popular.

The CAMC site format doesn't always appeal to us so we're enjoying other providers.

PS We love non ehu Steamer Quay but we are aware CAMC is itching to upgrade it even though it's so popular!

I think the good weather bit is the key. Many folk who use CAMC sites also use expensive Calor, or Calor type refills. That might be offset to some extent by the lower prices off peak, but the price is still fairly high for September and two weeks of October half term. Get some colder weather and the fridge and heating will eat up a significant amount of expensive gas, particularly if you want to use your own facilities and also heat water. Anyway realistically what sort of discount is the CAMC going to give? £5 / 6 at most I suspect.

The C&CC discount is currently £6.50 , the C&MC is much less and is one of the most miserly. I have seen it as much as £10 but if site owners are honest about the future increases, the discounts will get even higher. Those off grid sites and those with meters can just carry on as normal and surely will become more popular? If you hav refillable gas tanks the price is not that bad. I paid 72.9p a litre last Friday.

Only by what people who use CCC sites have reported back on here? 

I'm not sure if my outfit is but I don't want to go without EHU and live from amp to watt without EHU.

Wasn't your last tour using quite a few club sites btw?

Of the 14 sites I used , only 4 were Club sites with EHU of course as there was no choice. Of the other 10, 6 were off grid and included two C&CC THSs.

As Steve says the weather was key, I would have probably been forced onto hard standing electric pitches had it been wet.

 My best estimate of gas used when off grid is 3 litres per day costing about £2.20. It is therefore much cheaper than paying for electricity in the summer months. In the winter there probably isn't a lot of difference.
