CLs instead of Club sites

Sorry to disappoint BB but I set up then fill up. It is a simple job as water points are never ever far away and sometimes we will use a service pitch. An Aquaroll { other makes are available} is as the name suggests roll and makes the job effortless. We are going over old ground here but I don't understand the negativity over a tool that works so well. like a pair of shoes is designed for walking to the tap with a container to fill another container......it works !

  That is some mileage well done. also agree with you it does make you focus on resources.

 No disappointment here, ADP...what works, works👍

We only fill our water barrel on arrival after that i just keep it topped up with a couple of six litre watering cans fiiled when taking anything to the rubbish bins ,about every three days

I have never used a club site, most C.L. will charge per unit, and a few charge extra if more than two persons

a club site will charge a pitch fee & charge each person in your unit, too expencie

CL's charge a fixed price for a unit, throughout each season ,but I have found especially for caravan single occupancy that the CCC with their Age Concession Rate works out cheaper.

I notice from recent additions to the network that CL prices are rising quite substantially, particularly as some try to emulate the facilities provided by club sites. If the differential narrows too much, CL's may find that they lose business to small commercials who are often cheaper than club sites.

CY, The going rate for farm based sites with 15 or 20 pitches in this part of the world is £20 or £21 - that’s with full facilties of course. One with the Cornish name of Gwel an Nans at Cardinham near Bodmin is a good example of that type of site. Their website has photos and lists what they offer and UKCampsite has the reviews. 

We stayed a great, fully serviced, CL in Northumberland last year.  It was £15 a night.  The owner said that they would have to increase prices for 2022 due to the electric cost rising substantially.  I assume that will the case with all CL’s unfortunately.  

I'm looking at CLs near Truro at the moment, we've used Carnon Downs previously but as it's well over £30 a night at this time of the year (we like to visit early Spring gardens) and the CL prices are well below the larger site offerings. Some are just as good as the bigger sites.

Although, yes, some CLs are creeping up in price but they're still unique.

        No longer a CL but Bracken Farm, Helston is brilliant and £25 per night .
