Was thinking of staying at Godrevy Park Cornwall during the Easter holidays but the club are charging top whack for the full two weeks, 29.00 for a grass pitch, I can stay at Gwithian farm on a hard standing for 21.00, site is just up the road and a little closer to the beach.

Another couple of hundred quid the club can afford to chuck, take it or leave it

On the other hand, we've just booked 5 nights at Exebridge Lakeside for a touch under £120.

In the same area we could have gone to Waterrow (£164) or Exe Valley (£133) - both very good sites which we've used in the past, but more expensive for us than the club site.

Always pays to shop around - you pays your money and you makes your choice! smile

Exbridge lakeside works our at 26.70 per night over the Easter holidays

 Only if your 14 days start on the day before Good Friday. I assumed your two weeks meant the week before and after Easter weekend, school holidays around here.

Our 5 nights - Tuesday to Sunday work out at £118.70 compared to the other sites I quoted. smile

Godrevy has always been a pricey site but very popular nevertheless. The grass pitches are, of course, on fast draining sandy soil.

Perhaps JK can give us an insight as to whether running costs are high or if the club simply charges that much because it can.

I don't see the reason, apart from the Easter weekend I bet all the club sites in Cornwall will be less than half empty.

Not when we were there in September 2015 they weren't!

More like waterlogged mud.  Grass ruined by awning groundsheets too.

It was even worse in October. Glad the Club has introduced some non awning pitches on the site. I might change my booking when I can find out where they are located on the site.
