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

Doesn't help those that can only take the weeks around Easter off does it?

School holidays and the Easter holiday period is generally a time when Leisure companies can maximise their income. Having this period when demand is high everybody pays a proper price for pitches. This helps subsidise sites during times of low occupation. Otherwise sites would close.

It's market forces I'm afraid. It's up to everybody to shop around and find the best value for money. There are always bargains to be had.

cool

Hi guys well at the risk of being heckled off the forum,my opinion is that the club sites are still good value for what you get.I have long ago accepted the fact that our hobby is not a cheap one .Last year we used about 6 CL,s all of which were great .But we will always use club sites when we can ,as long as we are members.Because in my opinion if we are not supporting the Club then what’s the point in being a member.

Just my views of course πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š

No heckling BJ but CLs are my main reason for joining.smile

It's interesting that Club sites are expanding in size and CLs are on the decline, despite many thinking Club sites are overpriced.undecided

Good point, Nevers. I think the difficulties some people report in trying to book pitches speaks volumes as well.
