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

Sorry, JVB, but Cody has stated that the CMC would lose a couple of hundred pounds and he is more or less correct. Assuming he would be staying for at least 10 nights then the club is losing the total revenue not just the difference between the 2 sites quoted, which I assume is how you are arriving at £112 (14x£8).
It would be interesting if anyone could get their hands on the occupancy rate for those sites where there is good competition for places. If occupancy rates were to be less than 60% full then maybe the club do need to look at their rates as presumably for Easter they would have no problem filling the site if they were competitive. Don't know how you would get your hands on such facts though.

Of course you have the right to post on the club pricing structure, did I say otherwise? But equally you should respect other posts that perhaps don't share your views rather than try and insult them?
Anyway, thank you for making it simple, as I did have difficulty understanding your post and it's point
In fact I still don't, what do you expect from posting on here? That the club will answer - ok yes maybe,
Are you asking for discussion on your post? You know alternate views?
Was the point of your post to answer :
why are the club charging top whack when a lot of similar commercial sites are charging low season
(which btw wasn't in your OP)
If that was the point, it is no use asking us on here why the club are charging such prices, I, and I would think most on here, do not know the answer. I suggest you write to the club?

Unscientific I know and out of date but: looking at Google Maps the CC site seems twice as popular s Gwithian farm when the Google mapping was updated. The CC site is not competing for quite the same customer base as the CC site is members only

I've never seen club sites in Cornwall full at Easter, they get busy over the holiday weekend and that's it. Most won't travel the distance at this time of the year. If Easter's late there's a chance of better weather and a few last minute bookings.

Cody - you could go to Ayr Holiday park, St Ives @ £32.50 a night over the Easter period I believe- van, 2 adults and EHU! 
(I wouldn't. 
)
As I said earlier, you can find sites near club sites both more expensive and less.
(Haven't bothered to check any other sites in the area!
