We stay at this site for short visits regularly throughout the year due to it’s proximity to Addenbrookes Hospital. Although we live down on the Kent coast, I have a rare medical condition that is treated by various specialist clinics at Addenbrookes. The site is fine for our needs as there is the quarry over the road for the dog to have a run around (the dog walk on site is only really adequate for very small dogs), a couple of nearby pubs with beer gardens if the weather is nice and various takeaways nearby if we don’t feel like cooking. Of course the main reason most people visit is it’s proximity to Cambridge. The state of pitches and facilities which some describe as ‘tired’ may be so but are fine for our short visits. What we find hardest to swallow is the price of this site. We stayed for one night about a week ago and had to pay £37.80p for our van and 2 people. I have another appointment in July which will no doubt be a similar high price but also one in December when by some miracle the price has dropped to £26.20p for 2 people and the van per night. I don’t understand the justification for these variations in price throughout the year. The pitch is the same, the facilities are the same, if anything we will use more electricity in the winter as it’s dark earlier and cold yet it’s considerably cheaper than the summer. The only and obvious reason I can come up with is to grab as much money as they can at the times of year when most people want to be out and about then when it’s quiet they have to reduce or else they would be empty. I don’t have a problem with sites that accept non members doing this to them but as the rest of us pay an annual fee, I think this should be for us to be able to pay a reasonable price all year round. Nearly £40 per night for a square of grass, a few litres of water and a few £’s of electric is not in my opinion reasonable but we are unfortunately stuck with it. Add on the price of the fuel these days and suddenly what should be a cheap short break isn’t.
