Great location, too expensive.

Posted on 06/01/2019 16:52 by TinwheelerDid you not realise the price when you booked?

We only booked the night before so had limited choice of sites. My main gripe is that the site was charging £30 per night which is well over the odds for what it is. It’s not the only one that’s over-priced - several now cost more than private sites. We go to north wales for example on a superb site that costs a lot less per night. It comes to something when even the wardens are embarrassed about how much it costs.

The trouble is that none of us know how much it costs to operate any particular site which is why comparing a club site with a privately owned site many miles away in a totally different type of location with different overheads isn’t comparing like with like.
At the end of the day, all we can do is accept the prices as they are and pay up if it’s where we want to be, or to vote with our feet if we consider the price to be too high. Booking and paying is tantamount to accepting those fees and leaves the site operator believing the price was right.

Posted on 09/01/2019 20:45 by JVB66I take it the North Wales site and charges are for the same "peak " period?

I could have used a commercial site and paid about £25 for Christmas period. I thin that Southport was just over £30 but for my 15 nights averaged at £27 with some being outside the peak. The commercial site is one that I used in the past on an occasion and it was OK. However not as well located being 5 miles from town centre and I think a greater emphasis on statics now compared to when I used it.
