Good Site BUT we will not be returning while Electricity Metering remains in force

The site is in a good location for access to the motorway network, It is clean, tidy and well maintained. However this was our first encounter with metered electricity and it ruined our break. The instructions for use are not vey clear and the metering website is slow, clunky and unreliable. Worse than that, the cost is astronomical. For a £5 per night reduction we averaged a £13 per night spend. The unit rate is 45p per kWhr compared to the 29p national average - thats 55% uplift - somebody is making a killing and I suspect it’s not the Club!! Also if like us, you do not use the site toilets and showers we are effectively paying twice for our hot water - once through the site fee and again through the metering charges. If this rolls out across the CAMC we will be giving careful consideration to whether we should renew membership. DONT discount the Pitch fees, add £5 to them and leave things alone. ps I have no problem with the “no electricity” discount scheme.

Crikey, what were you using to use over 26 units of electricity each day. The max we ever use at home is 10 units a day and that takes into account of the dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier and all other household appliances. Bet your awning was cosy and warm though. We were on a metered CL in Shropshire last Spring and never used more than 5 units a day.
