Are you falling into the trap?

We have always assumed the CLs would be cheaper than the main CC sites, however after trawling through CLs in a specific county I was shocked.

Outside the peak season, we found that many CLs, once you add in the cost of extas like an awning fee, etc., are more expensive than using a CC site down the road.

In future we will be checking the cost of the CC site in the locality we want to visit and comparing with the cost of using a CL with no facilities. 

If the CL cost more then we will probably use the CC site.  If the CL is only marginally cheaper than using a CC site, i.e. £1 - £3 we may consider using the CC site.

Luckily for us we now have a solar panel etc and can start using the non EHU CLs which it seems can give us a saving of up to £8 per night depending on the CL.

Have you fallen into the trap of not checking the cost at a CC site that is local to where you want to be and comparing it with the cost of the CL?
