    I think you will find that Commons Wood used to be a two couple site with a manager who in the past also sorted all the storage paper work, but is now run by one couple and the relief wardens use the single unit that used to be the assistants accommodation, hence there are the two park homes from about 20yrs ago

    Ps hence the reason there are a lot of ex ccc staff now cc wardens

    Pps also the ccc staff have to "rent"space if they want to also give their members a sevice of on site "shops"

    I take it that the dates  were also the same and both had swimmimg pools

     Ps the accommodation at Grafham was bought with the site (ex one of Oliver Cromwells cottages) as  the park home site is owned by the cc

    See my  post on Commons Wood staffing levelssurprised

    Ps  one of the problems that both clubs have on Jan closing or all year sites is getting staff to man them as I think both clubs warden contracts are for a Max 10months (some legal thing?)so maybe the cc with more open for longer periods have decided that by supplying accommodation helps with staff for sites surprised

    Thanks for the info JV, certainly 2 lots of wardens on site at the mo. The storage seems quite busy with lots of vans being collected.

    It could be that the  site wardend have decided to stay on site instead of going home for their 6 days per month off

    The storage is always busy at weekend's as more are now going to sites (as us) year round,as will be Ashridge Farm 400 +LVs although Commons Wood has 500+LAs in storage

    £24.80 for two nights at Chichester? That's amazing value, even with the age discount which I assume you got! How did you manage to get a deal like that?  undecided

    Interestingly also that the price quoted for Grafham water (£61.40) sounds like it must have been peak with a service pitch for a couple? next years top peak prices for two nights are £55.40 on a non service pitch and £63.60 for a SP. There could have been more people of course just as the much cheaper Chichester site could have been off peak with fewer people? Difficult to compare prices without details of dates and people although they weren't meant to do that I imagine in that post? Going back to the OP I don't think the warden's accommodation plays much part in the running costs and/or of these prices?

    Can't  say I've noticed any difference, friendly welcome, bit of banter if not busy, helpful and knowledgeable.

    Facilities clean, warm and usable. 

    Sites overall very similar, some better than others.

    That's remarkable - is that for 2 adults and with EHU? We got to quite like C&CC sites but would have liked them even more with that sort of value!

    Not quite as good, best price this trip was Moffat and Blackmore both £16.05. Dearest Brighton which I expected, about £22 I think.

    EDIT, Brighton £22.50, Devises £18.75, Commons Wood £20

    Have to say that as sites go we have liked Moffat, Blackmore and Devises more than Commons Wood. Brighton is big and very well looked after, just the approach to it and the town in general we were not keen on. Devises we would use again in better weather, has lots to offer.

    Plus a price comparison, that for Chichester is a bit "unusual"

    Chichester sounds a bargain. Must investigate as it would make a good local venue. Costwise, having just been to C&CC's Chertsey site, I compared CAMC Henley as it is another site we've visited a couple of times around this time of year and the price was within a few pence of each other.

    Um ... possibly because you brought up the subject of price? undecided

    You could have said what you said about accommodation without mentioning price at all. Still, as you say, it's almost the weekend! frown

    I think DD, having brought up the subject of price comparison, has, very sensibly, decide to take a step back on that one! laughing

    Why are so many people continuing to make this a discussion about price when it's supposed to be about accommodation ? undecided

    Anyone explain how/when that started? laughinglaughing
