You are way off the mark there JV. Those of us who tour predominantly using CLs don’t want or need Club Site clones, with lots of facilities and prices to match. Hence the reason why some of us are posting to say just how expensive some CLs have become.
I don’t have a problem with CLs putting in whatever they want onto their sites, that’s their prerogative and I trust their researched business model, with a price they deem suitable. It isn’t usually our first choice to actively seek CLs with everything laid on, namely because we know they might cost more than we want to pay. It’s not a hard and fast rule, if it’s the only option in our chosen area, giving a perfect location, then we might pay a bit more, simply because it will be part of a tour where our given nightly fee might range from £0-£20 a night, and it will vary greatly at time of year. At the moment, we would be happy with a mown field, a tap, a bin and the peace and tranquillity that goes with it. Which we have found we can get for around £8 per night. Come the cold, the wet, and we will need more. So we pay more.

What reviews JV?, I don’t understand🤔. I was pointing out its not just newcomers but many established users in fact more so who seek bells & whistles-choice see. Btw, I use all offerings from everywhere in the UK. I never pin myself down to just one thing as that gets stale for me. ‘Try everything at least once’👍🏻

We actually use both methods but only take the washing machine if going on a long tour to out of the way CLs. We never used to but found it increasingly difficult to find a clean launderette that we would want to use and a couple of laundry places lost articles of clothing so we bit the bullet a few years ago and bought a machine. If a site has a washing machine then that's great for the bedding and towels but Mrs.WN does the smalls every day regardless of whether we have a machine with us or not. Machine travels on back seat of the car so no eating into payload.
Never bother taking the machine abroad.
We have actually seen an old fashioned mangle appear out of a caravan in Spain. Amazing what people cram into their outfits.

I think one of those little machines could well be a purchase for us when we get back to months at a time touring. We have been fortunate with laundrettes, always been ok, and never had anything go missing.

I hope there are still areas to visit. Some of the most beautiful forests have been hit by really bad fires. I was watching a report this afternoon. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Newer CLs seems be priced in the £14-£25 range depending on facilities. Most of the CLs I've been on over the last couple of years occupancy wise are stuffed, I won't say overstuffed as that would be controversial. I conclude that in addition to the rising costs of running a CL that supply and demand are now also increasing cost.

Now that is very strange thing to say JVB as you jolly well know I and others are regular contributors to CT and also write site review. As a matter of fact I wrote my 164th review yesterday and have a few more to do in the not too distant future. So you are wrong again, I'm sorry to say.

You'll have to explain what you mean, JVB, as this makes no sense to me.
