CLOSED - Prices of pitches

I also think diesel is too expensive, but I still use it.

The thing is, Ian, if you've got a diesel car there's no alternative to buying diesel but I guess you still shop around for the best deal. So why not do the same with sites? If one considers CC sites too expensive for what they provide then surely one looks elsewhere? 

The thing is Moulesey, we do.

We're on a CS next week.....we cancelled our booking at Bearsted.

We stayed on two commercial sites for two weeks in May, after dismissing CC sites because of the price and lack of serviced pitches.

BB - you'll note that my criticism, if such it was, was not about folk who complain about site prices, more my puzzlement that they continue to use them extensively.

As far as I'm concerned CC sites are good value for us when we use them - but that's far less than we used to, and certainly less than many on here who do complain about them.

Of course, it's entirely up to you what you choose, Ian, but 3 weeks (was it) at Broadway and another at Brighton is more CC nights than us for the past 2 years put together. Nothing wrong with using those sites. I'm just puzzled why you don't use more economical
alternatives more of the time? 

There are quite a few with a "few years" of useing leisure vehicles, have been there done it, for more years and in more places,and camp sites than we are ever likely to do in the future,but have always come back to the bbc of c clubs

Sorry, but as I see it the choice of site is entirely up to each of us. If the price of a club site suits you then it is nobody elkes business why you do not go somewhere cheaper. If you are happy that is all that matters

I do so agree, it is a shame that people are ridiculed for their consistent choice in using club sites

..So true

Campervan person, two adults, one dog in this country, we don't use the CC sites anymore, we use the insurance and red pennant etc. Not because of the price, the sites are just not up to it anymore, lots of other sites out there which offer far more for
your money. We use Flowers Camping in France vary a bit but are value - we use Tranquil Sites or A N Other in the UK. There are just better sites out there now - CC has been left behind trying to plese all of the people all of the time and is just not a club
anymore.

...As has been said before everyone has a choice, but as for being left behind it depends what you want, as both the main uk clubs sell hundreds of thousands of nights per year so there are more than enough who are happy wth the product

I agree JBV66 .... plenty of options
