is it just me or are the sites not as full this year were we are staying on a site were there is lots of pitches vacant I think people with children are now looking at haven and park holiday as there prices are more or less the same as club fees its a shame to see less and less children on site as we will need future generation to carry on

    Did you go back in to 'Discussion' listing of topic sections and then the sites section?

    There isn't  lot for kids on club sites, facilities are poor for so I could understand why they would go to more commercial sites.

    October half term 23-27th. Blackpool south site showing full, so we check out Southport CAMC site. Cost for 2 adults, 2 kids & 1 dog on serviced pitch £34.90 per night or £244.30 for 1 week.

    Decided to check Haven Marton Mere. Same time, same fully serviced pitch, cost £31.63 per night or £221.41 for 1 week. Cost includes, full use of swimming pool, free daytime & evening entertainment for the kids, onsite restaurant, bar & convenience store.

    And one of the reasons given for the recent rebrand of the Caravan Club was " to attract younger members "

    Someone at HQ needs to get a grip !

    Plenty of room at Lady Margaret last night. Too expensive? No more than half a dozen kids in total and some of those were with grand parents.. Don't think the tea drinkers have any idea about who is using the sites whether winter or mid summer.
