Easter rip off
Was thinking of staying at Godrevy Park Cornwall during the Easter holidays but the club are charging top whack for the full two weeks, 29.00 for a grass pitch, I can stay at Gwithian farm on a hard standing for 21.00, site is just up the road and a little closer to the beach.
Another couple of hundred quid the club can afford to chuck, take it or leave it

On the other hand, we've just booked 5 nights at Exebridge Lakeside for a touch under £120.
In the same area we could have gone to Waterrow (£164) or Exe Valley (£133) - both very good sites which we've used in the past, but more expensive for us than the club site.
Always pays to shop around - you pays your money and you makes your choice!

Only if your 14 days start on the day before Good Friday. I assumed your two weeks meant the week before and after Easter weekend, school holidays around here.
Our 5 nights - Tuesday to Sunday work out at £118.70 compared to the other sites I quoted.

Godrevy has always been a pricey site but very popular nevertheless. The grass pitches are, of course, on fast draining sandy soil.
Perhaps JK can give us an insight as to whether running costs are high or if the club simply charges that much because it can.

Which is why I’m wondering if JK can throw any light on the situation.

Avoid the low ground, simples!

You do realise you don't have to go I assume
If it's too expensive or rather not giving you what you want for what you're prepared to pay then don't - simples

but actually the same principle applies, if you think Easter eggs are a rip off then don't but any and buy a 'normal' choccie bar instead.
But of course don't forget to go onto the Cadbury's (or whoever) website and tell them

This Easter we are staying reasonably close to home and visiting some areas we have not spent much time in before.
Easter is not a peak period in Scotland with the other club, so lower prices and age discount available. Good saving for us compared to CAMC sites.
We were pleasantly surprised.

yes wouldn't use a site where I would have to use grass, that's just me of course. Too much like camping

Some reason that grass should be cheaper than hard standing, and indeed it is with C&CC) but I always thing that grass awning pitches take more in maintenance and each year I see numerous ones with dead grass, ruts, mud and pitches that I would never want in that state.

It slopes uphill from the road with the facility block in the middle and the higher ground beyond. The low bit along the hedge next to the road obviously gets soggier than the higher ground.

If you mean Dunnet Bay then you’ll find Godrevy very similar, Easy.
We use Godrevy almost every year without problems.

Gentle in parts, steep in others.
As it was nearly three years ago, you may not fully remember, KJ.

This is pointless so I’ll let you have the last word. It’s obviously not the same site I’ve been going to for years and had a part seasonal on at one time.
