Have CAMC over priced some sites

We always use site showers and dish washing and cook our food using electricity (rarely eat out) . For us club sites are not "full fat" but the basic minimum that could qualify as a campsite but not priced accordingly.
At least the water in the dish sinks is usually adequately hot, if not scalding. More than is usually the case when we visit France. It costs a fortune in fairy washing the BBQ, over there.😂 Most other things we do in the van.

but wouldn't that put off certain people and lead to loss of income? You lose £25+ per pitch for what? £1 per dog?
How about £1 per pitch and £25 per dog. That should secure CAMC's income stream

I am afraid in the real world of the UK at peak times, and off peak, the leisure industry with very few loss leader exceptions, prices are what the ever expanding market will stand,and with the ever increasing prices for the upkeep of anything, then things will not get "cheaper" u
Even on a CL with cesspits it can cost over £200 to get it emptied, which on club sites not connected to mains drainage, it normally means a weekly visit by the "honey wagon"

Twice weekly on our site at present, and £240 a time!! That's without the thrice times a season emptying of the treatment plant. Gone up 15% this year

I think people have asked you (but I can't recall an answer) what you think needs to be added to a club site to make it 'full fat'?

Perhaps David means he want prices similar to over there? Which again is a spurious argument?

Can't see that anywhere in M's post at all David
Using sites on a regular basis and being a member are different things?

indeed, but as you inferred does that mean I cannot have an opinion myself and respond myself?
btw, what needs to be added to a club site...

I wonder how many people choose a site principally based upon price?
I am guessing in the real world not many, because there are so many variables to be taken into consideration. It could be a Site with all sorts of extras, but if the location and surrounding area aren’t particularly interesting, then it just becomes a glorified Butlins or all in Resort. (I don’t use these examples as less worthy, more about visitors being less inclined to venture offsite) This might attract some, but I tend to think that a lot of members like to get off site and “do” things rather than merely stay on site.
Site choice is always about location first for us. What is there to see and do in the area of interest to us. Then we consider if our choice will suit the basic needs we like eg, space, privacy, quiet. Price is possibly third component, although we do have to compromise sometimes. We set ourselves a nightly average and hope to maintain this over a two, three, four week holiday. Gives us scope for some very cheap nights, then somewhere a bit more pricey if we move on.
