    I've never had that, if I want something then I'll pay the going rate, and certainly won't feel ripped off.

    Equally if I feel I'm being ripped off I do not pay.

    Well ok maybe if I was stuck for fuel or food I would but we're not talking about basic necessities, we are talking about a camping site.

     

    Are you saying the OP wants club sites that bad then?

    You could go a couple of miles along the coast and use Incleboro Fields which is about a fiver a night cheaper? Be interesting to know what non Club site you are comparing with. In a normal year I spend £1500 plus on site fees. This year I doubt I will pay much more than £200 such is the strangeness of the year!!! My experience on non Club sites is that they are usually a very similar price to Club sites, sometimes a bit more. The major downside is that I am often expected to pay in full up to six weeks before arrival!

    Booked just for location, would have booked 4 nights but cut it down to 2, the pub at Caister on sea is more welcoming 😜

    Nobody said they don’t pay for themselves but I get the point you're trying to make.

    The price will be above the norm for club sites because of the convenience of having the extra facilities on site.

    Even leaving aside the bar and restaurant, £20 for a pitch on a club site is dirt cheap in Sept.

    We have not used a C&MC site this year as the prices are more than we think they are worth.

    We have used CL's however and we are members of the C&CC who's sites we have used, as we get the age discount this usually brings the price within what we think is acceptable.

    There’s your answer then. Go to Caister and save your money. 👍🏻

    Have you posted before, Pink? You sound familiar. 🤔

    Yes but you claim the prices are too high, disgraceful even. Then you say unless people stop using or accepting club sites prices they will keep going up, people should question the prices...

    then go against your own advice and book a club site? Why? You say location but there are others nearby (club, non club, CLs) much cheaper. It does not make sense?

    No one is questioning your view of prices, just the fact that you are contradicting your own posts, and I for one cannot understand that.

    Ditto, the age concession rate is a great deal, but not applicable in high/peak or whatever it’s called season. I’m on Sennen C&C site this weekend £29.33 per night with hard standing & EHU. Sites and CS are generally very good standard (and a bit more relaxed) as well. 

    I haven’t used CMC sites (excluding CLs) this year for two reasons 1) price and 2) they’re all full!

    Whilst I will certainly take it, as it's offered, the age discount seems somewhat unfair on everyone else, if indeed it is a members club. Somewhere along the line someone has to pay for it.

    As it happens because of Covid we won't actually use any C&CC sites in our first year of membership. Only joined for fill in sites on our tour of Scotland. Much prefer the T&C's of the CAMC worth paying a bit more for.

    Thankfully the one thing members clubs don’t need to unduly concern themselves with is equality. Join it for what it is or don’t.

    Currently £39.40 before VAT adjustment. £43.30 for a service pitch.

    Very few free dates in August.

    Stayed there last August on a SP. Didn't personally make as much use of the bar and restaurant but other did. I did use the heated pool most days.

    I thought it was reasonable but everyone has to make up their own mind.

    Not quite sure what a 'dyed in the wool club member' is. Is it somebody like me for whom 50 % of their touring sites are CMC sites because those sites offer what they want? And if so is their anything wrong with that? 

    Or is it, in some way. meant as a criticism of those that choose to use club sites?

    a person for whom the club can do no wrong no matter what they do(or don't) ...... You can choose what ever kind of site you want, it's up to you, I care not.

    If the club it seems is what the thousands of members who use club sites each day are satisfied with .  as being cheaper than some as they are also more expensive than some private sites, i would think by the very positive reviews there are going to many more "dyed in the wool" members in the future to keep this and the ccc going for many years ahead  , despite as in any big organisations their "faults"
