C&CC closing sites

I think what is interesting is that in 2019 (91 nights away) and 2020 (46 nights away) my average site night cost was between £17.50 and £18 this year, after 67 nights away it is close to £22 and that is with the VAT reductions If I added in Club membersip costs these costs would be even higher. In none of these years did I venture over there, niether did I use any vouchers but I did use a higher percentage of C&MC sites this year.
Now that is way off the OP's topic but hey ho so are many others.

If those of you who use club sites ,are going to also. be thinking using them next year ? A bit of advance warning , get them booked before the prices go up with the very steep rises in gas and electric prices that it seems are not as short lived as some think

For comparison our figures for 2019 was 236 nights @ £13:78 and for 2020 was 137 nights @ £14:17, so quite a relatively high increase this year.

Low number of nights away for us this year, only 60, cost £1309.23. So £21.82 per night.
We used several Club sites, and upgraded some to serviced pitches due to VAT reduction, but we used more CCC sites and CLs than Club sites. We also had DD join us for 4 nights, which accounts for about £28 of the total.

95 site nights for us, the majority CAMC but a fair few C&CC and one independent. No real idea of the cost, it’s not something I’ve ever done. If I had to guess, I would think something in the order of £25 / £28 pound a night, as there were a few service pitches. If it had been all CAMC I would have estimated more but the other clubs age related discount made them very reasonable indeed. For instance, our three nights at Malvern costing £25 less than if we had gone next door.

Only 67 nights for us so far, September was lost due to awful forecasts and awaiting hospital appointment. October has been lost due to self isolation before todays cataract operation and a few weeks recuperation still to come. Let's hope that we can get away in the caravan next month.
£1137 spent on site fees at an average cost of £17, mainly inflated by expensive CS's in the Forest of Dean area.

How does the Malvern CCC site compare with the CAMC one Steve? We have used the CAMC one several times, but now we are also in the CCC we intend to use theirs next time.
The age related discount certainly makes a big difference for us, as does avoiding peak periods such as school holidays. With CCC we can more easily plan our trips to avoid the peak periods as these are different in England and Scotland, and up here Easter is not peak at all with CCC.....not at the moment at least!

We actually preferred it, and because it was the middle of September and not peak tent camping season it seemed very roomy. Even on the weekend, when it filled up a bit, it was less busy than when we have used the other site. Although we mainly used our own, the facilities block was of a good standard. A big plus for us, given how much grass there is at the CAMC site, is that you can book a HS. It meant we could take our time getting there secure in the knowledge we wouldn’t end up on grass destroyed by awnings.

We've stayed at the C&CC's site there, and although it was on "hardstanding" it was that horrible plastic mesh, through which the grass grows and can be very slippery when wet. Is it still like that, Steve?

Thanks, Steve. It was a good few years ago, so perhaps they have replaced the plastic with gravel after complaints of the other.
