If i book for July 2023 next year and my total booking is £ 575.00 this means that my deposit will be £ 115.00. Then if i book another site a few weeks later for September 2023 My booking is £ 783.00. My deposit will be £156.60. Now i have paid out £271.00 as deposits. This is a lot of money to folk out for deposits. The CAMC is holding on to a lot of money for a year. Multiply this by several hundred wow what a load of money the CAMC have.

Quote: How much will a deposit be?
 

A deposit will be calculated for each individual campsite stay within a booking and will usually be 20% of the total value of each stay. If several different campsite stays are booked together within one booking, one payment will be taken at the time of booking to cover all the applicable deposits of all the stays combined. There is a minimum deposit value of £25 per stay. However, if the total price of the stay is less than £25, then the total price will be paid as the deposit.

I'm locking this thread to avoid duplicating the topic which, I think, is adequately covered in the "New booking system and deposits" thread.

    Very rarely book any site more than a few weeks, or even days ahead. So much can happen in the meantime.

    That said we tend to avoid club sites as to us there are no longer good value for  money.

    Surely it's all relative? You pay 20% up front, then you only need to find 80% of the fee on the day. 

    Same as the club will only get 80% of the fee on arrival day as opposed to 100% now.

     It if you make five bookings at the same time, isn't the deposit 20% of the total?....ie 100% of one booking?

    for multiple bookings (5) the customer is being asked to pay for the whole of one stay in advance, could be upto a year in advance...

    bank base rate is 1.75% and likely to rise further to help curb inflation. A good time to have plenty in the coffers.

    So will the deposit system stop the alleged block bookers?
