just had a week at new England bay site not quite half full also one day went round to garliston a lot of empty pitches there as well the school hols have started over the border .also have looked at late availability for Cumbria north east and Yorkshire over the next month not many days are either low availability or booked up .looks like the bean counters are missing a point over their site fee structure .or do they want less tourers then they can put in their camping pods/lodges like there doing at park coppice

It’s simple, as other business in free open competitive markets operate, when customers go elsewhere one option is to drop prices or incentivise in other ways. So, those who are aggrieved by CAMC pricing go and vote with your wallet. I am not defending the club, simply pointing out the freedom we still have as customers. Last weekend we stayed at a club site booked at very short notice on a jumbo pitch at £50/night. All the private/commercial sites in that area seemed to be booked and given the preceding weeks personal news, I wanted to have an easy weekend. Next month we are hoping to have 3 weekend breaks, only one of which is on a club site, and yes it is the most expensive. However it is where we want to go and still a fraction the price of half decent hotel.

So why not post there unless you intend to deliberately take UK threads off topic?
What is the winking emoji meant to indicate?

Ah, I see. A brief mention of the topic of the thread - CAMC site fees - and then you feel it’s OK to recount your overseas holiday experience which bears no relevance to CAMC site fees.
OK, apart from that, why make a flippant comment in response to a serious point and put a winking emoji in it and then deny you were intending to take the thread off topic? It simply does not add up as the emoji suggests the contrary.

It's not about complaints at all, it's about a valid comparison and there is no point in comparing prices abroad in a UK, and even more specifically a totally club based thread, about club prices.
The OP was asking if for a family of five if they, club prices, are becoming unaffordable, I cannot see that saying prices outside of the UK are whatever answers that question in any meaningful way. The only valid comparison is with other UK based sites.

Going back to the OP, has anyone addressed the part about It's not like we are taking up anymore space or using more electricity?
I assume this is alluding to the cost of the three children?
Well in my view yes there is an extra energy cost, either in the on site facilities or in heating extra water inside the outfit. Not to mention extra any extras for children that might exist, like playgrounds, playrooms. Extra adult people incur a extra cost.

Rowena will be busy with the delete button tomorrow with lots of posts on here then. Same old. It's quite simple to have a debate/ discussion while keeping within the guidelines. If you can't then don't bother posting. Pretty shameful to be fair.

Indeed but what will he club look at more? Actual site occupancy, that is people actually paying the prices, or rather a relatively few posters from a very unrepresentative sample here. Unless you can prove otherwise that CT is somehow representative of people using club sites?
How many of these umpteenth threads can you remember? Ten? Twenty?
I wonder what tiny percentage that is compared to actual people paying to use club sites?
Posts on here really literally count for nothing, people post prices are 'too high' and so what? Posting on here costs nothing but people actually stopping on club sites beings in the income.
Membership and rejoining are at all time high, what was it 385,000 households? They can't all be members for just CLs/other products.
It would be highly dangerous if the club paid any attention to what is posted here rather than look at occupancy.

It's a shame as we liked Tewkesbury but £40 per night when it's not school hols is a tad expensive in our opinion.
Not actually in Tewkesbury, but the C&CC Winchcombe site is not far away and is a lovely site. If you qualify for age related discount, in September it works out at £30.68 a night. However, for those who don’t, the savings aren’t as great as the cost is £38.40.0 -
An interesting comparison. The site at Winchcombe was the very first C&CC site we used, many years ago now. And it is a very nice site. But ... you have to drive (and then pay to park) to get pretty much anywhere, particularly Tewkesbury. From the CAMC site you can walk into the town itself, or take any number of walks along the river without moving your vehicle off site. So in that case the tenner or so difference in price surely makes the Tewkesbury site itself preferable (notwithstanding the price itself!)

I would agree M, particularly if you want to visit Tewkesbury and are in a MH. The site is in a great location. However, if you just want a few nights to do a bit of walking or have a car and want to visit places locally, other than Tewkesbury, I would go for Winchcombe even if we weren’t getting oldies rates.

Definitely has EHU. We used the site a couple or so years ago and walked into Tewkesbury from it.
