Why do we have to cancel and rebook to get the lower price?
If I cancel, then what guarantee is there that the place wont be taken by somebody else, too risky on busy sites!!!
Why cant the lower price just be applied automatically or the booking simply refreshed at the lower price.
I'm sure if there were any increases these would be automatically applied!!

Might be a good idea to acquaint whoever formulated the geographical list that:
Buxton, Poolsbrook and Carsington are in Derbyshire, Blackshaw in Staffordshire, Sutton-on-Sea in Lincolnshire and Clumber in Nottinghamshire. None of them can be found in East Anglia.
Similarly Southport is neither in Wales or the Midlands. Try the North West!
May not seem important but I'm sure the odd person will just check under their regional catch all area description.
Not exactly the first time in the CAMC staff that an understanding of where places in the UK can be found has been found wanting. A bit lazy as all of the answers easily found at your fingertips.

If I cancel do I have to claim my deposit back and then start all over again with another deposit, why not just ammend the bookings that have been already made. Also if I cancel there's the possibility of loosing the booking altogether.
Why do the club make such hard work of everything they do, the sooner a change of management is made the better for all concerned because the current management are destroying what was once a very well run members club

Plus all that cancelling and rebooking also puts a strain on the system? I can only imagine that there is no option within the system to make such changes as logical as it would seem.

Rather than the stated reason that it is to help us all with the rising cost of living; am I the only one who has a sneaking suspicion that the price reductions are a recognition by the club that their pitch prices are currently too high compared to the competition!

I find it bizarre they haven't applied a flat rate across all the sites. It remains to be seen whether the reductions will be enough to attract members back. Judging what I am currently paying on a commercial site against the price of a Club site just a few miles away, the reductions, what ever they are applied against, won't be enough.

Clearly not as they’ve spelled Carnon Downs incorrectly as well as the other errors.

Hi Martyn,
If you have already made a booking for 2024 from 1 January 2024 onwards you can take advantage of the new lower prices. All you have to do is view the new lower prices online, review your booking, and if you wish, simply cancel your existing booking(s) free of charge and rebook at the new lower price (please remember to cancel and rebook a minimum of 21 full days prior arrival).
Our team can help you amend your booking if you want to give them a call on 01342 327490.

Thanks for highlighting this, we tried to group campsites to show 6 regions maximum. Our team have updated the region headings and moved a few campsites around now. Please let us know if you spot anything else.

This does tie in with the statement in the AGM review about helping members out so could be that and then again not.
I think the different reductions are made based on how well one particular site is doing, I think it's fairly obvious, at least to me, that there no point in giving bigger discounts on sites that are doing fairly well and no pint is giving any for some sites. Chatsworth isn't on the list (reviewed as overcrowded today), York RP and neither is Melrose which is always full or very full when I've been no matter no what the season, and neither is River Bremish which are two sites coming up for me so no savings there and a few others.
So in essence it's a form of dynamic pricing but whatever the reason it's a win if you want to go to one of those sites or have already booked.

Some organisations are making their discounts very easy to get...
the well own Morris Leisure commercial group, which we will be using in a few days time, has just a simple 3 for 2 offer which runs from October to end of March.
There's even another chunk off for being a CAMC/C&CC member...
The basic pitch price is £39.40, the CAMC site we are on (courtesy of a voucher👍) is £46.10...that on its own is a real difference as the commercial also has wifi included. There is no viable wifi here....(yes I know you have to pay for a dog or an awning....we have neither, so not relevant ...)
throw in the discounts as in the copied text below and the total for three nights is just £70....£23.33 a night...almost exactly half the current site price.
now that's a pretty hefty discount and so easy to get.

Bit perplexed by your reply but thanks for it.
The 6 regions mentioned were sufficient to have those sites that were wrongly placed put into their correct region. You have a heading for Wales and the Midlands. At least 5 of those sites that I mentioned can be found in the Midlands and Southport could easily have been placed in the Northern one. The errors were not made due to trying to shoehorn sites into a region that may be not have been categorised, merely someone being incompetent. If they didn't have any oversight then they could quite easily have consulted a Site Directory. However there does seem to be a team so probably not a lone person. Does anyone proof read these things?
BTW - As I write the "team" do not seem to have updated anything.

I’m puzzled by there being the Midlands and Central England. Is there a difference?

🤣 Most organisations use West Mids, East Mids. If you draw a line from Welsh Coast to East Coast, you usually get (W to E) Wales, West Mids, E Mids, East Anglia. For information of Club HQ, there’s even a very big airport called “East Midlands”. It’s not in East Anglia though👍

Can’t say I’m surprised. Whilst we have been to the New Forest site with a caravan, it’s not very appealing to those with a MH. Very little to do without leaving the site in a vehicle. Black Knowl on the other hand is great. We have visited with both a caravan and a MH and there are so many options directly from the site that the vehicle can stay put.

We have only stayed at the Centenary Site once, en route to the IOW. If we hadn't been picked up and taken out for lunch I suspect we wouldn't have bothered. Can see the attraction for caravanners who want to set up for a while but unless you are into cycling or serious walking you really do need a car. I suspect its one of those sites which is popular in the school holidays and maybe weekends but can see that discounts might be needed at other times?

Whilst we have in the past used club sites a lot we don’t now so it’s rare that we look at threads regarding this-so it was quite a shock to see this sort of price.
Our last non club rally stay was 4 nights at South Lytchet in August and, as the trip was a necessity, we paid the £176 fee-but really can’t believe a club site in June is more.

Oscarmax' figures show about £45 a night for BK...a serviced pitch there on New Years Eve there is almost £60...
we've toured various parts of the uk over the past three weeks and, as we had a voucher, did use a couple of club sites. Checking the prices for very late Sept to mid October, I've come to the conclusion there is no 'off season' with regard to club prices.
there will always be a weekend, a school holiday, a 'premium month', a Bank Holiday or something else to punctuate the diary with 'spikes'...so much so that (these days) it's harder to find a trough than a peak🤷🏻♂️
we wanted to call in at Broadway on our way home and the Club site is close to £45 a night (£44.20 this Wednesday)...the small commercial (equidistant from the town) is £30. For an overnighter that's a big difference.

I really don't know where you've been looking BB. There's a peak now due to Scottish and English school holidays but there's been a trough since early September withe same prices and prices go down again to the same prices from November till the Christmas holidays.
I've rarely known a Saturday to be different from a Friday? Apart from when a peak seasons starts?

This might be a silly thought but doesn't dynamic pricing work both ways? It seems that it certainly increases prices as demand grows but if the Club is having to make all these offers it doesn't seem to be working in the other direction? I can perfectly see that this big Club "Promotion" is to grab the attention but would there be a need if dynamic pricing was working? Perhaps the offers are larger than the variation in the dynamic pricing movement?
