    Can't help wondering who sets the prices for these CL's?

    Off-grid sites at £18 and £20!

    Time some people got real with their prices!

    Hi DaveCyn

    As CL sites are independent businesses they chose their own prices, we do advise them to look at the CAMC website to see what other CL's in their area are charging but the decision lies with the individual owner. 

    Thanks

    Thanks, Maddie. Not had time to do a full check but did notice that Fair Acre CARAVANS, Norwich state that they only take motorhomes yet their photos show the site with caravans on it!!  Could you please check if there is a mistake in their information?

    Maddie, did you manage to find out what the situation is with regards to my above question?

    Whilst I am a firm believer in the "labourer being worthy of his hire", I am surprised at the prices being quoted by some new CLs. I realise that overheads need to be covered but the gap between CLs and Club sites has narrowed substantially. I still have a mental target of £10-£15. Have I forgotten that penny buns no longer cost a penny?

    Totally with you on this Cy.

    Just been looking at our initial plans for the year and at the moment our most expensive site is £20 a night on a commercial with cafe, bar etc.

    The dearest CL we're booked on is £8.50 a night.

    Also read on another forum how some CL owners were being encouraged to raise their prices. No 1st hand experience so admittedly it's hearsay!

    Some do seem very expensive. I appreciate new sites have more initial overheads and construction cost to cover than established sites. I also know that many of the cheaper sites are probably not breaking even let alone making a profit. But I still won’t pay £30 for a CL

    CY, we rejoined C&CC last year, for CS sites. Because the sites allow tents, most provide loos, and many have full facility blocks. We found two crackers, £15 per night with clean, decent showers, pot washing, one with a laundry as well. If you wanted to, you wanted to, you could go without a hook up, which kept the price at £15. Excellent value, and no issues with excessive gas usage in Summer. CS’s do seem cheaper than many CLs.

    I think that is the case where one can choose whether or not to use EHU, but in many instances the "all in" price on CSs is greater than the equivalent CL, and it has been like that for a long time.

    Edit.

    Sorry Maddie that this discussion isn't purely as requested in your OP, but it is the way with forum and is relevant to the prices that new CLs are now charging.

    Nellie I think the answer is that those caravans that are shown in the photos are Hired out for holidays. I "googled" Fair Acre Caravans and they're described as Apartments.

    Which begs the question of what the heck are they doing being appointed as a CL? Do Motorhomers have to share the same space? Are these caravans on a different field, if so why are they shown?

    Maybe time to report this post to Maddie to see if she can finally give us an answer.

     Hi Nellie

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about this one, it took some time to get the new photographs updated. The site name has also changed to Fair Acre Motorhomes now. 


    Thanks

    Maddie

    Thanks, Maddie. I had a look last night at the an site entry and noticed the change of photos so presumed that the info supplied was correct, hence my deleted post above.

    nth.
