Each to their own choice certainly not mine

In which case you're quids in, but sites like the one you mention are modelled on the assumption that a significant number of people will go to the bars and restaurants.
Its unfair to compare them with sites that obtain their income from pitch fees alone

No? That’s a shame as others might wish to do the same. 🤷🏻♂️

We have used a Haven site a couple of times, for the free to use pool and other facilities for our grandchildren. There was also entertainment and food outlets but we did not use them. The noisy areas were well away from the touring area so there was no noise that we could hear.
It seems that on these types of sites, we have also used a few run by other providers, the facilities are mainly situated for the convenience of the static vans. A look at the site plan will show whether to expect noise, or not.

That might be fine if you use the site like an aire but most people will select a site that provides them with convenience as well as a pleasant environment on site. As you don't name the site none of us can objectively work out whether it good value or not. Obviously it suites your needs but it seems that the majority of Club members like the quality and environment that Club sites provide and many seem reluctant to go elsewhere?

I assume this site is in the UK? Why not share the name, after all if others are finding club sites too expensive it will help others out.
Not for me either.

I need to be in the area so do I pay a minimum of £27.50p.n. for an economy pitch at Malvern Hills C&MC site or join in with thousands of others for £20.50p.n. at the Warners Malvern show just a couple of miles away. As far as I am concerned it was a no brainer.

Yep, I might have guessed it wasn’t a site as such🙄

So it's slightly different to the way you gave it. It's not a site but a show provided by a dealer designed, and therefore subsided, to get people to buy their wares? Hardly the same thing as a club site? Also with EHU it £35 per night.
Thousands of others? You make that sound like a plus point, I thought you liked quiet sites like the ones we're discussing on this thread?
Anyway I'm sure it's good for you but it really does sound horrendous.

Of course it is a site, just like the pop up ones, the only difference is it is close to the action and as such very suitable for motorhome owners.
Horrendous! if you have never tried any of the shows (there are many others open to staying on site) you will never know. Variety is the spice of life.

Come off it, PD. This isn’t the first time you’ve been a little duplicitous in dragging into a thread an example that in no way compares with the CAMC sites under discussion. I’m being kind to you here with the words I have chosen but why mislead and deviate from the topic in such an extreme way?

At least thanks for pointing out where you are. You mentioned "no brainer" but for me and I guess quite a few other Club members it would have been the other way round. I appreciate that Warner Shows are big business and have quite a following but a bit chalk and cheese when it comes to comparing with proper campsites. I am not sure this discussion is about cheapness but more about value and quite where the Club prices sit on that scale. I think someone mentioned here or another thread about £80 a night in peak season for a family, that works out at £1120 for a fortnight's holiday for a family. Putting aside the cost of the unit which could be anywhere between £5000 and £25000 you would be hard pressed to find an alternative holiday anywhere for a family at that price for two weeks.

Why not GG? There is water and waste disposal, facility blocks too if you want to use them. The only difference is you are near to an attraction for which the pitch fee includes entry if you wish to attend. By the way was the Norfolk show horrendous?

True, but as a site the facilities are no different to other sites, in fact they are better than many other pop up sites. The Malvern Show just happens to be there at a time we want to be in the area so I am going to use it rather than the Club site.

And so you should. But as people have posted you perhaps shouldn't pass it off as a normal, traditional site and use it to compare it to club site for prices and extras. It's a show site and therefore subsidised and only happens at certain times, unlike most other club and non club sites.
As for me trying such sites l'll gladly pass, by now I know exactly what I like and mixing with thousands as you put it isn’t on my list.

Horses for courses. We have been to Warner shows, but as day visitors. If we wanted to visit for more than one day, or visit a show that was some distance from home then we would certainly consider using the on site camp site.
We have also used Haven sites, in October, not half term, for a few nights away with a swimming pool on site. We don’t use any of the other facilities. At £10 a night for hardstanding serviced pitch it was a reasonable break.0
