Hi everyone, I'm confused and I'm hoping for clarification. We've recently rejoined the club so I aren't up to date with pricing. I'm trying to book a pitch for late 2021 and there seems to be an added cost for my wife to stay. I thought the pitch fee included caravan, one car, and two adults.
Do I have to pay extra for the second adult staying on the pitch?
Posted on 01/10/2021 13:37 by vbfgIt couldn't have been that recent as I joined the Club in 2013 and it was per pitch plus each adult, when I joined, which is why I prefer to stay on Club sites rather than CL sites or commercial sites. I think that the CCC would be even cheaper at certain times as they give an age discount for over 60s (or is it 65).
Posted on 28/12/2020 21:00 by EmilysDadthe price to stay on a club is price per pitch & price per adult & child, but it's obvious that the OP is looking at the headline price shown on the website and assuming it includes what it used to include ie 2 adults.

Talking about two separate things here. One is an attempt at Marketing, ie Club putting up the cheapest possible “from” price it can for each Club Site. This used to be based on a pitch fee, and two persons staying. As prices have gone up, that tempting offer dwindled in eye catching opportunity, so the Club opted to show the “from” price as pitch fee plus one person staying. That price might only be available for a couple of days in the depths of Winter, but hey, that’s how Marketing works😉
The reality is you will always pay a pitch fee (which may change based on time of year, or any MWD offer) and then anything else will be based on number of persons staying, any other choices such as SP.
There are a few budget Sites, for example Nunnykirk, where it’s a fixed price all season for pitch and at least two occupants (could be more, I haven’t checked)
The Club’s pricing policy is somewhat complicated in terms of end user satisfaction, and appears to be trying to extract as much income as possible at times. Every couple of days might change at some Sites.🤷♀️ It’s so complicated, the handbook doesn’t include prices nowadays, it would be double thickness. All online, and even then the Club can and will, as it has done this last month, change the advertised prices.

Which bit is a rip off?

Hi JK
I concur with your comment. As a single tourer I find the site fees are quite reasonable on many CMHC sites and due to brexit, Covid and now Putin's truly dreadful war against Ukraine, site fees were always going to go up and I envisage that they are going to go up on most private sites and CLs as well.
If I consider that a site charges too much then I would simply go elsewhere. In my view, the "price from" guide on each page in the directory is simply an indication as to whether that site is cheaper or more expensive than other sites and I know that it is not until I go through the procedure to book online that the full price will be shown and I can then decide whether to go ahead or not.
