As our kids are growing up I'm starting to wonder if we can stay on Adult only CLs. (We only ever use CLs) the kids are 17 & 14 both quiet & responsible young people who've been brought up caravanning, taught how to behave etc. I've absolutely no worries that they'd be any trouble to anyone.

I understand the idea behind adult only sites is to spare people from kids making noise & generally a quieter holiday experience?

Is there a hard & fast rule on this or is it simply down to the CL owners discretion ?

Any thoughts would be most welcome!

Whilst recognising that penny buns are no longer 1p., I see that most new EHU CL's are £25 or higher. Even allowing for current inflation, that does seem to be a substantial jump from what was the previous "norm". Is it part of CAMC policy to drag CL prices up to follow the increases on Club sites?

I have said the same in the past, CY, but Ro denies that that is the case!!!!!! Make of that as you will, it does seem very strange that there is a huge jump in site fees especially on new CL compared to many of the of older ones where one can still get a pitch with EHU for £18 or in some cases a lot less.

Mind you, that could reflect the costs involved in setting up a new CL. It’s bound to a hefty sum to recoup compared with those who set their sites up years ago 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is likely the case in some instances, TW, but there are many well established CLs that have hiked their prices well above inflation, and taking into account the much higher power prices.

That's the summer price, rising to £45 in winter and £65 if you fancy staying at New Year. 😁

I would avoid Chichester if I was you.

I've heard from a couple of CL owners this year that when inspected, they had been 'strongly advised' to increase their prices.,
