Campsite costs

There is a new CL a few hundred yards from where we are. The new CL is large with elect, water and waste.  The cost is £22/night compared to the £18/night we are paying for full facility including WiFi.  Speaking to the owner of the CL we are currently on he told me the new CL spent £30k on setup charges including £10k on an electric gate.  Owner complains about the lack of visitors

I expect the advice is to look at others in the area etc but not actual charging advice which is individual to each offering. 

David, the club has always denied that they advise CL'S what to charge,  but having spoken to quite a few CL owners over the years it seems that is not always the case. One CL owner we spoke to said he'd been strongly advised to put his fees up as he wasn't charging enough! He did increase his fees, but only by a much smaller amount. As he said he was only offering a basic grass field with ehu, not the Ritz 😂

Maybe there's a difference between the club recommending a price a new CL should charge and the local volunteer inspector saying in the course of conversation "Oh, I'd think you could charge £× for this".  🤷‍♂️

Tbh, it must be true or CL owners will post to explain that C&MC dictate prices-they have not posted that🤷🏻‍♂️. I don’t have a set amount I’ll pay, I will decide by the area I want to be & facilities available. When away I live out of pubs & shops. I was paying £17/20 3yrs ago.

Better lobby your MP then, DD.

One could be forgiven for wondering at the point of posting such a statement in a thread in the CAMC CL section🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks like the electric gate’s working - keeping people out
