Posted on 19/06/2019 09:04 by£18 is about the upper end of what we pay through our off season trips i.e outside July and August and apart from a CL we use once a year (£16) we never stay anywhere without facilities. Paying less than that at the moment in that "cheap" country where staff work for peanuts
You are fond of quoting "the real world" well this this is real and the usual sort of rate to be found throughout Europe. The "unreal"world is paying club rates for what is provided and thinking it's a bargain.

Posted on 19/06/2019 10:04 by TinwheelerThat’s the crux of it and unless we know which sites are cited, it’s impossible to guess at the reasons for pricing.
I’m paying £18 at the moment but it’s no more relevant that David’s example so I won’t bore you with details.

The question asked by the OP had little to do with the actual price of sites, more about why two sites close to each other had such different prices. But we still don't know which the two sites are so, sorry Chrissie, it's difficult to answer your question.
I have to smile, though, when threads like this are diverted into how, supposedly, club sites are way more expensive than others in the UK and certainly outrageously expensive compared to European sites. We don't tour Europe (in the van) but over here we pay the going rate for sites where we want to be. By mixing club sites with C&CC sites, CLs and, occasionally, small commercial sites, we keep our average cost down to around £20 a night. So we can "afford" to use "expensive" club sites like Bridlington and Putts Corner without coming close to breaking the bank!

On large sites on the cc network in the UK the senior warden couples are on about £40,000 a year pro rata between them,then there could be another three couples needed to cover the hours needed under the WTD
Rates as relayed to me via retired staff who are still in the loop and "on call"to cover shortages
