Have CAMC over priced some sites

Just stayed mid August on the Chatsworth site costing over £35 per night for two people  on a standard pitch. During the week there were many unused pitches and even at weekends there were several not taken. Very few children and those there seemed to be with grandparents. August has to be the busiest month and previously you had to book Chatsworth well in advance to  have any hope of getting a pitch. A very nice site with superb wardens but it would seemed getting far too expensive. Surely better to charge less and fill a site to maintain profit margins than overprice and have reduced members attending.

We are going to Bridlington 15th to the 22cnd £204 we priced up Sandringham same dates £187 two very similar sites £17 difference, only reason l can think of is that Bridlington just had an upgrade. But besides the point quite happy with the price works out at 14 50 each per night. l have always said that peak times for families is a rip off, children should not have to pay, may start an argument now

Why children but not OAPs or ex-servicemen, for instance? I, too, would like to hear the reasoning, Heethers, and don’t forget there are already discounts for children.

Unfortunately all leisure companies put their prices every school holiday but for the club I think the average rise of 40% is just too much

My children never paid .... I did.

If parents don't want to pay for their offspring then there is always birth control or abstinence.

Not charging at all does seem a strange concept. The price for a child at peak is already discounted to 37% of the adult rate, which seems very fair to me. When we were holidaying with our children at peak, we just accepted that as we had made the decision to have them, we would have to pay for them. Not expect someone else to. Which is what would have to happen if there was no charge.

...or slightly less 'head on', try sites that do offer thiswink

(that's 'children go free' not 'birth control or abstinence')undecided

The increase is more like 25% as per most sites
