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.

But for some people that have Caravan Club running through their veins £130 per night would be cheap ..... 😘

And £30+ a night is not cheap by a by stretch of the imagination ....

No not cheap but you did choose to use it. I go off tomorrow and will visit 6 sites; three are CC sites at £28.60, £24 and £25.9

Only a tad but remarkedly restrained ..... 🙄

Yes .... I did chose it but only out of convenience for an over night stop and in the grand scheme of the week away it was a small part of the over all cost. But I still consider it expensive vs the £14 per night I'm now paying .

PS .... Shouldn't you be in bed considering you'll be up at O'crack Sparrow fart? 😉

I don't spend more than 6 or 7 hours in bed but it usually takes just a few mins to go to sleep.

Well a family of five at Bridlington will certainly pay less than at Seacroft yet the site was full of such families for the time I was there.

Also you maybe forgetting that such a family will have purchased a five birth outfit costing possibly many tens of thousands before even getting to Bridlington.

Even taking the initial outlay into account we found caravaning far better value than package holidays.

The difference between the younger generation and us wrinklies is that, generally speaking, we might be asset rich but are income poor. It is income that we need to pay site fees and therefore many club sites seem prohibitively expensive.

It seems to be for the majority of families who we have noticed filing the "popular expensive?"site during our stays during this summer

Surely it is a question of value for money rather than cheapness. I agree with MM compared to many CLs at £14p.n. A Club site which offers just a facility block more than a good CL for £30p.n. is not value for money. Whether you're a wrinkly or someone with a family I think it all boils down to value and what you want for your annual holiday. For many working couples with children, its a lot more than a hard standing and a facilities block..

But the major clubs(both) are aiming for families who it seems are quite capable of paying the fees that have been set,at peak periods which are reduced off peak as happens across the whole of the leisure industry
