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.

TDDA, while in your home area the weather may have been wet (certwinly of late), this year in the south the weather has been terrifically hot and sunny....so I couldn't blame the weather for low volumes

we had lunch outside at a pub on Shoreham Beach yesterday...it should have been heaving...14:00 on an August Sunday....we could have had one of a dozen tables outside and only a few watching the footie inside.

it certainly isn't a weather issue, there's an underlying reason many folk aren't doing things....

We left 25c at home BB for between 16-21c in Devon, admittedly we were up on Moors, but it’s been hot and drier at home. Pot luck, we didn’t go to sunbathe, but it's noticeably less busy traffic wise in Devon at the moment, we didn’t experience any traffic at all on routes to and from coast. But I digress.....

The Club admits its site occupancy levels during peak season are not as good as outside off peak.. it appears to be worse this year than last. Given the Club's demographic, there may well be a case for leveling out prices throughout the year especially at sites under used during peak.

Interesting times ahead I suspect.

There may be but, personally, that would not tempt me out between 27th July and 27th August.

Where was that admission PD? And appears worse this year how? By the posts on CT or have you been on sites throughout the year?

And what is the club's demographic and again how do you know? Where has this been given?

When I stay midweek to midweek, there is a total change of 'demographic' from weekends days to weekend.
