CL Price Rises

I have just read a report on FB about a cl owner apologising for putting up her prices.

I thought it a very refreshing reply to some of the large price increases I've seen lately. What cl's owners have to remember is that they are not the only ones suffering from the present climate, so are the members.

I have pasted the article below with some minor changes for identity reasons.

"Just returned from this little gem CL. It’s *************** at ************, There are EHUs around the edge of the field and a toilet and shower. The owner is extremely friendly and checked with us most days that everything was ok. She said she had to increase the pitch price this year to £15pn, which I said was understandable and still a very good price. Her response was that she didn’t want to increase it too much as WE had to pay so much more for fuel than last year and if she charged too much people wouldn’t be able to afford to use their caravans and motor homes. I thought that it’s a great shame more site owners don’t have the same outlook.".

What reviews JV?, I don’t understand🤔. I was pointing out its not just newcomers but many established users in fact more so who seek bells & whistles-choice see. Btw, I use all offerings from everywhere in the UK. I never pin myself down to just one thing as that gets stale for me. ‘Try everything at least once’👍🏻

I know that, I've been here since mid April. Soon be off though😁

we don't tour the UK for long enough to be doing washing, usually about 2 weeks max. Several trips a year but shorter ones.

I hope there are still areas to visit. Some of the most beautiful forests have been hit by really bad fires. I was watching a report this afternoon. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Newer CLs seems be priced in the £14-£25 range depending on facilities. Most of the CLs I've been on over the last couple of years occupancy wise are stuffed, I won't say overstuffed as that would be controversial. I conclude that in addition to the rising costs of running a CL that supply and demand are now also increasing cost.

With the large amount of reviews of Cls that appear on CT above the few who it seems are mostly motor caravan users

Very surprised that some of the posters who have to posted with the usual expected type of reply

Do not seem to give reviews or not use them

Now that is very strange thing to say JVB as you jolly well know I and others are regular contributors to CT and also write site review. As a matter of fact I wrote my 164th review yesterday and have a few more to do in the not too distant future. So you are wrong again, I'm sorry to say.
