Bit of a sweeping statement when you don't even know where it is and only a section of the site is shown. Actually I find the variation of outfits on a CCC site makes it far more interesting on a CCC site than on CMC sites.

Price may well influence choice but it shows many are not that bothered about using grass.

It would be "helpful" to understand where the site is and for what reason, (as you seem to know) rather than just post  pictures

Which site is that, PD? I must say I've been impressed by some of the C&CC sites we've used over the past couple of years  (Polstead, Devizes, Kingsbury, Wolverley particularly) but that particular one does have the "car park, rows of white boxes" look so derided by some on here - and where are all the trees? Hopefully, there are other, more pleasant areas on the site! undecided

It's Cambridge, which I prefer to Cherry Hinton.

If price is a factor in influencing pitch selection and the CMC wants to get serious about pitch type booking,  price differentiation will be the solution.

PD, what are those 'chalets' on the left?

Posted on 20/06/2018 10:30

They are the Glamping tents that are on numerous ccc sites which according to the staff at Sandringham ccc are one of the reasons they have five couples to run the site in high seasonsurprised

Hopefull the fees charged to the Glampers more than cover the extra costs.  I would hate to think that either Club was using income from caravan fees to subsidise their new idea in order to get it started. It is bad enough loosing so many pitches from touring, plus of course, the pitches lost to extra wardens staying on site.

yes good point. I assume these 'pods' or chalets need cleaning between lets and therefore have higher running costs?

we went to Cambridge a couple of years back and stayed there, bit it was  a bit out of season and the grass wasn't open....the HS pitches were all just replaced when we were there. it looked very smart.

we visited Cherry Hinton to see what it was like, possibly the worst site we've seen, certainly the worst CC site we've seen...

dark, dingy, damp and not a patch on the open sunmy aspect of the CCC site.....

IMHO, of coursewink
