Shop around

But the cost of getting there negates any savings on site fees. Anyway I didn't realise that one can now pay site fees in this country in Euros!!😆

Thanks for that , YT, but I do not have a clue what your symbols mean. Perhaps it's just me being thick!

More than off set by site costs and facilities. I did say further afield NTH. There are also other advantages, better roads, lighter traffic and  better weather. I could go on.

€10.70 a night high season electric hookup, serviced pitch excellent facilities. Five minutes walk to village centre, boulangerie shops restaurant bars. Municipal pool nearby.Quiet.

Further afield as far as I am concerned is the far north of Scotland or the Kent coast, both about 300 mls from home!!😊 The OP was all about sites in this country so what has "over there" really got to do with it, I wonder?

Variety.

ha....obviously it's me whispering in your ear📣👂

Nellie, I think uk sites in the ACSI scheme are quoted in Euro👍

with a return ferry to Cherbourg at less than £300 it certainly makes getting to Brittany as easy and cheap as a hike to Scotland from here...and once you're there.....

I think what's being touted is that, these days, it really is as easy to include sites and caravan holidays in Europe as truely viable alternatives to UK rising prices.

yes, many folk have compared uk commercials and CL etc as alternatives to Club sites but there are also many, many sites of (more than) comparable standard (for much, much less) just a ferry or tunnel ride away.

we were going to 'do' Scotland in late Sept for a few weeks but Brittany is likely to get the vote...

Not just the ferry of course YT, the insurance was another £340 and of course it’s about 200 miles to the ports for us and even more for NH. True the sites are a lot cheaper, so far averaging £16 a night, compared to the £42.90 in the UK. This one even has a very nice pool at £17.75 a night. However, the cost of the sites has no bearing on why we come to France. We enjoy it here and would still visit even if they were more expensive. It’s a bonus nothing more and we still like touring in the UK, in particular the far north of Scotland.

We are in France at present.  Saved the ferry cost on less expensive site fees in the first 10 or so days.   Two down sides at present; diesel is slightly more expensive on average and the temperature is too high for my liking.  GPL (LPG) is readily available at about the same price as in the UK.  Grocery prices seem to be slightly higher than in the UK, but I think the quality and choice is better.  Eating out is less expensive. Due to the glut of wine the shop price has tumbled despite Macron throwing his toys out because of the drop in revenue.
