A pleasant stay, BUT...........

My Wife and I have stayed at Cadeside many, many times and have always had a pleasant experience on site. We have just returned home from a 5 night stay and even though the weather was poor we enjoyed our stay. We would have stayed for 7 nights but a charge of £140 for 7 nights is out of order for a site with no toilet/shower/dishwashing or laundry facilities. The Caravan Club in their wisdom have decided to increase the nightly charge from £15 to £20 which equates to a 34% increase but have not made any improvements to the site. I have looked at prices of other Caravan and Motorhome Club sites which have basic facilities such as Cadeside and notice that there are at least 10 sites which the Club charges range from £16 to £18. For the 5 nights which we stayed at Cadeside I have found out it would have been cheaper for us to have stayed at Cheddar and several other Club Sites which have all facilities . It is with regret that we will be taking our custom elsewhere as we refuse to be robbed by a greedy Club. We will be making more use of our membership of 'the other club' which has a more sensible approach to their pricing especially o.a.p.'s such as ourselves.

I agree that £20 for a pitch on a non-fac site is steep but, to make your voice heard in the right quarters, PK3, you really need to complain directly to the club rather than talk about it in a site review.

The more people who contact the club expressing their dismay/disgust/shock, the greater the chance there’ll be a rethink but I’ll not be holding my breath.

I think that in relation to Cadeside it is a very special case. It is very popular and has limited pitches - 16.

I think that it is a price that many will pay.

I do agree this is rather pricey. Compared to other caravan club sites and independent sites the caravan club is starting to get rather expensive when you consider most of us are now pensioner's. We have ourselves started using different organizations and finding you can get some very good deals.

Very interesting remark about pricing.  I stayed at Cadeside only a few weeks ago and the couple on the pitch next to me commented about the charge for this site without facilities, plus added that "The other club" have a far better pricing structure for seniors, plus will not be renewing their membership.

By coincidence when I was at Exmoor House site only recently, without any prompting, two other members (Seniors) expressed concerns of increased prices for next year, that has encouraged then to book elsewhere for next year, even though they would have preferred to return to the same site that they normally visit for a long holiday each year Also considering not renewing their membership.
