While browsing for a site for our holidays i came across a site that charges £8 off peak, £10 peak and £12 bank holidays. Now that price is per night which you may think is pretty fair as it includes a 5 amp hook up and awning.

That price is per person per night aged over 2 years old.

I sent an email to check it was not a missprint and they confirmed the prices are correct. Needless to say they did not get my booking

Bill,

I just tryed to book Red Shoot in Hamshire for b/hol in August, the wanted £27 per night for m/home 2 adults and 2 kids with a minimum of 5 nights..........

That would cost us either £30 or £40 per night depending on whether Richard came or not.   Then no doubt there would be some added extras.

Some sites are really beginning to take the p*ss.
I don't mind paying a fair price, and for some extras, after all I appreciate that sites have huge overheads, but £40 per night is a little expensive for a tent pitch.

Bloody hell!!!!

why would anybody pay these obscene amounts to stay.

Thats what we were saying...........we won't........I dont mind paying a reasonable sum. But it just seems they (camp sites) are getting good at this minimum nights lark......

..................wild camping, it's the only way.

And my brother wonders why we go to France every year for our main Holiday, Just had three weeks there in June and we were on five different sites and the most we paid was £14 per night, that's two people having a three week holiday, everything paid for , ie, ferry, site fees, diesel, about £1000, and there sites are far better than our's, not to mention the cheap wine,

We stayed there and thought it was overpriced, overcrowded and shoddy,The owner was adding splitters to electrics and crowding small tents on in the space between pitches ( half on one families pitch and half on another) so close the flysheets were almost touching( god only knows how many would be harmed if there was a fire)

 The facilities are dreadful, staff we found to be rude and you could stay at several alternative campsites nearby for far less- several also have far superior facilities.
