Its the difference between electric hook up and non electric that seems absurd - £32 non electric and £60 electric!?! 

Am I missing something?

Perhaps they're trying to discourage people who want to bring their telly on holiday!

£50.00 a night. I'd want my own personal toilet for that. Would be cheaper to stay in a hotel.

I'd want my own personal toilet AND someone to wipe my you-know-what for that!

I know pubs that do en-suite B&B for not much more than £50 a night.

I have found that my usual Whitsun site (St. Ives bay) is going to cost me significantly more than usual this year and from now on!

Last year we paid £13, including a second car, but that is for the pitch including up to 4 people, and extras under the age of 10 you dont have to pay for. But this year, because my youngest daughter will be 10 and because of the price increase it will be £25 per night (no electric)!!!

We are looking for a new Whitsun site for this year!

We have some brouchers and they are wanting £5.00 extra for the dog!!!

Don't think so ..As much as we love her...

Our kennels only charges £8 per dog to board ours. If we booked for a fortnight and they shared a kennel, I think it'd only be £12 per night for the pair. It comes to something when it's almost as cheap to kennel the dogs as it is to take them camping!

I never would, of course, I'd miss them too much.

That's pretty good, we pay £16 a night ...  it is a very good place though, in the middle of nowhere, he gets a 2 hr walk each day and the couple that run it know each regular dog personally.  Even so, he doesn't stay for longer than a couple of nights!

I havent read the whole thread i'm afraid but i know the brochure you're on about it popped through our door about a fortnight ago, i looked with interest till i saw the prices! The resort style sites suit us with a 4 year old, especially if the weather isnt too great. Anyway, deciding against this company i started to look at other sites in Cornwall and pitches inc EHU were generally in the region of £35-40 at the end of August...so i decided to look at France and to cut a long story short we have booked 9 nights in France using Camping Cheques (approx £15 per night inc admin fee, daughter free on our chosen site) plus the ferry for considerably less than the 7 nights in Cornwall would have cost. Ok there will be a difference in the cost of fuel but this will be minimal as we are a good 6 hours drive from Cornwall and our total driving time to Normandy should be no more than 9 hours + the ferry time. I figure the difference in the per night cost will cover the extra fuel, and added to that even if the £/Euro stays low we are only likely to eat and drink at the same sort of amounts (possibly even less) than we would in Cornwall....

Happy Camping whatever you decide this year xxx

I have just booked a pitch from 11th June. Looks great. Many thanks for that one.

If you are booking, they currently have a problem so you would be better off phoning as the credit card system is interupted. If you book on line the booking goes through but the card gets stuck.

Quote: Originally posted by Angela77 on 07/1/2009I got that brochure today as well Debbie. It is a ridiculous amount of money to stay at some of the most stressful campsites I've ever been to. I will only go in school term-time when the prices are more reasonable and the sites are less crowded. However I've just done a quick check and even their discounted prices are up about 20% on last year.

I got the brochure too and it went straight into the recycling box

Site we are off to in Wales is £5 pppn over 16 and 5-16yrs £4pppn so 7 nights would be £126 and views of Snowdon to boot!
