I'm feeling a bit peeved! We belong to the Caravan Club and usually use a folding camper. We had booked a pitch at Brighton Caravan Club site for our Conway Countryman for 4 nights at £104.00. We had to change to a tent pitch as my husband had to have his appendix out and I can't manouver the camper on my own. The cost shot up to £144.00 as member discounts aren't applied to tent pitches! Needless to say I shall be writing to the Club to complain! Rant over!

so why didn't you ask for help to push the trailer then? surely a couple of bodies could have been found for less than 2 mins?

Surely they've got that wrong? as I understand it, your membership entitles you to a pitch discount at one of their sites.

I suspect you'll get the additional charge reimbursed.

Hope your hubby makes a quick recovery.

Result! The Caravan Club are going to refund the additional charge and are changing their policy on no discount for members who camp with a tent!

Their pricing regarding tents is crazy and most C.C. wardens agree.
Whilst staying in our caravan at one C.C. site for £21 per night for hardstanding pitch,hookup and awning, I enquired about cost for solo camper in two person backpacking tent without hookup.
I was staggered to be told it would be £23 per night and that wasn't a typo?

Glad you got refunded and be interesting to see price difference of my example after policy change!

After recently purchasing a tent and looking around for pitches, im pretty shocked at a lot of the prices.

Delighted to hear this! We joined the CC when we had a Conway Folding Camper many years ago and now use a caravan... and tents. Haven't had reason to investigate the cost of a tent pitch with the club since they became more open to to that type of camping but watched a few tents come and go when we were at Stonehaven last week. I too would have had plenty to say if I had discovered that my membership was not entitled to discount. Well done!
