While people think that price per night without electric is acceptable, campsites will keep their prices artificially high as they have for the last year or so, they raised their prices to sometimes extortionate levels because of people not being able to travel abroad that easily and now they keep them at that level or even raise them, those of us who have been camping etc for many years are refusing to pay that price and when a lot of the newer campers decide it’s not for them, maybe the site owners, letting agents for cottages etc will realise they cannot get away with screwing the diehards although I have my doubts, from my own point of view I will take a serious look as to whether I will carry on caravaning as to my mind with the cost of fuel, campsites, food it will no longer be a cost effective way of holidaying, like everything in this country as soon as it becomes popular ie gardening and camping comes to mind we get ripped off,apologies for the rant
I couldn't agree more!! This country isn't often called rip-off Britain for nothing, in my opinion.

I think it was the comment "ONLY cost £37 a night" that prompted my reply, and I suspect many others. The implication being that £37 a night was in some way cheap, whereas I thought that it was horrendously expensive especially with no EHU.
What kind of site others prefer, and what they are prepared to pay is entirely up to them, each to their own, and the same goes for with or without EHU. When I first started camping, in a tent then later with a caravan, the vast majority of sites didn't have EHU and even those which did only had maybe 4 or 5 pitches out of 50 or more, and they were just for the "posh" caravans. Now we always go for EHU as without it we would have no fridge or hot water. Our 1970s caravans had neither anyway.
Things have changed an enormous amount since our early camping days in all respects. Back then I would never have dreamed that sites would charge per person. You always paid for a pitch, what you put on it and how many of you there were was up to you. The only stipulation was that you must not exceed the number of people the unit was designed for. So if you were one person in a tiny tent, and on the next pitch there were 6 people in a 6 berth caravan, if the pitches were the same size, both pitches cost the same price.
