Ukcampsite already does this - if you look at the rallies section you will see dozens of rallies across the country all at discounted rates. To benefit just join in!

The two main clubs also do this - CS's & CL's - although their own club sites are becoming expensive!

We are going away over August B.H. to Skegness 4 miles and we are paying £11 a night inc E.H.U. £1extra for awning.

It's costing us £9 a night for the kennels for our dog (jack russel).

So have we got a bargain or are the kennels ripping us off?

No, the kennels we have to use at times charge £15 a night ... we do usually take our dog but use them on occasions when we are out for a long day (wedding etc), but we really like them as they are in the middle of nowhere and take all the dogs off for a long 2-hr walk and run about and they also don't charge us for each full day AND open on Sundays (what a rip off that other kennels refuse to!) - we can drop him at breakfast on Sat morning, collect him at tea-time Sunday and only be charged one day. 

Pete & Sarah - have you found you've missed running a site then? I can understand your reluctance with all the new costs & regs for not wanting to run another campsite, and statics do still have their place (small sites that is for us!!!!). Where we live (south Cotswolds) an acre would be a lot more than £10k sadly but like the long-term plan, we'll remember that one!

Most site owners charge a fair price, but as with everything else there are those that do overcharge.      And, as with everyone else, site owners have had to meet rising running cost - which is reflected in the rise in site fees, fair enough.

What I do object to is the rip off merchants.   Things like £15 per pitch, that was just for the camper, then adults were so much per night, childen so much each per night, awning so much, EHU so much,  and then the stinger was about £7 per night for the extra car.  (At the moment, we need the extra car, due to ill health in the family - both side.  Means that one of us could get home in a hurry if need be, while the other stayed with the kids.)   There wasn't anything on site that you could say well yes but you are paying for use of the gym/pool, top class chef cooking your breakfast for you.
