Could it be that they did'nt charge enough last year and have had to readdress the pricing structure ??? Taking into account the massive rises in utility bills last year.

 I have just looked at the  Camping and caravanning site at Dunbar Lothians Scotland.  It was a new site last year but how can they justify an increase from 2008 at £18.10 to £24.35 in 2009  for a caravan and two adults.THE FACILITIES are still the same.

The comparison was taken from the your place in the country mags   2008 against 2009 and both high season.  the site as bessie500 said was new last year.

Life is but a prosaic manifestation of somnambulistic beurocracy !!!

Unfortunately because of the `credit crunch` pitch fees are likely to increase rather than decrease - simple supply and demand. If the expected increase in `holiday-at-home` punters match the predictions then the sites will be full at the higher charges.

I can see the sites adopting a `make hay while the sun shines` attitude, as if the `crunch` is cyclical (as they usually are) the new customers will be off abroad again as soon as things pick up.

Thats when you remember where you went on holiday in 2009 - and why.
