Hi

Is it just me or have the prices on all campsites gone up this year? Get the feeling that us hardcore campers are getting stiffed because of the credit crunch... zzzzzzzz many are choosing to camp rather than jet off. Love to get feedback on this to let the sites know we are onto this.There is only so much you can pay for a tent pitch in the middle of a field!!

The sites that charge ridiculous prices only stay in business if people are willing to pay.

Unfortunately it seems that people are willing to pay here

At Hemelvaart (a national holiday here ) we were quoted up to (if you are not sitting down them you should before you continue reading) €360 for 4 nights !!!!

No way will we ever pay that much and we found a nice site for the same period for €120

Our 2 Esvos cost less than €360 combined !

If only people would boycott sites like that ........

I too have noticed this week not only have some of the campsites on this site have gone up avarage per night £2-3 at least. But also they are charging for a pitch and then per adult,child,dog,etc rather than family tent (tent 2 adults and 2 children). One site i wanted to book was charging £6 extra per adult but £1.50 per extra child?. Also car parking charges at some of the main tourist sites have shot up. £6  this year £4 last year at one place, What has changed nothing?

You only have to look at this site to notice just how popular camping & caravaning has got. I was working nights a couple of weeks ago and one night there was approx 1650 people on at 4 in the morning!. So sites have the demand at the moment.

Well i feel like i have a bargain for the summer hols.

Midbrooks campsite in Steeple ashton, Trowbridge very close to Longleat (reason for the trip) is purely £9 for the tent pitch regardless of size then just £1 per person.

Fantastic reviews on here aswell
