and whats worse extra for dogs, whats all that about how does a dog cost extra???
We used to have a cat, who now sadly is no longer with us, but we took him with us in the van. He never went out, only if we sat outside, he sometimes sat on our laps, but he never went wandering about. We had a litter tray for him in the bathroom. Yet some sites even charge for cats, I've seen it on their price lists! How bizarre is that?
To an extent I can understand the charge for a dog, as there are inevitably owners who don't clean up after them, a case of the minority spoiling it for the majority, and sometimes sites have dog bins which need emptying etc, so I can see that there is some work involved.

hi all
I really don't understand the wide variances in pricing.........
ok, if the site has lots of facilities, then i expect to pay more, but there are some things which just don't make sense
why would i want to pay more for a site with a bar and clubhouse, i wouldnt even think about using it, so off the list they go
some sites charge more because they have more toilets and showers, ermmm dont think i will want to use them any more than normal, so there off the list too
i've even come across sites that charge you more because that have environmentally friendly facilities, like under ground source floor heating in the facility block, ....free heat, why i am i being asked to pay more! off the list too
in most cases, your'e dog shares your tent space, why charge for them, even providing a seperate dog walking area isnt exactly a big expense .....so if you're kids get nits and bring them are you going to pay more, lol, (hopefully not)
pitch and tent size , i do understand, you are using a little more grass!
but on some sites its per person, so can i bring my very very big tent and just put 2 of us in it for the same price? errr, no we expect two people to be in a two person tent!
and then there's the whole ehu issues, same cost per night no matter how much or how little you use, doh, i must be missing something here
surely, the answer is by basic size of pitch, and then by person and extras that take up lots of space (windbreaker acres and six pup tents in a row, lol)
our fave site charges per person, with no fixed pitch size, lots of room, no extra charges but its a working farm and has only got two toilets, but thats the type of camping we like
but i suppose having a variety of sites, facilities and charges is all there to attract the widest camping fraternity as possible...........including those who cant clean up after their dogs, (hopefully far and few between.)
so now i am on a mission to a few sites that are quiet, with few facilities and a fair charging policy.....

i will get the medication soon......
