On a recent visit to Cornwall we noticed the high increase this year compared to last year , with Higher Penderleath nr Stives charging us £34.50 a night ( no power hookup), alot to pay even if we did get a cheese eating furry friend visit us in the night.

Is it just me or has the price of a 8x8  grassed area in a field for night shot up in Cornwall.

Yes, I do appreciate that site owners have had a huge hike in price of things like gas and electicity, along with other things, but I do get the feeling that some of them are simply using this as an excuse to grealtly hike their own prices up.

Stayed at one site in May - £21 per night for a folding camper/awning/electic/dog/2 adults/2 children.
Stayed at another site a few miles away the other week - £18 per night for the folding camper & 2 adults, then came the extras; 2 kids; dog;awning;electric;extra car;   Worked out at £27.50 per night.
Yes it was a very nice site - but had less on it than the cheaper site.    

Pitch pricing is a minefield of plusses and minuses, i suppose it's a case of what facilities you need and location

We have just had a week at a great little site in the Goyt Valley in the Peak District, They have a small well drained field, toilets, showers, pot washing sinks, and a waste disposal point, chickens roam free around the site and eggs are £1-80/Doz

For a pitch, one tent, two people and a car, £8-00 per night, now five nights camp for £40 is, to me, a great price but our needs are few

We've just been to Bude and paid £30pn for 2 adults, child and ehu. 

I don't mean to be unkind, but as has already been said, lets hope the lovely (!) weather we've had this summer will put some of the newbies off and make it more affordable for next year.
