One thing i would mention is that it would be a good idea to sit down and decide what type of park you want to be and what customers do you want to attract. You have childrens facilities, but from what has been said, you price list is turning off families. The very people you are looking to attract. Instead of trying to make it fair for everyone (which is impossible), make it good for the people you are aiming for.
That's very true. Sites which charge per pitch work out expensive for couples and singletons, sites which charge pp work out expnsive for families (although I think that's fair because families use more resources - but then I would, wouldn't I?)
Play areas etc are the same. They put off old farts like me who want peace and quiet, but are welcomed by families.
It must be really hard to try and work out which market will deliver the most business. I wonder if the local tourist board has any stats on which groups are most represented among local visitors, or which tend to stay longer?
