I am happy to accept that £5 per unit seems excessive to use the showers in addition to the normal fee. I suspect the CC don't know about this so perhaps it would be a good idea to leave some feedback on th CC webnsite in the form of a review where you could mention this.

If they were advertised as having toilets and showers at £15 per night, then report them to the CC. No point leaving negative reviews.

You are right to raise this. There is no way I would pay £15 a night and then pay additional £5 to use the shower & the loo! Did you pay it or leave?
Definitely report it - your expectations are not high, at all. I've just paid £15 a night on a commercial site in Cornwall for a fully serviced pitch, free hot showers & free dogs!

I have also commented on this before. I can't go away in low season but even in high season with the extra costs of ehu plus awning then paying to use a shower.you will find it is just as cheap to use the club sites. At least you can have toilets with heating at this time of year. Unless going to cl/cs,s with no facilities it is not much cheaper.
Also I have noticed that some of these are along very narrow roads or not very easy to access.
Don't miss understand me I like the idea of a peaceful setting and the small sites . i have only used or found two that were very good.but not many at reasonable prices.

The most common extra charge we have come accross is for an awning or a dog on a CL, the basic pitch charge is often for two adults, with any extras at around £2 each. The basic pitch fee with EHU is around £10 per night, so a family of 4 with a dog and awning can often be as much as £18per night, but this is still cheaper than most of the CC or commercial sites during high season. I agree that the CL guide should show as much clarity as possible, but often print space is restricted and some facilities may be added or removed during the lifetime of the guide.
The guide does however advise contacting the site for upto date information before you book, so maybe then is the time to ask about any hidden prices or availability of facilities?

The Caravan Club advertise wi fi at some sites but dont say it costs so they are not in the best position to complain. All charges should be made clear on all sites.
