Hi

OH ahs just been given a revamped work rosta that gives him 3 nights off on 14th August.  We'd love to take the kids away for this as an extra treat but although have e-mailed 12 sites none have even bothered to reply to date.  Does anyone know anywhere worth trying?

Thanks

No problems Peachyclair, don't forget there are UKCS rallies on many sites who also give discounts and as we are listed in the caravan and camping club we also give a discount on production of the card.

we look forward to seeing you next year!

Hi cliff n pat, yes our price if charged as a standard pitch will include the EHU. as it would with a caravan. TBH the larger tents do cause us a headache when it comes to both pitch size and thus space on the park and pricing.. Our major problem is that some of the larger tents can take up more space than a caravan, awning and car all put together, in this instance we have to say we are unable to accomodate.  We only have a small (ish) park and just physically don't have the space, plus the space between to take such units.

With regard pricing again a headsch looms, we toyed with the idea of going one price for all, including ehu, on a use it or loose it basis but then you do have people who have a small 2 man tent and don't want electric, is it right that they take up less space and have to pay more for it?  I don't know the answer...

We are lucky in one way as we are an open park, pitches are marked put we are able to combine 2 pitches if necessary to get a large tent in plus the legal spacing, but then we loose as a business as technically that large tent is taking up 2 pitches and we only gain the income of 1.

Park owners struggle with this each year and personally I can see no end to it, it's just something we have to suck and see each year....

Hope that helps
