Just had my freind come round after his 2 weeks away in his caravan with family and i don't understand this lol.

He said to me his mums sterling which is around 20ft was £25 per night

my freind which brought a abbey expression 26ft was £34 anight :(

Surely a pitch is a pitch regaurdless on how big your caravan is ? They were parked next to each other so there was no specail sized pitch for his .

Is this greed?

Dont think any caravan park goes on length,Could be one van was being charged for an awning or the number of people in the van plus if they had a dog.

Hi posse, Must have been a private site (maybe), peak season, additional adults or children, extra car. All add up £36 dose seem a bit greedy, mind you if it were a haven site, that would be very cheep. Cant say I have ever noticed if the size of van was charged by footage, though the CC ask you to state size of van on the booking form on web, that is so the can make sure your van will fit the pitch. Would be interesting to know if some sites charge by the size of van.

yep these camp sites are getting worse,we used  to tent we have now got a caravan,I can't see why they should charge extra for the same size pitch maybe we should start and open are mouths and say why, we get the same size pitch even when booking with awning.We have had 2 breaks away,1st was 19.75 per night 2nd 25 have booked another 27 per night daughter is coming with tent same price all in Anglesy.

Supply and demand; everywhere is getting expensive.  In high season, for two adults and two kids a pitch at the Looe, Cornwall C.C. site will cost you £23.35 a night.

we have a 26 footer, and do consider this when booking as i have seen some sites will insist on a larger pitch at a slightly higher cost....but not as much as you have suggested.

C&CC's site at Glenmore (a Forest holidays one) charges more for 'vans over 28.2 ft.

http://camping.forestholidays.co.uk/camping_and_caravanning/our_sites__locations/scotland/glenmore.aspx

they're blummin expensive anyway - £24.50 per night in high season for any pitch with ehu,  & that only covers for 2 adults (& dogs if you have them)  any kids or extra adults there's supplements on top - and if your stay encompasses weekends or bank hols more supplements yet.  Very expensive imo.

Personally unless you actually need a bigger than standard pitch I think it's a colossal rip-off to charge people extra for bigger caravans.

Hi there all, I am just starting camping again after 35 years and I can see that the equipment is totally different now, better lighter tents. Could anyone tell me what the average price per night, might be for a 5- man tent in say the lakes or yorkshire dales.      Thanks Arroweddie.

Maybe I would get a discount as my caravan has a body length of just 9' 6" with a shipping length of just 12'

it also amazes me how a tent can be cheaper than a van on the sites where they seem to be mixed and not in seperate fields also tents get electric as well and looking at some of the tents today they are huge and sometimes take up more space than a van so hows that work, my opinion is the cost of a pitch should be fixed to same for all and you put on it what you can fit ie awning, pup tent etc etc
