Wonder if anyone can comment on this issue: we have booked a pitch at Harewood House for the game fair in July. The pitch is £60 per night which in itself is more than we have ever paid. Although haven't booked EHU there is an option to add this but it is £80 for 1, 2 or 3 nights regardless of how many nights stay. This seems very excessive and wondered if anyone has come across anything similar? Thanks
Do you need to be on site for the fair? If not then Rudding Park is only about 10 minutes away and considerably cheaper. We just spent a week there while the Harrogate flower show was on and can recommend it.
Its often the way with such events. As has been said they have to cover their costs for supplying such a service. Mind you the CC only charge £30 a night at the NEC including electrics.
There is a site called Moor Lodge at Bardsey which appears to be in the right area, not stayed there, but it certainly won't be anything like £60 per night! I am surprised that you would even consider paying that for a non-ehu pitch, and when did anyone ever pay £20 per night for ehu? We don't often pay £20 for a site! If you do decide to go there, or any other site in the area, I would book it up quickly.
it could be a supply and demand thing.. the purpose of the high price being to limit demand.. you ether pay it for what it give you or you go elsewhere..
if a member of the Caravan Club look for a CL in the area with electric hook up I would never pay that much per night ,is there a reason you want to stay on site over night.
I go to the Blenheim Palace International Horse trials and It's £65 extra if you want EHU on the Horse Trials camp site.
As a C/C member I stay on the club site which is adjoining the Blenheim estate rather than the horse trials camp site, it's cheaper and you get all the site facilities.
the £60 a night I hope that includes the entrance fee too? because the normal day visitor costs are £30 per adult if it did include entrance then it would work out cheaper to camp there rather than pitch elsewhere and travel in
