It may be because of the price of oil, along with the demand. I've just discovered that there is a new camping shop opening in our little town centre next week so things are looking up..!
------------- Why can't we live in the tent..?

Not surprised. I know quite a few people (me inc) who have this year discovered camping. When the demand is there prices will rise. Glad I bought all I need this year. No doubt site prices will increase next season but will still be cheaper than alternatives.
Yep, I'd heard that too - tents and equipment set to rise next year - that's why I've bought loads in the sales (my excuse anyway & I'm sticking to it )

We were also told this by Yeomans, at the Lincoln Tent Show and they were hinting at it as a result of global oil and fuel increases impacting on import/export prices. We inquired about a Wolf Lake 7 and Yeomans think that this will be around the £1000 mark next year! This is a huge increase.
We have read and heard about the price increases from a number of sources - some saying as much as 30%.
You can see where it is coming from being the oil increases (for the artificial fabrics and chemical waterproofers along with transport), the increase in popularirty and also in some cases China is increaseing the export tarrif on goods from their shores.
This was one reason why we have bought our Vermont L recently, to take advantage of end of season sale prices and also because we couldn't wait (the inner child comiung out).
However it could all be a clever marketing ploy.
