When starting Camping and caravaning it was a cheap holiday, now its starting to get beyond a joke.. as well as so much per pitch its also so much per eprson, dog, awning, car, extra person, non chemical drainage, with electric and water.... would some one explain how this is and why it is..

is it that they wouldnt be able to warrant a large hike in fees, so they decided to had in extras...

hi steve and shaz i know where you are coming from with high prices it had use to be cheap to camp and some sites are charging way over the top for what faclities they have got on site seen some small sites charging £3 or 4 a night for hookup awning and dogs exrta on top of site fees its ok if people are mad enough to pay them but i would not

think they are doing what they do abroad... "Supplement" there should be just one price for the site.. yes, if you want electric £2 is resonable and small charge for awning (as you have to find some where to park car), but to charge for water hook up and drainage and per person.. no.. BUT i cannot understand is the PER person as well.... if you are paying for the site (plot) then amount of people should have no bearing on the cost

.. Mmmmm..

Actually, I never book a site with added extras.  I usually pay per person and an EHU charge.  Occasionally, I pay extra for the awning.

How about this for a tariff.  I've seen the site and it's nice but there is no way I would book there.

Ive just been very naughty.

I've just emailed them the following. Will let you know if I get a reply.

Hope you don't mind but.......

I've just been looking at your chart for working out the tariff on your site and was wondering who worked it all out.

Is the genius a maths professor?

Is it easy to use because it doesnt seem like it to me and I use spreadsheets every day.

Good luck in getting a reply.

Though to be honest the thing that struck me about the "latest tariff" was that it was for 2007. Maybe this year it's more sensible??
