Camping prices

st3v3 said:
We have 2 nights booked in September at a total cost of £70. They have emailed implying that we will still be able to use the facilities as we have already booked, but new bookings will not get anything except takeaway food.

So I've just checked the price for the same break, that now doesn't include any facilities and they want £82. Also, mid July (BEFORE school holidays) they want £70 A NIGHT!

Camping is going to be f'kin expensive lol.

I know here people will have to take there own rubbish away until the boss sorts his system out for rubbish the old way is a no no now, the tip is close and anyone can go. We are still out on toilets and children’s play areas until government gives guidelines. We will now have four water taps and four hand washing stations. Social distancing may be an issue if people don’t abide by rules ?
We are heading towards July 4th for opening but need those guidelines !!! Can’t say we are pleased with cleaning toilets and showers rather hoping facilities stay shut this year but if not we will take care to be safe ... I know our hours will go up compared to other years and I think it will be busy busy busy !!!
If it’s cash payments we will have a bucket and people can drop it in and take change. Hopefully most will pay online.
But at the moment we are enjoying the break :)

Just open for those who are self contained. (if that is an option for you ?)
Water and sewage and grey water are OK
Maybe provide good binbags for "household rubbish" but tell campers to take it away when they go or point them to a local facility
 
I expect there to be higher demand for UK campsites this year, apparently sales of tenting gear have been huge and they can't all be expecting to camp in their own gardens. However, will tents be allowed to start camping again with their necessity of toilet & shower blocks?
Anyway, the nice weather has gone now, I predict a wet July & August.
I suppose site prices will be higher for a number of reasons - less capacity, no tents?, recovery of losses, more overheads.................

Last time I went to a campsite was in Santa Pola to meet some Spanish mates.
One of the guys set up a big screen telly outside his van, in the evening we watched a champions league match between Man Utd & Barcelona.
I remember Rooney scored the first goal & one of the guys jumped up & hugged me.
I was quite surprised but someone said ‘he’s a Madrid supporter’.
That’ll give some idea of the date.

I went into a shower type block down south at a marina,it was disgusting with sh-t on the floor and ladies s/towels stuck to the walls,and that was one of the clean ones,van for me every time.
 
Simple one.... If you don't want to pay the price...
No one is holding a gun against anyone's head.

For what it's worth as well as many years wild camping...
Ive also stopped on many sites (from basic farmers field/cl/cs types) ranging from £5 a night to nearly £30 a night...

I choose whether I like the site/location and then decide IF I'm willing to pay....

Easy

Never a truer word spoken, in realty whatever we buy goods or service , a good deal is a state of mind.

In view of the expected demand for sites I'm rather pleased you've decided never to use a site and rather hope there are a lot of people who agree with you. I do feel that if your decision is based on one bad experience then life could become very restricted over time as you meet things that don't appeal to you though.
 
I only ever use the club sites and the C/L's and really can't fault the quality of the facilities, except that most try to save water by putting a brick in the toilet cistern to save water, which it doesn't but wastes a lot of time standing flushing the damn thing. Some of the C/L's with showers have been installed by not so good DIYers with strange movements in the shower tray and some pretty iffy tiling, but they are usually a damn site better than a lot of the motorway service area showers.

Well I've booked three days in July and three in September with the CMC sites at normal rates and if we get the go ahead earlier I'll get a few days in a cl somewhere. At this time of year it can be basic or with bits (as it says on the orange juice carton). I'm not wilding this year as I can see trouble with the locals scared of me bringing in my dirty disease into th area.
