Decided to shoot off Friday night for a couple of nights out,decided on a camp site maybe a few hours drive from home,
Have tried loads but all booked up
Also got a shock at the charges some are asking
Where are you going?
What charges are you meeting?
 
I have booked southwold for 3 nights in August as my daughter and granddaughters are coming to and it’s across the road from the beach and paid £120 for that. Apart from that I don’t do campsites

Lovely beach there, just down the road from us, so we can go free ;)
Inland the sites are a bit cheaper ( £25 at the pub near Halesworth Triple Plea) but I suppose they charge for proximity to beach.
 
I only use C&CC CS sites which are usually around the £10.00 - £15.00 mark depending on whether you have ehu.
Have to agree some of the campsite prices are scandalous, worse for me as I’m on my own apart from the dog. Another issue is in the lakes most if not all the C&CC main sites have a minimum number of nights in high season, usually 3 nights.
 
£5 for a lovely CS tonight, then £14 for a very smart CL with electric hook up, then 3 nights at the Shuttleworth collection for the airshow, £50. We usually use a CL or CS about every three nights so average about £5 a night.
 
Going to a party in Brampton and will have a few sherberts
Bloody rip off £24 cl site includes a charge for the dog, on-site at 3 before 12 the next day, more that a pound an hour

Go to a CCC THS Gordon. If you fancy being near a beach try Soughall Farm between N. Berwick and Dunbar. I'm at one near Bridlington costing £9 a night. Moving on Saturday to one near Whitby. It is expensive at £14 a night, but near to town.
 
I agree, many campsites get incredibly greedy during the summer, just because they can. Recently, I was quoted £40 a night in Dorset with a minimum booking of 3 nights. This was just for an overnight to give my daughtrer a chance to visit the outlaws, so I politely declined and we managed a day trip instead.

Mind you, right about now I'd pay almost anything to be away in the van but I'm still on visiting-from-Aus-daughter-and-partner-entertainment duty. Love having them here though and I'll get some away time next week when they head off to explore somewhere in Europe.
 
I would also like to get away but health problems have stopped me getting the van MOT done, when it is done though I agree with Biggarmac and we will go to a THS, the money saved in the summer puts a lot of fuel in the van, a few years ago we had three weeks in Devon at £10pn
 
‘Tis the silly season for a lot of sites. In Sardinia I was quoted £€70 per night. But have ended up paying €63 for one night at a site near Antibes ... some of that was a booking fee. We had to book that one as James will get to see 3 of his children and 4 grandkids ... couldn’t risk them not having space. Am sure it’s ghe most we’ve ever paid by far.
 
It’s don’t help when jeffmossy tells me he is finishing soon aghhhhh! Maybe he is winding me up?
The problem is it’s a family related business and got a few off just now and under pressure and got truckfest coming up as well then druridge ?
I’m meant to be finishing on the 22/02/2022
 
Going to rowntrees park york tomorrow lovely location but about £73 for two nights
Might start robbing banks to pay for it but don't think 7m sprinter van will make good getaway vehicle
