I always used to buy the supermarket own brand packs of 2 litre bottles, worked out at 17p per bottle but this year they have not far off doubled in price. It’s now cheaper to buy the 5litre bottles, or was at the start of July in Wiltshire. You get some funny looks pushing a trolley out with 15 x 5ltr bottles across the car park.Even the certified sites can be expensive, we paid £15 to park in a slopey field with a tap on a falling-down post in one corner, sheep droppings everywhere, and the toilet was in the farmer's outhouse. I had wondered about asking a C&CC site for some water as I think I read somewhere that some of their sites are offering use of the facilities - showers, toilets, water, cassette dump for £7.50 for two hours, I think. But I'm not sure if that was a standard thing that they all have to offer, or if it is only some of them.
They all quote "from" something but as with the one I investigated on my phone last week, when it said "from £20 a night" reality was £47 a night. You could spend that in internet search fees looking.
Thanks for the encouragement that you are exclusively UK @nabsim . Years ago we got a 5 litre bottle from Tesco but recently , looking in Asda and the Co-Op the biggest we could find was 1.5l. Anyway it got us out of trouble for two days. Tricky trying to clean the toilet after a dump though!
