Are UK Campsites Too Expensive? WEST AYTON CAMC SCARBOROUGH

[@terry9414]

The UK is a nightmare for being ripped off by greedy campsites, unfortunately the worst culprits seem to be affiliated to the camc, I am also bombarded by emails, trying to sell me courses, insurance or other stuff. As I cannot justify the prices they try to extort I will not be re-joining. Great honest Vid, letting people know what they are letting themselves in for using camc site

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi there. We try to be honest and straight talking Yorkshire folk so very glad you liked it. We have come to a different site this weekend and it’s not camc so we can compare….. watch this space…

[@bvgb921]

£58.00 pound is a rediculous amount to pay, I stayed on a campsite in Thornton Le Dale which isn't far from Scarborough on 31/4/2023 and it was £15.00 per night for 2 adults, and the pitches are about 50 metres apart from each other, so everyone has their privacy.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hey. I’m checking that place out pronto….. if there’s a pub close I’m interested 😂😂

[@electricragtime]

even cheaper in pickering

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

@electricragtime we will be going to the Pickering site soon

Hi Clare and Andrew. I've just booked 9 nights in June at West Ayton then I found your video, dony know if I've done the right thing now 😊. But at least it meant I found your u tube channel, absolutely love it. I'm at work on an oil rig off Blackpool with nothing to do I've binge watched over half of your videos and it's kept me busy. Love it, keep it coming, it's the highlight of my day.

[@johnkershaw5475]

And this is why 90% of my park ups are free , a campsite can offer me nothing that the wilderness can not as long as I have done my shopping before hand :)

[@marraaman]

We’ve just cancelled our membership, they are to expensive for what you get and we prefer independent sites where you get value for money and better facilities. Love the videos👍👍👍

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

We totally agree about independent sites. Our favourite independent so far is one in Filey on the tops. Great facilities for me and excellent nature for Andy…. Oh and a pub in walking distance 😀

[@davidmatthews3093]

Most of the camp sites I use in France are €10-12 a night but sometimes it’s as little as €8. In Spain it can be up to €16. For that I’ve got all the facilities that I need.

We've just spent 17 nights on an adult only, fully serviced pitched site, (electric and facilities included and dog friendly), in the very South West of Cornwall, between Helston and Porthleven. £37 per night, with WIFI included. During the entire stay there were only 6 of the 12 available pitches occupied. Second time we've been and its a real find for the area... Heading back again at the end of August for another two weeks......

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Sounds fab. We love Cornwall and went to a static caravan site there about 2 years ago. You will have to share the details with us. We hope you love your next trip in August and that you get a sunny week

I love it at Bracken farm as well

[@davidmatthews3093]

That still sounds expensive to me.

[@crozzy28]

What a great video makes a change for people to tell the truth about the cost of sites, since Covid sites have all jumped on the band wagon with prices, I understand costs have increased but like you pointed out you can get a room for less. No site should be over £30 per night, we have stayed at west Ayton before Covid a few times for the Pickering war weekend and never paid over £30, love this type of video hopefully site owners will take note of guys like you, but I fear it’s a supply and demand situation. More floggers should start and highlight this day light robbery and stop just pushing the freebie’s they receive good or bad! Keep it coming peeps 😁👍

[@LeisureBit]

The price seems to have gone daft doesn’t it. The privacy wall was funny 😂 It’s very random the prices sites are charging, you can get a great site with hookup and nice views and facilities for £20-25 (the odd under £20) still but lots seem to be going up and up such as the one you visited, imagine it would be around a tenner cheaper a year or two ago? Interesting video, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

As you say much cheaper to camp abroad , I’ve also stayed twice on the campsite Jungfrau in Lauterbrunnen, think I paid €130 for a pitch on their small camping field no electric for 3 nights. Just down the road at Aareg campsite on lake Brienz was €27. Great vlogs guys, you are both northern comedy gold.

We always loved this site but since redevelopment we haven't been due to the inflated prices, and found this on most sites within the CAMC network,, I do think they are starting to outprice themselves now, and we don't use the club sites much at all. Do a lot of rallies now with the MCC average cost £12 p/n

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hey! It was a really well kept site but us Yorkshire folks like value, and we truly feel we didn’t get it here. Rallies sound great, we have never been on any… so that’s something for our list.

[@karlospappy8908]

Shocking, the price of UK camp sites is getting ridiculous and while people pay the higher prices, the owners will keep increasing them. We have stayed in some great sites in Spain and Sothern France. I have just checked and for this time of year, prices are 20-35 Euro a night with EHU, great facilities, views and a pool. Cheers K.

We regularly use an adult only site near York, lovely and clean, lovely shower and toilet block, bus stop outside sight to get into York. We are going for three nights next week, £119.00, all in pitch, they’ve just informed me that next year they’ll be adding £3.00 a day on for electric, but if extra electricity is required it can be purchased from the site office, so next year we’re talking £43.00 plus a night😱😱😱…I think we will be looking elsewhere…

Am lucky enough to have a camper van with it's own toilet, shower, fridge etc. which means we can stay in small offgrid back-to-nature type sites with few facilities. Just booked a New Forest campsite for 3 nights for £10 per night (only includes water and chemical waste facility. We have stayed in more expensive sites, but avoid anything that costs over £30/£35 per night. The number of rules also seems to go up the higher the price is.

[@beverleyfisher935]

Totally agree. We've been CAMC members for 25 years and are considering cancelling. We're currently on Castleton CAMC site on a non awning pitch for £46.50 per night. I might add u pay the same whether u have an awning or not. We are not allowed to put a toilet tent up because it's a non awning pitch but we have taken up a third of the pitch with our tiny VW camper compared to great big caravans and a car on other pitches. We were handed a double sided A4 sheet of 'rules' and every toilet cubicle has more rules on the doors about pitching up, time of arrival etc. We are grown ups being treated like children. So different to our welcome at a CCC site in Scotland a few weeks ago!

I thought it was meant to be cheaper up north. At least that’s what my mate (originally from Barnsley) tells me. In Dorset you should be able to get on to a decent site for £20-£35 with all the facilities. I’ve opted for farmers fields recently: Wooders Campsite, Wareham forest. Pitch up where you want. £8.00 per night per adult. Camper vans/caravans £5.00 extra. Hot and cold showers, toilets bar open on Fri/Sat. Steeple Leaze farm near Kimmeridge, similar: £8.00 per night per adult. Toilets: Farmyard and in field - Showers - Rubbish disposal - Washing up sinks around the site - Drinking water from stand pipes in the yard - Camp fires and barbeques allowed - Car parking by pitch? What’s not to like?

Just found your channel. Where do I start........ I am older age than you guys (60) but glad to see that you are reviewing these sites. So i have been caravaning for 30 years and motorhoming the past 6 years. I realised how much of a rip off sites are when I started Motorhoming. I am a member of both clubs for the past 36 years, i havent been to a proper club site for the past 6 years. Main reason is value for money, CL and Cs sites are where I go now if I am not wild camping. You may think i am living in Scotland. No , north of England , lots of places to pull up for the night , in England , only thing I wont do is put up an awning or perhaps not use my deck chairs, that depends at times if no one about then whats the harm . No need for privacy fence as I am usually remote location. I often get into an area where there are picnic benches for free..... i be respectful to other people and try to be inconspicuous which is tricky as I have an 8 mtr motorhome. Anyway , I agree sites are taking the piss! i REFUSE to pay there rip off rates. Fortunately I have had 36 years of freedom. I am prepared to walk away from it all if it continues to be stupid and unrealistic. Glad to have had the time I have had, but feel sorry for the future generations. Thats why I am glad to see you guys pushing back , keep up the good work and enjoy your freedom.

Generally we have found that club sites of all types are a rip off. We have for several years now only use family owned sites. Most recent was in Cornwall, Chacewater Park. An adults only site which is well kept and has all the facilities that are required in two blocks that were very clean and tidy. All that for £150 a week even in the summer. Obviously not a pristine a site as this one but who actually needs that. Back there again in August.

The CAMC have become very expensive, I am a member at the moment but I’ll probably not be renewing my membership. To stay on a CAMC site costs a similar price to a reasonable hotel room. We just want somewhere to park over night, we use our own facilities the only thing we need is somewhere to park, somewhere to dump grey water, a tap to fill our fresh water tank and a toilet waste emptying point. Surely that doesn’t cost fifty to seventy pounds? And then when you book there’s different prices for the number of people in your unit, so a solo person gets a price then each additional adult costs ten to fifteen pounds extra. Ok the sites need maintaining and cleaning, but the prices just don’t weigh up, I don’t mind paying a fair price, but the CAMC have gone way over fair prices.

So you've gone on the most expensive pitch and complain that it was expensive? The last C&MC site I stayed on cost £21.00 per night. If you had gone instead to the C&C Club in Scarborough you could have gone on grass only for a fraction of the price you paid. I recently paid £9.30 a night for a grass only pitch on a C&C Club site. Maybe you should change the name of this video to "Are premium pitches worth the extra money?" as judging the price of camping in the UK by quoting the most expensive pitch you can get seems unfair to me.

Barnsley war cry , Oww Much!!!! After 5 years we've just ditched the CAMC membership as clearly not value for money or sorry a rip off!! There are better independent campsites we find that are cheaper. CAMC sites are "nice" but you must park within a mm of the space rules/designated fire break, facing the right direction or face the Roth of " I'm the warden and in charge, officious purple polo shirt wearing male, at a site that may or may not be near to where you where you were the next resort down the east coast for example

Hi, we have only been to one independent place in Filey on the cliffs and it was brilliant. It wasn’t too busy and Andy didn’t yell the Barnsley war cry once !!! 🤣🤣

Hey, thanks for watching our video

You want a story? Camping and Caravan sites require you to book online. You can't ring the site, or should I say, it's very rare you can ring them. So you go online, if you can get a signal in Scotland. You say you're in a campervan, and 1 adult. You are very unlikely to get a pitch. The Camping and Caravan algorithm wants a unit, 2 or more adults, 2 kids, and a dog. The algorithm wants the best money making booking. So if you are on your lonesome, you've go not chance. If you're looking for a pitch around 5pm, you might be lucky, because the algorithm knows the window to get that 2+2+1 booking is getting very small. I've been rejected by countless Caravan & Camping Club sites.

Hi there. This is terrible to read… I have noticed that some independent sites take phone bookings, another reason to use them I think. Happy travels in your campervan

Have to say that the C&M club serves a great purpose. It puts al the grumpy motorhome and caravaners in one place. You know the type. The ones that moan because someone has put up a flag pole, moan about sliding doors on camper vans or kids playing in the play area.

We are just interested in the best walks and the closest pubs 🤷‍♀️🤔🤣

[@geoffnicholson776]

And don't forget do not be taken ill or your car breaks down within 21 days of arriving on site and you have to cancel or bang goes your deposit. Has this club become the heartless club ?

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. We didn’t think too much about that and it’s a valid point Thanks for watching 👍

Snobs are willing to pay.
