What a bargain !!!!

I got a text from "The club" giving me £40 off a 3 night site stay. Needs to be booked before next week and taken before the end of September. It would have been rude not to take advantage 

Yes, and as for the other lot. I got an email with a range of carefully thought out % discount offers. I say carefully thought out because the conditions applied and the limited sites included mean it's very difficult to save a bean.

I think that's the point.  Some people only want a spot of grass or hardstanding to park their van overnight.  For them a carpark will do.  Others like me want much more, among other things, a good ambience and plenty of space between pitches which I know from experience and some of the photos and stories on this thread and elsewhere is less available on the Continent than in UK, France perhaps being the exception.  When we lived on the Continent for over 5 years, the best site we visited with our caravan was a CL near the Old Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire.  The only drawback was we had to pay for a ferry to get there and back!

Ian - each to their own.  I would rather have a level pitch than one with ramps especially if the ramps can only be used on the front wheels as I might want to park the van the other way around either for the view (if there is one) or to avoid having the habitation door on the same side as my neighbour's.  I don't need a sink and tap on the pitch because I've got one in the motorhome.  If I need to wash something that is particularly dirty I can do it outside in my bucket.  I'm happy with a cassette and grey water emptying point and freshwater tap in the corner of the field and wouldn't trust a hose other than my own and I am also quite happy to use my water barrel.  EHU is useful but I wonder if it is 16A because we found many on the Continent aren't.  Never tried watching TV abroad but in this country a co-ax feed is useful if the terrestrial TV is poor.  I'm not sure I would want to sit on an awning hardstanding that close to a neighbouring van which would be my main objection and I have plenty of pegs of my own so don't need any anchor points.  Most sites we use that have a toilet or shower, include it in the cost of the pitch and, if they do, I will use them but I am equally happy to use our own facilities.  A nice touch we have seen on some sites is a picnic bench on each pitch but for that you need space which is sadly lacking on the pitch you have shown.
