I have not actually bought a caravan yet but I am slightly put off by the pitch prices, up to £20 a day, is that normal ?
Seems a lot to me!

We have bought a van so we can have regular and cheaper trips and holidays with our kids that are at school. 4 days at Centre PARC's costs well over £1,000. Days at a family camp site with entertainment and swimming etc (with a large electric pitch) is £250.
Add the weekends away in the caravan for Two nights at smaller sites says £50 for a pitch compared with two nights in a cheap hotel minimum of £100 (a questimate only) I'll be saving around £1,500 a yr plus going where I like with my own stuff inc bed and toilet!
Okay there is initial outlay and maintenance (no more than my motorbike that I am selling I hope) but the benefit to my kids having new experiences and the flexible option the Van gives makes to a bargain in my view...
Admittedly I am new to this too and my glass is 'half full' but seems like its worth it compared to the alternatives.

We've just returned from a 7 night stay at 'Higher Trevaskis ' Connor Downs - Hayle. 2 adults, 2 children, awning & electric hook -up. (Peak rate, July/August) total. £217. We've been before & will go again, our first stay was in 1991.
On your own it may seem expensive,but for a family the cost becomes less per head!!
If you join the C&C Club, you will probably save the fee the first week you book at a site of theirs each subsequent visit being subsidised
