    FAQ

    How much does an average campsite in England cost?

    Expect £35 to £50 per night at a full-facility managed campsite in peak season. Off season rates drop to £15 to £30. Private pitches and pub stops can cost significantly less.

    Does solar really save money on campsites?

    Yes - if you no longer need electricity hook-up, you save £5 to £15 per night and unlock a much wider range of cheaper overnight options that do not offer electricity at all.

    Is the Caravan and Motorhome Club worth joining?

    For anyone staying at Club sites more than five or six nights a year - yes. The £69 annual membership saves £15 per night on Club site pitch fees and unlocks access to Certificated Locations which are often cheaper and in better locations than main sites.
