[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 148761, member: 178"] We have a 5 van Caravan Club site, been going for over 40 years now I think. I cant remember a time when it was not here. Based in an old orchard and we offer electric hook up, toilet and shower block with waste disposal. Site is open 365 days a year and there is normally at least one van on site all year around and we are always full in the school holidays and spring/autumn term times. Location helps being near the coast and Exeter and only 10 mins from the end of the M5 [URL='http://www.crablakefarm.co.uk']www.crablakefarm.co.uk[/URL] Not sure about some of the prices being quoted above but we are pretty typical for the area at £13 per night for the van and £1 a night if awning used. We don’t charge per head or for dogs that some places seem to. You have to keep an eye on the electric usage as some take the micky running fan heaters all day and night but generally people are pretty fair. Hardest part is making sure the place is clean each day and cutting the grass in the summer. We hardly get any complaints. The main annoyance is people ringing yup to book, you take their details and a deposit and they never then turn up meaning you have a gap to fill at peak season in short notice. We now insist on a decent non refundable deposit during peak season of at least 3 days payment. As a result of the caravan site we also now store caravans, only about 24, all undercover. If I could find another site to store more I would tomorrow as I could fill ours 4 times over and it is money for old rope. [/QUOTE]
