Red Shoot camping Site - New Forest - Rip Off??

[CliveV]

Just got their day tarif and found it amazing!

Adults £5.50, Children £3.50, Car £1.70, Day Visitor £1.00, Dogs £1.00, Elec H/U £3.20, Awning £2.10, Gazebo £5.0.

And this was only the bits that applied to me!! They like to charge for a lot more.

Am I out of touch or does the above represent "normal" prices these days. We usually use CL's (highest cost we have paid is £10 per night all inclusive) but wanted a site in the New Forest for a friend who is recovering from an operation and could not find that many CL's in the area we wanted.

I have been on this site as a day visitor myself and have had a beer many times in the Red Shoot Pub. The camp site is ok but nothing special.

Anyone any views?

I thought you were not allowed to charge separately for electricity unless it was metered!

I have not been charged separatly elswhere and can remember seeing this on a thread some time ago.

What about the other costs?

Any comments

I think I prabably am out of touch re the large commercial sites. Just goes to show what excellent value the CL's are.

I found the separate charging at the Red Shoot ludicrous. I know

Hi Klarky,

coulden't agree more there are more hidden charges than the current goverment. Well must sign off as I think I am going to pass wind and I don't want the goverment to find out about that as they will have me under section 5 of the Health and Safety at Work Act, Harmful Ommisions into the Atmosphere and they will place a charge on me.
