It seems the rule hasn't been reinstated, at least not everywhere. I arrived at a C&CC site on Friday (though not in the lakes) and before I could even open my mouth to speak the lady was already sending me away, saying they were full. I didn't have the stones to ask her about a backpacker rate, but a fella told me in the morning that there wasn't one, the price is the same for all non-members.Slowroad wrote: ↑27 Feb 2022, 8:30pmThis was suspended due to the pandemic, not sure it has been reinstated. I would be interested to know other people's experiences this year as I have in the past not booked C&CC sites and just turned up and always was squeezed in. I'm now booking ahead, but backpacker rates not available online, so either ringing or booking the car rate online and getting the difference knocked off when I arrive - not been an issue yet.Assuming small tent - Camping & Caravan club sites generally will try and squeeze you in.
Near Staveley, Kendal & Keswick.

Not cheap in the first place but very good facilities
Back to the main topic - yes, this is totally my experience in recent years and especially now. Was recently quoted £30 a night and £100 deposit. For one person and a tent.
Fortunately I had booked in advance....maybe my £24 got me all of the remaining pitches....
