Pay Per Use Electric on site.

Glad I'm not alone thinking this, we've paid £54 for one site near Snowdon later this month!

£54? Is that for a week?

 

[Stay Frosty]

Yes, £27 for two weeks or £30 if you prepay your speeding fines.

We're currently a mile or so away from the Busfest 3 Counties showground at Malvern and didn't have a choice over hard standing or hook up which is probably for the best.
Did anyone notice it's rained quite a lot this year so far, grass is boggy here with the water table roughly 2" below the grass, anyway on EHU so rather cunningly we've bought the electric kettle, 2 KW heater and electric blanket and yes it's spotting with rain, cold rain.

Not sure whether to give that a 'love', 'laugh', or 'sad', so ended up just giving a 'like'

I guess it's just off route for the OP from Cambridge to Devon (although not for me from Shropshire) but we always use the Fromebridge Mill as our overnight stopover. No services but food available and the 'charge' is just a donation of £10 to Macmillan charity.

Putting us off our planned trip in April to UK via Ireland as looks like it's a bit of a lottery. So much cheaper here in Spain. We can only hope that our tour of Ireland camp sites cost a little less...................

To be fair, we've driven away from some sites in France uttering that famous Yorkshire war cry "Ow much!!". Especially down south or on the west Atlantic coast. The flip side is we've stayed on some cracking little accredited sites here in the UK for £10-12/night. It's the usual case of you pays your money & takes your choice. Our general rule is we avoid anything with more than 3 stars, you end up paying for stuff that you don't need or actively want to avoid, Kids clubs, swimming pool, entertainment, etc. All we ask of a site is a clean loo, hot shower & a quiet night. If you can avoid high season, the ACSI card is definitely your friend. Campsites are a business & they exist to make money, they can only charge what people will pay.

If you think the UK is expensive (it doesn't have to be) then you're in for a shocker in Ireland.
