With the UK energy price cap rising again, campsite operators are facing a costly dilemma. For ease, many sites have decided to bundle electricity into their pitch fees, offering guests the convenience of “all-in” pricing. But this summer, that convenience could come at a painful cost.

The Problem: Electricity is Getting Expensive — Fast

The latest hike in the energy price cap means that operators who don’t charge guests separately for electricity are now at further risk of losing money. As air fryers, electric heaters, EV chargers and more become common at pitches, guest consumption is becoming both unpredictable and expensive to subsidise.

For parks already dealing with tight margins and post-COVID recovery, this is a storm they can’t afford to weather blindly.
