Booking date for 2017 bookings

We only use booking day for one specific "honey pot" site. We like to go their at the bank holidays as it's reasonably close and a few additional weekends.  I have to get into work 35 miles away for before 8am to get sorted.  Come on CC - a rolling programme or a weekend.  We aren't all retired.

No doubt you could log on at 9 or 10 and still get what you wanted, we always do if we book in advance and mostly we do not use the booking opening day but much later and always get what we want.

There are some things that are sold out before 10:00 on booking day. It very much depends on what dates you are trying to book.

The weekends get booked up more or less straightaway on booking day for this particular site.  We ocassionally get a last minute cancellation on a Tuesday afternoon for the following weekend but we don't want to risk it hence we choose to book that particular site only on booking day.  

Each to their own, obviously, but, personally I can't think of anything worse than booking a "honeypot" CC site when it's going to be full, even more so if it involves taking part in frenzy day madness!

Baltic Wharf is always Full M . You don't always have to book it on Frenzy day though, only for the Balloon festival and many of the weekends. However, it matters not when you visit, it will be full. Although I think I did see an empty pitch one night.

The only time I ever booked on frenzy day was a few years ago when going to Dunnet Bay. Sites are few and far between up there and I didn't want to find there was "no room at the inn"

So not much different to frenzy day then. Watching the bookings to check for a cancelation. I am afraid I just don't buy into everybody cancelling. We didn't for one.

I am quite happy to accept that there will be the odd cancelation, as you were obviously lucky enough to pick up. It is just this urban myth that vast numbers book weekends and other high profile periods, only to cancel them at the last minute, that I don't buy into.
