Camper van parking etiquette

I think good order, neatness and symmetry should be maintained. It always was so on Club sites in the past and it's a sign of the times that standards have fallen. 

PS I am over on the mainland where no one gives a damn what you guys on the island choose to do. 

...Thats what i keep telling my brother when he complains how hard done by they are

In answer to the op's question......the leaflet that you are given on arrival at every CC site makes it all very clear.

This shows that you have to pitch in the following order - Car / Caravan (or motorhome) / Awning (just omit any of these components you don't have) and keep the caravan / motorhome just to the right of the marker peg.

All this is as viewed from the front of the pitch.

Keeps everyone happy and complies with the rules.

The OPs question has already been answered correctly, vans can be placed forwards or rear facing.

But, in the case of caravans or motorcaravans with cars on non-awning pitches which side does the car go on? The habitation door side or the other?

The site instructions are very clear - car / van / awning......whichever of those components you have with you or your pitch allows.

Ian, there are sites where cars have to go in front of vans but the vans can still face in or out. There are sites,eg Hillhead where you can park your van sideways on some pitches. 

But, in the case of caravans or motorcaravans with cars on non-awning pitches which side does the car go on? The habitation door side or the other?

It depends where the peg is, some pitches have corner pegs, others have central pegs. Some pitches are long and narrow.

edit, to be honest I've never seen a "standard" pitch except on the very new or refurbished sites.

Sounds a daft system to me. You have to go round the back of the van to get something from the car when it's raining? I would never park up like that unless told to. The sensible arrangement surely is van/awning/car or if no space, car across the front of the van and awning.

No doubt there are sites where most want to look at the view, Bunree for instance...customer choice and all that. I'm quite pleased to able to face which way I want. I don't mind anything really as long as it's a decent pitch or site.

As far as I know centre pegs are long gone, aren't they are all corner to peg pitches on CC sites these days?
