How early?

At Alderstead Heath, Redhill CMC site, the barriers lock between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. I think it's the same at other club sites too, such as Gatwick and Northbrook Farm, Worthing.

Great idea, I'm on it, discounted prices obviously.

I have noticed over the last few months the frequency of cars being moved before 7am is on the increase. Just yesterday at Chatsworth a car pulled of the site at 6.00, not with caravan but still shutting car doors and engines are not silent. 3 weeks ago another couple were getting their van ready for departure from 6.00, pulling off the pitch at 6.55, possibly there had been an emergency but as stated at the beginning, I feel this practice is on the increase, perhaps I am being a grumpy old man? But I think at best, is highly inconsiderate.  What are the rules? What do others think? 

 

Regards

Although we don't have flagpole, and if we use an awning its always down the day before, it still seems to take us ages to pack up.  We usually aim to leave the site at about 11am, but 99% of the time we'll be after this..

I know what you mean, David. We take our awning down and then re-erect it on another site every 21 nights!

Packing always takes ages, especially as all the awning furniture has to be packed and put away and then re-assembled at the next site, plus the canvas, poles etc. It's a lot of work! Then packing away everything in the caravan, ready for travel. Then setting it all up again at the next site, knowing that after another 21 nights, the whole process has to be repeated!

Do you have to move the caravan off a seasonal pitch, thought it was only the occupants that have to vacate the pitch, if so then surly it would be a lot less stress and heavy work for your wife and yourself to stay at a cheap B&B for 2 nights.

Yes, I think it's the standard for all club sites that have barriers, that the barriers lock between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. However, not all club sites have barriers. Some sites such as Cheltenham Racecourse have no barriers. Other sites require card entry but automatic exit, like Northbrook Farm, whilst others require card entry as well as card exit, like Alderstead Heath.

But you should still i would think have to unplug electricity and take awning down if leaving van,,its one of the downsides of living on the "cheap"
