Question!!! Why and Who made the decision to install static accommodation units on Club site's.Surely these sites are provided for members who take to the road in their own funded vehicles,why are we now being asked to fund the life style of these "Static Dwellers".Are these Static Units really for the use of friends and family? If so why is their a 10percent discount for members.No they will be rented out to people who have not the slightest interest in our way of life.If friends or family want to experience caravaning and motorhoming their is always the opportunity to hire.I would be pleased to be enlightened on what the perceived benifits are to the caravan and motorhome club member A further point is that the number of pitches available to members will be reduced this is especially important at peek periods.A large area at Coniston Park Coppice has been allocated to these Static Units complete with their veranda decking.We members are funding this cost and will not derive any benifit.It is time to stop this Insidious Development.

Static caravans equals troublesome people. We will not under any circumstances stay on a site that has static caravans. A lot of club members find it acceptable to to pitch up with their mates and have a drunken night of noise for two weeks, static caravans make it even worse.

Drunken louts every night. Lovely. Oh well, at least it will earn the club money at the expense of those that have paid into it for many years.

As faras I can see there are 9 sites affected by pods or glamping but no idea about damned yurts

"Static caravans equals troublesome people."

That’s rather a sweeping statement, DS3. Many of us have used statics and we have a few static owners on this forum. No doubt they'll be pleased to read that.

I have rarely experienced loud groups on CC sites. At most twice that I can recall in over 1,000 CC site nights in the last 10 years. And that was not really that loud.

Of all that arguments against these pods that is the most illogical and wrong I could think of.

I'm not sure what club sites you have stayed on but in 19 years of using them I have never experienced drunken night of noise for two weeks.

I'm starting to wonder if National Rant Week has come around unexpectedly! There are some bonza moans and groans across a few threads tonight! I just hope the Patron Saint of Camping pitches me well away from such miserable grunts! Preferably in a Pod!

PS, Stano liked his own post, so that's -1!

On Park Coppice, according to my maths, less than 1% of all available pitches were pods. What is it today? Hardly significant me thinks in the grand scheme of things.

I'm guessing your post was a wind-up DS3

The majority of sites in Germany have semi permanent static vans, usually more than touring pitches and I can say that those we have stayed on have never been 'full of drunken louts' etc.. At silence time the quiet descends and peace reigns

Book a late escape

There's still availability at many popular UK Club campsites - find your perfect pitch today for a last minute trip!
