What changes would you make ?

BTW - The late checkout already exists I believe, it called paying for an extra 

It does CS, but is a bit excessive for someone who wants to stay until 2pm ish. Sites often allow late checkout, but you have to ask at reception on your last day. For us late risers, getting up / getting dressed and going to ask at 9am really defeats the object of the late checkout. It always makes me laugh, because I doubt the club is inundated with bookings for Sunday arrival, made between 5pm the night before and 9am the next morning, and whenever I leave a site there are invariably lots of empty pitches !!

One site we regularly use allows late checkouts if you ask last thing the day before, and requests a donation for air ambulance instead of a charge, which I think is pretty good really.

Oh forgot one, more sites open all year?

yes I know and agree with you fully, hence my smile face at the end of my line about it. I have always 'championed' the late checkout over the 10000 pages of the lame lamented SD thread. Some wardens are good about it and some have a blanket 'all departures by 12' sign. Now I don't need one being retired but when working used to always book that extra night as the only sure fire way of getting one to make the most of my Sundays before that dreaded Monday.

So, yes bring in a LD fee.

Interesting thread. I suppose the answers might depend on how you generally plan your time away. We might have a rough idea of what we want to do but rarely book more than four weeks ahead so I am not sure a rolling system would have any beneficial effect on us. Although I would be interested to know how people think it would work?

One thing that might be worth consideration, I put it no stronger than that, is to limit the ability to have more than two outstanding bookings for the same site. This might address the, real or imagined, concerns about block bookings?

I really like the rolling booking system, varied pitch pricing and choice (where available) with the other club so would be happy to see it with CAMC.

 

I think a rolling system would be impractical without deposits which would also have a braking effect on those real or imagined block bookings.

Because ?

That should free up some pitches David. Probably around 75 less nights from me a year as I would simply use other sites after making 3 bookings.

 

Yes I agree about deposits, it appears to work with the other club and does make you think rather than speculate before you book.

However, personally I have the benefit at present of two systems, both slightly different and both open for improvement.
