If you could, what five changes would you make to the clubs rules, procedures, systems etc.
Mine would be
1) book 12 months ahead on a rolling basis
2) be able to book late checkout
3) pitch anyway on your pitch, nose in, sideways etc
4) never have all toilet blocks closed at same time for cleaning
5) more full service pitches
no moaning about rules are rules, you signed up etc, I just wondered if there were any common
threads.
Posted on 18/01/2018 20:13 byI spend 120 nights a year on a variety of commercial sites and have done for the last 20 years and I dont meet these people who need "a great deal of supervision" I think I would look for another hobby if I regularly did . In that time I have moved on twice because of the neighbors. Does this really happen on club sites?

In the 35 years we have been using Club sites I can only remember one instance when we have moved sites. We were staying at Pembrey Country Park, long before it was modernised. It was so crowded we found we had no privacy. We moved to the Gowerton which was much quieter. The wardens at Pembrey were really understanding, they booked a pitch for us and gave us a refund. (it was a long time ago!)
David I don't know how many sites you have stayed on abroad as I know you tend to stay for much longer in one place than we do but we must have stayed at in excess of 200 different sites. Whilst it's not a common experience I have had many more instances of bad neighbours abroad which from time to time has either shortened our stay on a site caused us to move pitch. Most of those problems have been on very busy sites at peak time so I suppose the odds are that the risk is greater at those times. Club site pitches are quite spacious which tends to cut out any problems but a lot of Continental site in popular places the pitches can be quite tight so there is a greater risk that something on a larger pitch would be ignored tends to be annoying on a smaller pitch.

You can still move to another CC site in just the same way without penalty

I think we will have to differ about CAMC pitches being spacious in comparison to continental sites. I have not felt pitches were cramped at all apart from maybe Germany and Italy where we have not spent a lot of time, the pitches we spent the most time on this year in Spain Portugal and Croatia would comfortably swallowed at least 2 standard club pitches.
