Help shape future facilities at UK Club campsites

Tonight……..I am “us”😁 

I have looked around quite a few glamping cabins, and been impressed by the ingenuity and creativeness of most of them. It’s an easy compromise for anyone who has loved caravanning, used to living in a smaller space, but for one reason or another, can no longer tour. We have good friends who use them regularly, as they had to give up their van, and the Club ones mean they can still holiday with their van owning daughter and her OH. Likewise static vans and lodges, both of which we have used and very much enjoyed. I am sure they have similar options overseas, it’s not just a UK thing.

The Club caters very well for those who need a lot of facilities, either through choice or necessity, so such diversification, keeps non touring Members happy, especially as more and more Club Sites are getting this option. It just needs to do more at the other end of the scale now, new touring families and couples, on tight budgets.

Someone has asked if it were beneficial. Well it might have been to the company doing the survey for the Club. It might have been to the managers at HQ

Perhaps the guy at HO that sanctioned the survey has shares in the firm that the club employs to upgrade the shower blocks, and requested that that be the sole direction of said survey?

Rowena, you asked for likes and dislikes.

I would like to be able to pitch in Nose first, Back first and even Across the pitch depending on my other half's' point of view. (I have no choice!)

This would ensure a peaceful stay, from my point of view.

I am fed up with 'pitch to the peg' every time I roll up. Lets have a little more flexibility with slightly larger pitches to accommodate those who prefer to optimise the view from their accommodation.

Oops! What was that big pink thing that just flew past my window?

I'm guessing that larger pitches would mean larger prices!  Larger pitches would possibly result in less pitches overall, and should less pitches mean less income, then an increase in price would possibly be the result... 

I think you can pitch nose in, on some occasions, but I think it is at the discretion of the site staff on any particular site?  I seem to remember there were vans pitched 'the other way around' at Exbridge Lakeside when we visited last summer.  I could be wrong, but I think the site staff told us this when we arrived.... can't exactly remember now.  We had a serviced pitch, and I think that the location of the pitches meant you could get a better view the other way around.  To be honest, we didn't bother, but I guess it's always worth asking..

It would depend if the non facilty site was on mains drainage and the cost of  installation  of drains and water whether the site needed pumps for the waste water 

All add costs to be passed on

Be careful what you wish for! Check out the so called Premium pitch that’s been put in at Moreton in Marsh! It’s supposed to be surrounded by privacy bushes (they’ve planted little more then twigs) and to be landscaped, well when the bare soil and a sprinkling of seed eventually comes through, it might make it? No picnic table and a goldfish bowl position on a pitch that most of the site has to drive or walk past. Looks like it’s just short of £50 per night for 2 adults at the mo! 😬

Mayhap a team of consultants should’ve been engaged rather than Tina from accounts because she likes gardening🤷🏻‍♂️🙁
