Minimum night booking

That’s my gripe with C&CC as well. It flies in the face of the ethos of touring☹️.

This year the CLs may do well despite that restriction but in future they could be glad to see us one or two night stayers if we feel willing to give them a second chance. The customer is king although sometimes you'd not think so.

Actually, I have some sympathy for CL and CS owners doing this. Especially of late, there seems to be an increase in the incidence of ‘no shows’ - certainly on the sites we have been using since 4 July. Even when deposits have been taken (and this isn’t always the case), some people don’t even have the decency to let the owner know they’ve changed their mind.

Must be very frustrating for someone trying to run a business on marginal profits.

It may well be that the CL/CS owners are now realising that most people want a "few days" away and the most popular periods are weekends ,which as posted on here numerous times,  that it is "impossible?" to get on to sites because one night is not available

Thats easy to work around especially as it only applies in peak periods and weekends and even then its only 2 nights at the majority of sites. Only at 7 sites is it more than 2 nights minimum and even then it is only in peak periods.

And some still complain the cc system is "difficult to work with"

It is when you cannot even get a booking. So you just go elsewhere as you would if you encounter minimum night bookings. For a single night stop over in the UK I wouldn't even consider full fat sites/pitches.

You are correct as I phoned to book a CL near Garstang in late July, just prior to my visit.  I didn't pay a deposit as I am not sure how to pay via bank transfer by phone or internet so asked if I could pay when I got there, which he said was ok then rang me later to make sure that I was going to turn up. He told me that quite a few people on Facebook have mentioned that they book the same dates at more than one site at the same time, decide which one to go to then just don't bother to turn up at the other site or sites that they have booked.  I HAVE seen a few CLs which state a minimum of 2 or 3 nights (usually at bank holiday) but not many.

Apart from long journeys   ,not many in uk ,why would a few want one night stays

A few years ago now i was advised that the 1200 arr time on club sites had reduced the one night weekenders, who would arrive between 0900-1000 on a Saturday and expect to leave late on a Sunday 

Cls/CSs may be experiencing the problem that has made a min two night stays
