Would you move?

We have moved pitches once during a stay , our choice though,  and pitches were not marked out, we moved down the field when someone left, as the ground was more level.

Good to know that I am not alone in thinking being asked to move mid stay to accommodate a new arrival is not on.

I've been asked to move after I'd taken some kit out but not fully settled or set up, yes I moved as it cost me 10mins of my time. If I'd been set up & settled I'd not have moved & argued my case. The CL I stayed at had a sign-'on arrival choose a pitch & set up, we'll catch up with you eventually' I would have refused if the options after moving had been worse than the one I'd chosen

I would phone the CL and ask about having to move. In our experience it is a very rare requirement. We moved our MH for an owner a while ago, as he was expecting some very inexperienced MH owners, their first time out in a big MH, and the ground wasn't perfect. We were happy to do this, and were asked about doing it at time of booking. We have also moved pitch when on a CL with van for a long stay, again our choice, it made it feel like a new holiday, and rested the pitch we had been on. We travel fairly light, even in caravan, so no major issue. But having to move unexpectedly, with a big set up, would be a polite "no" from us.

When we had the Motorhome I would have moved quite happily, so long as it was to another agreeable pitch, to help others  enjoy their holiday.---- Motorhomers don't stay on their pitches all day anyway, they are out and about enjoying touring the area. Does it really matter which pitch you use when you return. 

As a Caravanner, if I was all set up on my pitch with the awning erected, the answer, if asked to move pitches would be a most definite NO.

We often get asked when booking can I have a certain pitch to watch the ducks or look over to Fife, plus be next to the entrance for an easy reverse, and the answer is always if it is empty help yourself, but no guarantees are ever given.

Would never want to move myself, unless flooded !.

If not informed before then no I don't think I would move, I would want to know the reason why and if they had booked before or after me.

I would move....to another site.

I think a few years ago, There were possibly a lot of larger MHs touring, so would have agreed with you AD. But we seem to see a lot of smaller and mid sized MHs now, motoring up and down, so perhaps a lot more on the move around. Easier to move pitch in a small MH obviously.
