Are we being unreasonable??

To be honest It looks like a normal club site to me, large parking bays in the middle of a field, just empty, which is what I'd expect of mid to late November.

It’s empty because it’s ‘closed’ to everyone else. The other side of the site is quite busy.

You don't say if you still had a serviced pitch but assuming you did, with no noisy vanners and loads of space, I see it as a bonus.

My view would depend on whether the toilet block on that section of the site is open. That’s a fair way from the service pitches you are on but the one on the old part of the site is even further. Even if only used for some washing up it’s a fair old hike. The service pitches you were expecting to be on are fairly close to the toilet block and it’s entirely possible someone might have picked one with that in mind. Personally I wouldn’t have any problem with the view, but  it’s  very open if there is any wind and would have preferred to be on the old part. If that is the norm at this time of year I would have expected to be informed and at the minimum given the option of changing pitch type with no financial losses.

I'm sorry I don't see what the issue is? It appears that the only thing you're missing out on is:

have a chat and socialise with other members. Not a lot of chance of that here!

Well why not? There are caravans near to you and I assume in the other parts of the site.

And the views? I've been to Bridlington and I can't remember any (sea) views from the site other than the site itself and the sea is a mile away?

I don't think the club has done anything remotely incorrect, it has never promised full sites and people to chat to and have given you exactly want you booked, assuming you got a service pitch.

Personally I'd be very happy to have all that space to myself.

Cayton Village looked like that last week for us, and that was in the open part! Most outfits were clustered round the loo block, while we were on outer fringes. Other than one person out walking a dog up to dog walk, we didn’t actually speak to anyone else. Folks were either out or huddled inside watching TV.

I think it’s your decision really. Which is most important to you, a service pitch, or a bit of a chat. We only sleep on the sites to be honest, so we would count such splendid isolation as a bonus, I’d happily have gone on the empty upper site at CV last week, but we were there to see our friends in a Glamper. 

Not much help I’m sorry.

Am I also missing the point here? What view are you missing from where you expected to be and if that part of the site is closed surely anybody you might be socialising with is also parked in the same area as you are? Clarification please

I really can't see the issue here. I was expecting photos of JCB's and blokes in hard hats

Quick answer to the question in the title of the thread, in my opinion it's a Yes.

The part of the site will look better when Monty Don and a landscaping team arrive to deliver beauty treatment - a few thousand bulbs randomly  spread, clumps of  flowering shrubs and rose bushes and so on..  perhaps even a tree or two. Can the wardens give any guidance when that might start?
