New booking system with deposits

I don’t believe I have. I’ve just said we book ahead in this country because it suits us.

The comment wasn't aimed at you Steve but I can see why you thought so.

There is a particular site we like in Cornwall that is central to the places we like to go, we have a caravan and find it easy to stay in a central location for 2-weeks and use the car to visit any location so I will book this months in advance  if left until later its very difficult to get the time span we require there will usually be 1 or 2 days blocked, motorhomes usually dont stay for long periods its a totally different holiday experience so perhaps it's not so important to book well in advance, I would think there's a great number of caravanners do the same, I believe this will happen more when the choice of pitches has to be made.

I'm amused (well that's not quite the correct description of my reaction) when folk try to question or belittle what others choose to do in booking and touring! Booking well in advance suits many folk and good luck to them in making certain they get exactly what they want for, in many cases, hard earned and rare breaks from busy lives.

We don't tour in a van any more, can come down to our static at the drop of a hat (we're here right now, in fact). But we also take other forms of holiday and have just booked 2 cottages for next April/May, one for a charity event which we take part in regularly and the other because it's in a place we want to visit and available to make a two week stay away. (Oh, and we've had to pay a deposit for both and the balance will be due 6 weeks before we go.) Silly us! 

ET,    Some people like booking well in advance, others don't 

We booked our flights to Australia yesterday - leaving in 2 months.   

we like to book early as we stay for 2 or 3 weeks at 0ne site if we don't book early we will not get our time at the site we won't due to people booking 2 or 3 nights. There should be a minumum of 7 nights mostly for motorhomes 

A screenshot of a Facebook post (non official CAMC group). Probably as true as any other rumours.

I think you posted that before but it’s no more real now than then.

Why 7 nights and why MHs? I cannot see the difference between 2 folk booking 3 and 4 nights sequentially and another booking the whole 7 nights irrespective of their units.

You are quite entitled to book early if that’s what suits you but please don’t try to make the rest of us change to accommodate your needs.

Ferry Meadows hardstandings were flooded when we were there. Mind, the clue’s in the name really🤣🤣 Six inch deep at the worst, but it all soaked away overnight. That was the HS side only. I think there was a lake where the grass pitches usually are over other side😁
