New Site Booking System

It will be interesting to see if the system will allow this!

Just don't turn up early or at the earliest arrival time and it should not be a problem.

I don't think anyone knows that yet? Even now, before the changes, some busy sites will check your booking without getting out of your car/motorhome and ask you to go and find a pitch and return to reception to pay. Obviously in the future under the new system most will have paid the day before but will need to go back to reception to collect a barrier fob or perhaps a toilet key/code for the few sites that have that. I suppose it depends whether you have to return to reception immediately you have put the unit of the chosen pitch or whether you can fully set up before but I suspect the requirement will be to let reception know as soon as possible? One could imagine that in the future the site staff could scan your membership card and vehicle registration  number and that would be it. Any security fobs could be handed out at the same time. Perhaps I am getting too far ahead of myself

Sadly the same queues are still going to be seen at official “site arrival” times. It might even be worse as even pre payers will be desperate to get either the perfect grass pitch, or the perfect HS pitch. I said earlier in thread that I thought I had seen plans for a “third Lane” into Site for new development at Lady Margaret Park. 

Only two, third is to get out, then stop to return barrier card I suppose.

Most club sites have a receptical to put your barrier card,/fob into near exit barrier 

Quite a few sites do have an "arrivals" barrier lane and a "residents" barrier lane, makes sense.     The barrier at LMP is quite a bit further into the site at present.  Away from the congested arrivals area.  Even so, the narrow access lane can get blocked by the rush hour arrivals queuing.

You can't really  bypass checking in on any sites (except some CLs where everything is sorted beforehand) even on pre-paid sites like the C&CC system. Someone has to book you in, hand over site details, paperwork etc but you are spared going in to the office or going  back to the office as someone keeps an eye on the pitch you have chosen and relays this to the office. After that the site office knows what is available. At present with CAMC it very much depends on people returning to the ofiice with their pitch number and often no-one marks up pitches which are available. Hopefully this system will be improved? 

 There won't be any bypassing the check in. Prepayment will just make it a bit swifter. If you just drove in how would we know who's on site and where and when? We are working on other ways to get everyone in in a timely fashion

It won't.
