I’ve heard of a few people who have received texts just before their booking start dates reminding them of the 1300 arrival time. I’m told the wording makes it clear they will be turned away if they arrive early. This is in addition to the usual booking reminder emails.
I’m wondering if CAMC is taking steps to curb early arrivals. Has anyone here received a text?
Posted on 02/08/2022 18:24 by Tintenter100Well I've stayed at quite a few commercial sites and they manage. 🤷♂️
Just had 2 nights at Knaresborough, at the cost of £92.40 (standard pitch). At these prices someone should be available to check you in when you roll up.
I honestly can't believe people think it's a good thing. It's not.
Further more, at no point did they contact us to say the club house was closed, no discount, no apology, just a note on the toilet wall. Caravan club never give a penny back. COVID was is more evidence of that. Camping club extended the membership by 3 months and banged in free WiFi.
I've only been a member for 11 years, but in that time it's got more and more regimented and money grabbing.
Anyway, I'll just use the CLs more and say no more.
Cheers

Evening
Just a point, it took me 15 seconds on the Knaresborough site page to see that the Wanderer bar & kitchen would be closed and what dates. The information is there if you care to look.
The site prices are also there before you book, if you think it's too expensive it's really quite simple, don't book. There are no surprises.
In reality if you think that the club are too regimented and money grabbing then there are other providers.

Posted on 02/08/2022 19:49 by TinwheelerAh, why does that not surprise me!
What's your view of the club's efforts to advise members of the new arrival time then?

My view is those members who turn up early are either sticking their fingers up at the club and doing their own thing ,or they are just plain thick and don’t understand what 1pm means
I don’t need advising as I know not to arrive before 1pm , we usually arrive around 2pm at most sites

Posted on 02/08/2022 19:01 by CornersteadyYou're making it sound as if one is forced to join the club and forced to pay the membership fee. I assume that before joining people will look at the various rules and procedures and decide for themselves if they want to join? If they paid up over £50 without checking then it's their own fault. Or after a year of being treated like they are they wouldn't rejoin? Yet I appear to recall we're in one of the highest rate of people rejoining including your good self.
Does paying a membership fee mean there should be an input? Not for me. Does joining a gym mean that you do. Does joining the AA? Paying a subscription for Netflix? No one simply looks at what is on offer and decide.
