following on from the early arrival story, which I completely agree with if it says 1pm then it should be 1pm. To add to thus we arrived at the required time at Castleton to find 2 units already their booking in, when we finally were let in there was a caravan outfit behind us didn’t take a great deal of notice until we arrived at the service pitches of which there are 8 ish in on separate area and found a women stood on a pitch saving it for the outfit behind us. Total cheek and disrespect for not only the rules but also fellow members

Was told by wardens at Trewethett a couple of years back that someone should stay on pitch if not you would lose it, this we did, Wife was subjected to some serious intimidation.

That’s the norm at Trewethett because the layout, like Cherry Hinton, doesn’t lend itself to driving around but there is room to park up and walk the site.

More than a couple of years ago Frank, I worked there in 2019 and you were supplied with a piece of brown pipe to put over your desired pitch marker, then report the number to reception where you’re issued with the barrier card. Works well and no intimidation involved.

I can see the queues at B&Q tomorrow with people buying up brown pipe!

All these issues are artificial, being created by the vast majority of UK campsites, including CAMC, having an "earliest" arrival time. Far easier to adopt an "if there's a pitch empty you can come in" policy.

That could only work if the office was manned all day

And how do you get on the majority of sites that these days have security barriers? When staff are out on site or doing the many other jobs that site running requires

It is the same with the ccc ,as we have found and when speaking to their site staff

I don’t care what that club does or this club does - Long years of travelling have taught me that private owners of sites do it better, kindlier, and friendlier.
