Saving a pitch as you are booking in

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.

Seems to me that a lot of people’s blood pressure must be raised when going to camp sites ,with all of this “ rule breaking “ . Me ,I just book in and find whatever pitch is vacant ,go back to the office and get on with my holiday ,I don’t care what other people are doing

Personally I can't see how that circumvents the fair system if the wardens allow it. Who am I not being being fair to? Actually you could say as I know the site I have an advantage and would go straight to my chosen area before anyone else anyway, is that fair?

Totally agree. When we visit Lower Wensleydale we prefer the upper level that can be accessed without driving right round. On our last visit it was fairly full, the MH in front of us set off round the circuit and we took the direct route. They arrived slightly later, unfortunately we had taken the last pitch.

Another scenario. On several occasions my OH wanders off with our MH using this pitch sign whilst I fill with water. Anyone see her putting it on a pitch might think we had jumped the gun, however, we have already paid and are through the barrier. It seems a much more sensible approach than driving round, finding a pitch, then driving round again to fill with water.

Hi the unit behind us was a caravan, I can see the reason if a motorhome places a sign on whilst filling up etc but in this case it was a caravan.

I find that unlikely.  

All the serviced pitches to be look pretty similar to access. 

 Also, if a disabled member wants to be near the facilities, the correct thing to do is to ring the site ahead of the booking and make the request.

Then there is the fact that the OP booked in ahead of the "pitch reserver", and had also booked a serviced pitch so the warden would not know which pitch they had taken and which was left.
