Saving a pitch as you are booking in

If they won’t move then just go and see the warden. Like the park your car on the pitch bit though.

I really don’t see an amicable solution even if you involve the wardens. Yes, the rightful conclusion may just be concluded but all involved people will be vexed, angered, plain disappointed or wallowing in their success! Is it worth it? Possibly so! All for the sake of one selfish arriver!

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

What I put are just suggestions. Have to admit though if I really wanted the pitch I would have it. But to be honest there are not many pitches on a caravan club site that good unless you are in a really scenic area.

When you say you would ‘have it’ what do you mean, davetommo?😳 I trust you don’t mean ‘tread all over’ those nice folk that were there before you, surely not fellow member! 🥹

Done the same, once, many years ago, to be told the same, TW. Wardens won't let you take a pitch on booking in, if there are others looking for pitches.  Must admit, that makes sense.

I would just start to reverse onto the pitch. If the person wouldn’t move then I would stop reversing till they moved. Bare in mind I would be blocking the road while waiting.

I think it must vary by site and by wardens, we've certainly done it a fair number of times I but just on those sites we've been to a lot. 

Obviously if there was already an outfit on it, we'd come back with the fob but that never happened at all.
