What is a Standard Pitch with Awning PR

Latest Activity earlier today had a review of Clumber Park following the recent upgrade. Just because I'm nosy I had a look at the prices. There are numerous pitch types - Hardstanding with Awning, Grass with awning, Standard Pitch with Awning PR and Serviced Pitch with awning.

As I hadn't seen the category Standard Pitch with Awning PR before, the obvious next step is to check this out on the CAMC Choice of Pitches web page.

Lo and behold there are eight different types of pitches mentioned but not one entitled Standard Pitch with Awning PR. After lots of deliberating it maybe that PR refers to plastic reinforcement.  I won't be the only person who wonders what the PR refers to.

It seems to me that this is another example of the Clubs lack of attention to detail.

Before anyone jumps in with "Why are you bothered". Let me say I have never been to Clumber, very unlikely we will ever go to Clumber but that doesn't mean I don't occasionally look at Club sites and laugh at the prices they charge.

Is CAMC a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryanair as it sometimes seems so?

 It is all part of a cunning plan.  The more types of pitch there are on a site the fewer there will be of each type. So a lot less time to be spent by new arrivals driving around and around to find their ideal pitch from what is available when they have a choice of only two or so.

Yet you're in favour of more choices on a different thread?

If Moreton in Marsh “Premium” pitch is anything to go by when we were there around April time, it was directly across from the well used access to the play area and dog field, along with access to the other half of the site and the glamming pods - a total spaghetti junction of activity. The “a hedge between each pitch for privacy” marketing description was twigs of a hopeful hedge and a handful of grass seed sprinkled over bare soil. For £50+ a night at that time, I would not have classed that as a premium experience 🤷‍♀️
