New rule regard'g caravan parking either way round

If you like your privacy,then perhaps caravaning is not for you ,

It’s not a new rule, it has been the case since before we joined in 2005. Although I believe there were a few sites where it wasn’t permitted. I assume you would have those with continental vans always put them on hitch first. Difficult if they don’t have a power mover.  Our MH is a continental design and although we normally put it on nose first, as it generally aids levelling. On those pitches that slope the other way, we welcome the fact we are able to reverse on and don’t have an issue in facing our neighbours.

It's not a new rule, I can't recall exactly but certainly five years old plus, or even 10?

It doesn't bother me, in fact hasn't bothered me, in the slightest. With respect I can't understand this privacy angle (pun intended) at all but if it's important enough for you then the only thing is to avoid club sites as it's very unlikely it will change nor are privacy hedges going to spring up. At least on club sites you'll be at least 3m from some part of your neighbours and 6m from their outfit.

Having said that it's often posted that non club sites are even less rule bound in regards to pitching and it might be worse somewhere else. You would have to find a site that fitted your requirements somehow?

I can't see what you are on about from your description.  With so many caravans, especially motor caravans, having doors on what some consider the "wrong" side there is no way any one individual can avoid having to look at the caravan next to them - unless, perhaps, you persuade the Club to arrange sites so that caravans are pitched nose-to-tail.

The C&CC have the same policy, so they won’t be an option for the OP. As you get conducted to your pitch, it’s not unusual to be advised on positioning if it’s overcast, such as if you want morning sun reverse in, evening front in.

Hello E9, I have seen-‘vertical privacy screens’ 4 metres x 2 metres. On sites in use so they are out there. Check on line & you will find them. I perfectly understand your need for privacy, caravanning is not just for those who want to holiday cheek by jowl with their neighbours. Good luck with your search & don’t give up on the hobby you love👍🏻

We nearly bought a Carlight Caravan back in the 1990’s. That had two doors, one either side. Mind blowing for some if we had and took it to a Club Site. Nowadays with the MH, it all depends which is the flattest, drive in, or reverse in. 

While parking a certain way around is up to the individual, it's often the case that, due to the position of the peg, there is more space on one particular side and to 'enjoy' that space, it make sense to have your door on that side...

deciding to go nose in with a continental van (MH or caravan) usually achieves this....
