We are staying on CMC site and am seeing something I’ve not come across before - at least not in such numbers: people have arrived yesterday and gone onto a pitch but this morning are moving to different pitch! Is this peculiar to this site - Black Knowl -  or does it happen a lot and I’ve not noticed before.  Can’t quite grasp why they didn’t settle on the initial choice or if they think they will get more choice today arrive a day later & save a pitch fee.

You’ve obviously never been to Trewethett Farm surprised

Who knows why they move and who cares?

We used a different pitch each night on one CL we visited, and done similar oh a Club Site in Winter! Variety is the spice of life!laughing

Bit pointless speculating why people do what they do without asking them.

Maybe they discovered they were next to a yapping dog or a family with noisy kids.  Just saying. sealedundecided

We have changed pitches where we are now ,as when we arrived the pitch we went on was severely damaged by incosiderate groundsheet use

Bunree, the other week, was like musical chairs in the mornings with motorhomes moving to the loch side pitches as the became available.

people like different pitches and their positions on a site, if they are staying short term it may not matter, if it's longer then moving pitch is a small effort to get what you want.

It's up to them if they want to change pitches.  I guess the big question is, if you change pitches, should you be allowed to change before 12 o'clock.  If so, would this give you an unfair advantage over anyone arriving that day who otherwise would not be able to get on site that early. 😀😀 😉

Could be that the occupants of the pitch was one of those that the site staff allowed to stay on "For Free" in the afternoon.  When they eventually vacate the "For Free" pitch, I see no reason why another customer can't swap to that pitch. (A doddle if it's a Motorhome) if they prefer that one.

We quite often "stay for a free afternoon", on our last day. Means we can take our time packing up, walking dogs, having a bite of lunch before heading off. Easy and perfectly acceptable if you ask owners or Site Wardens. In Winter, when there's only a couple of you on site.smile
