Changing pitches after first night

Beginning to understand why people move pitch at Black Knowl, sitting here at the moment with the van being "machine gunned "by acorns .😀😀.

"I just put it down to them being more doddery and less decisive!"

Ooh - witty! 

Used to be known as'The Bunree Shuffle'  some folks cant survive without their awnings though.

 

Agree, too much hassle if you have an awning up, but with a lot of sites being fully and almost fully booked, its easy to end up on an unsuitabe pitch....being free to move to any empty pitch of the same type is one of the good things about THIS club.

My girlfriend and I like to watch the sunset - from outside if possible but from indoors when its too cold.  It is not always possible to get a suitable pitch on arrival, but discussing who is leaving the next day with the wardens lets us choose a first night pitch that will make a move easy. The motor mover goes very gently, so everything can be left where it is - even the Espresso machine.  Just two water containers to roll along and the EHU cable to relocate - job done.

I'm currently on a tour of the UK in a motorhome, stayed at around 16 CAMC sites so far and this happens alot, I do it quite a bit myself if needed for example, if you arrive at 4/5pm you usually get the dog eared pitches of mud or puddles! Or next to the main road for example, so when everyone vacates in a morning by 12pm you have an hour to move, just the way it goes, although it doesnt half confuse (some) of the staff, most Id say 98% just ask you to swap your barrier fob once moved, but just now Ive been told in no uncertain terms its against club rules!? Apparently you cant just move without telling them first, bearing in mind the offices don't open until 1pm for when the newbies arrive! Seems some staff are just pedantic and most dont see an issue 🤣🤣🤣

Surely you talk to the wardens before changing pitches? Apart from being courteous, us campers have no way of knowing what plans site staff may have for the pitches.

I've changed pitches myself but only with the warden's permission.
