Now that the caravan club has had a revamp, do they still require people to leave their sites at 12pm on a Sunday ?

As someone who works during the week I want to be able to use a caravan site all Weekend, and leave at say 4pm on a sunday.

I appreciate the sites need to make room for new people arriving, and I can see this being especially important on a Friday and Saturday, but its a real inconvenience for us weekenders ( so much so I'm no longer a member).

I'm sure this suits retired people, but I assume the revamp is to get some new blood in, and that will mean weekend only stayers. Has anything change d in this area.

(If not what do weekend caravans do, just use private sites?)

Good idea. This may be part of the "better" bit the new Club is promising. On the other hand we may find that it isn't . Anyone taking bets?

It is a long time since I was a weekend caravanner. I used some CLs but also club sites. It was often possible to stay until 4pm on a Sunday for me. Perhaps not during school hols. If I wished to stay late on a Sunday though and given decent weather I would go across to the office on the Sunday, pay for a pitch and one adult and leave around 8.30. Leaving at 4pm was, for me, neither fish nor fowl. I see no reason why a similar approach should not be trialled. If a weekender does not book the Sunday then if there is availability on the Sunday morning still let them book a pitch+1 adult (or some sum of money) and leave before 9pm say.

Goodness, whoever would have thought of leaving late on a Sunday! Has it been mentioned before?

HHGB, you may have missed something due to not being a member. It is possible to stay late on any day, at the discretion of the warden, up to 4pm without incurring a charge. Some people prefer to pay for an extra night to guarantee their extended stay and that allows them to leave at any time up until noon the following day.

Check out Rule 15 in the sites directory(page 675 ),which will give an answer to your question
