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?)

If there are free pitches on the day you are due to depart, then you can stay on site until 4pm without further charges. However, this must be cleared by the wardens at all times. If the site is full and there are 20 departing and 20 arriving then 12 noon is a strict rule to be adhered to!

I did stay on one site and wanting to catch a ferry asked if I could stay. I was told the site was full but they checked their sheet for arrivals times and found several not expecting to be there until after four. On that basis they said I could stop until three although in fact two was fine for us.

It is wardens discretion though and not all mighty be that generous.

When I go for a week on site I usually like to travel to site on a Sunday, much quieter on the roads etc. If as you require, you keep the pitch all day, what are 'us weekers' supposed to do, sit outside the site until it is convenient for you to go? As mentioned earlier, you can always pay for the Sunday night and then leave when you want, it's your choice.

If everybody starts paying for the Sunday night and leaving early then you may not get a pitch for your week.

Best to leave it as it is with wardens allowing late stats if circumstances allow. It's in the rules after all

Broadside- Have you actually turned upon a Sunday and found no pitch? If it was going to be that busy the warden would have made the 12 noon compulsory

No, but you miss the point, if it was a free for all, ie leave when they want, then obviously there would be few pitches available.
