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?)

Hells teeth, how many times did the wheel get invented?

Ask the Wardens at time of arrival, see how busy site is. If answer is busy, then either book for the Sunday night and leave as late as you want, or forget it, site is busy, you will have to leave at 12 noon.

If site is not busy, then ask again on the Sunday you want just get an update and if ok leave before 4pm at no charge. Don't expect to do this at busy times or on very busy sites.

If this doesn't suit, then either use a less busy site, use a CL, use a private site, take the van with you and find a big parking space, or fully admit defeat, sell the van and buy a motorhome. That way you can make the very most of the time the Club boots you off, and whenever you decide to arrive home. This is also very do-able in a caravan providing you are an organised, not overly fussy individual!

We know, we have done it for last thirty years. (Smiley, smiley!)
