The Caravan Club lose the Plot (pitch)

On arrival we were welcomed to the largest campsite in the network and told that there were plenty of pitches available. Our hopes were soon dashed when we found that many pitches were not available to us as we were over six metres long and not disabled. This site appeared to have more disabled pitches than the rest of the network put together. We quick realised that only grass pitches were free and most of those were muddy. We found what we thought was the best pitch available but the doormat disappeared into the mud after a few hours.  A couple with a caravan turned up the next day on the pitch next to us, myself and two other helpers managed to get his caravan sited despite the mud but when he went to park his car it went in up to its axles. The wardens said they couldn't tow him out do to Health and Safety and insurance issues but would come to see what they could do to help. If this is the case that when you get stuck on a pitch the Caravan Club can not tow you out, if that's the only to free yourself, then the Caravan Club are selling pitches that are unfit for purpose. Regarding the issue of so many disabled pitches we found out that what you have to do is go back to reception and plead your case that you don't like grass pitches and then you will be given of the hard standing pitches used for the disabled right next to the toilet block' Another issue is that when we left at about 1030hrs new arrivals were turning up, We have now found that this happens on every site we have been to because the Caravan Club Head Office have told wardens to let them in. If only the CC knew the problems that this caused. I suspect that the people who break the rules and turn up early are the same people who break the speed limit and pass me on the motorway.
