and several other large motorhomes arriving later all had to take grass pitches, it was raining hard and we just knew we were going to have problems getting off the next day as the ground was already soft. Several large hard standing pitches were also occupied by very small campers and caravans. I know they’ve paid for them but there is no way that a grass pitch is worth the same price as an hard standing. The club really does need to allow booking by grass or hard hard standing and price accordingly, I’d much rather pay more and have peace of mind we’re not going to need mud runners to get off a pitch we’ve sunk into. I also know there was a survey on booking on standard pitches that can be hard standing or grass and some people said keep the status quo as they like grass. Well they’re lying because all the hard standings wouldn’t be taken by 12.30 book in if this was the case and if they’re not let them put their money where their mouth is and make booking spilt between grass and hard standing at all sites and I think you’ll see a very different information data set. Best of all scrap grass pitches, most are not fit for purpose and go all hard standing and more fully serviced pitch to reflect the moving market. I will not be returning to Hurn Lane unless I’m guaranteed a hard standing by booking a service pitch Same problem exists at Tewkesbury and I don’t go there if can’t get service or multi surface pitch.
