Disappointing

We stayed at Moreton in the Marsh between 15th to 19th April.  The first thing to say is that I have every sympathy with the site wardens in trying to keep the site looking presentable in the wet weather we experienced during our stay, including overnight snow. Having said that, the pitches are looking quite tired and in need of refurbishing with a fresh layer of shingle. Because the pitches are so small, if you have an awning erected, your car has to be parked in front of the caravan . This makes the general appearance of the site very cluttered and scruffy. If I wanted to sit looking at my car, I might as well park up in my garage. We didn't have an awning on this occasion, but because the pitches are so small, when my car was parked alongside the caravan, ie where the awning would be,  I couldn't help but park partly on the very wet grass surrounding the hard standing pitch, resulting in further damage to the grass. A further problem as a result of the narrow pitches, was that when people parked in front of their vans, by necessity, unless they had vehicles that could go sideways, they couldn't fail but to run over the corners of the grass areas surrounding the hard standing area. As previously said, this generally made areas of the site into a scruffy quagmire, when if the pitches were of sufficient width the grass areas could be totally avoided. I cannot understand why the club make hard standing pitches so narrow, unless it is to maximise revenue by squashing the vans in. I know there are fire regulations to insure a certain spacing between vans, but why make this a minimum spacing.  Let's spread out a bit, save the grass areas and generally make life on site a more pleasant experience for all rather than turning the roads into a car park.  As I said at the start, my comments are in no way a criticism of the site team.  I think their job is made unnecessarily difficult due to the site layout, in particular the narrow pitches. I would love to hear from the club as to why we are all so squashed in!!!
