Parking by the peg

Life's too short to worry about pegs and inch perfect pitching, but happily for most we don't do Club Sites in the Summer. Each to there own, ours is a quiet, relaxed CL with lots of room. Preferably half a mile to next door neighbour!
Kindred spirit.

Probably! We go back to a galaxy far, far away, and a long time ago, where pegs were just number of pitch! I can see the need for proper spacing where pitches are tightly packed in, and outfits are so big nowadays, so I appreciate Club are dealing with a
problem as best they can. Just choose not to get involved at busy times, leave our Club Site visits for quiet times. Heaven is a field of mown and collected grass, and an owner that says "oh, pitch where you like......" Bliss....0 -
We recently visited a club site and were allocated a pitch by the lady warden who explained the usual preferred layout and park against peg etc. We pointed out that we had a continental caravan and to comply we would need to park the van nose first, which
she agreed to.so far, so good. The next morning the male warden approached us to ask us to turn the van around as another (club member) camper had complained about the way we were sited. As we were leaving the following morning we declined to do so as we had parked exactly
as the lady warden had indicated.Two comments from this....firstly given that there are more continental vans around the Club needs to apply some common sense to siting visitors.
secondly, to the person who complained, what does it matter to you if all vehicles are not lined up in regimented order? We are on holiday for goodness sake and well within our pitch boundaries, so why not just relax and enjoy your break.
Finally, it is only ever Club sites where we experience this rigid attitude, a lesson perhaps?

K8t, you are fully entitled to park either way around providing the appropriate corner is to the peg to maintain the 6m gap. The exception is the Sandringham site for some obscure reason so, unless you were there, the warden who asked you to move was out
of order.As for the curtain twitcher who complained, words fail me!

..That "rule" at Sandringham ,seems not to apply now as when we were there this year several c/vans and m/vans were nose in

And not before time! It never made sense.

Sure?
hmm, I expect I'll think of something

OMG, common sense has prevailed on a CC Ltd site. The world must be coming to an end.
...You have to remember that are are some who post on here with what seem to be an "agender"if it is thought that they can "score points" with a negative cc post

Motorhomers will continue to park side by side and close together on Aires, car parks and Motorway service stations.

Example.....on a CC site recently, two caravans arrive together and manage to find two adjacent pitches.
One pitches correctly on the peg but appears to be having a problem with his jockey wheel or something.
His mate pitches on completely the wrong side of the peg, right on the edge of his pitch, near to his mate. He then parks his car on the opposite edge of the pitch and proceeds to put up his awning in the gap in the middle.
Warden comes along, may or may not have said something (if he did, it was ignored) but then chats to the other bloke about his jockey wheel.
Now clearly the 'safe spacing' thing must be compromised here. I did wonder whether they had said that jockey-wheel man wasn't using an awning, so there wasn't a spacing issue. But the next day, up goes his awning -
with only the grass strip (2 metres maybe) separating his awning from his mate's caravan.So why didn't the warden just tell the guy on the wrong side of the peg to position his caravan like he was told when he booked in?
Is there a warden on here who could offer an explanation?
The situation above happened on the Broadway site......think about it alongside the thread about a motorhome fire there yesterday.....
