Arrival & Departure Times

We have a lot of members who will pay for a holiday with the intention of leaving the day before they are due depart. They can then leave at whenever time they want. So not everybody is a late departure....

We have done this in the past, to get the afternoon/evening. Late departures are not as black and white as people who arrive too early as there is provision in the rules for people to ask for a late departure. There is no provision in the rules for early
arrival although some people seem to feel they should have the right to special arrangements with the warden so they can arrive early0 -

have to agree there have been times when we have been close to home and decided to leave a day early, but make use of the day before we go isnt this one of the beauties of the flexibilities of club sites? after all we have paid for the pitch so our choice,and
in reallity as we have paid for pitch it should be ours untill 12 the following day,what happens if we decide to come back for breakfast?0 -
Would you get a rebate for when you can't get on site until 7 or 8 on arrival day?
Charge for pitches by the hour then? Dont shout about it. It's wacky enough for the CC to see it as a great way forward.

...... Why can't people go at the right time
There could have been a multitude of reasons why he/she was a bit late leaving ....
Possibly be so but you do seem to find that it seems to be the same people who suffer from the 'multitude of reasons' regularly - for being too early, too late off, too noisy, whatever it is it does tend to be the same people quite often.

If by that you mean me

We arrived at Ayr Craigie gardens today at 4.00pm, never saw another arrival or leaver, bliss and a decent pitch as well. Why the rush to be there on or near time
I'm just so laid back I'm at risk of falling over when on my hols Never looked at another and thought I wish I had that one, its so regimented they all look the same

Just a comment that it seems to be the same people who always have the 'problem' that means they 'have' to arrive early, and leave late, and have the pitch that will accomodate a dozen people or whatever other special treatment they need whilst on
site. I could name some people on here but I wont as I will probably get booted off if I do!0 -

Actual time of departure is not the point, making arrival time 13:00 serves no purpose to members, adequate passing places should be the priority.
How could the club create placing places if they don't own the road coming to the site?..At Cirencester the road is full of potholes and narrow in places for all of its 300 metres, yet it is owned by Cirencester college.......

Write your comments here...And that is possibly the same for a lot of sites in the UK the problem of access road ownership Black Knowl has a long access road in poor condition that is owened by by New forest National park

Sadly we live in a world of impatient people who think they are exempt from rules, these would probably be the first to moan if the toilet blocks were not cleaned to scratch, due to the wardens being rushed to get back to reception ready for the early arrivals
onslaught. As regards the 12 o'clock departure time why not pay for the extra day then leave when you like!0 -
With technology becoming cheaper and cheaper, could a simple traffic light system be installed along the single track entrance road? This would at least ease the situation where motor homes are leaving throughout the day and caravans are arriving.

They have that at Bunree. Whether its possible elsewhere might depend on who owns the land?

At some sites the single track is public highway so this is never going to happen. Daleacres in Kent is a good example - we left there recently and met another van coming the other way at 10.30am - not best pleased to say the least. Just needs people to stick to the rules. And vis the weekend issue why not have a leave before say 4.00pm and arrive after 5.00pm just for Sundays ? So long as you know the times and people stick to them it should work fine.

Fair point but at least it would help some/most ?. Frankly I don't understand how alot of working people can justify owning a caravan if weekends end at noon and the only other time they can use their van is on annual holiday. We are retired so it doesn't
bother us one jot but I think the club could and should do more to accomodate working families.0 -
What do people do when towing on single track B roads?
In my experience such roads e.g in Scotland, will tend to have passing places if they don't and are likley to be busy and or have other traffic that you are not able to easily squeeze past then I for one would avoid them. For example in the Lake District there are many roads that are just not suitable for Caravans.

Or, of course, the club could adopt an open arrival/departure system at reasonable times (say from 10 am to 8 pm), especially where sites have no access problems!
That's fine if the site isn't full but if it is it just won't work.
