    Yes you've mentioned this already and I'm not sure what your point is to be honest?

    But as I replied before whether you read them or not you personally agree to abide by them every time you book a club site, and that is what this thread is all about? The set arrival time?

    Personally I'd like to know what I am agreeing to and even more so when paying for a membership fee.

    My point is I don’t need to read rules to know how to behave and respect others. Might just be the way I was brought up.

    I may well have said this before, but as we use a variety of club, private and CL sites we always check the check in times, as they vary greatly. That is jut the way it is, and we adjust our travelling accordingly. I fail to see what the problem is.

    I think the problem is that many don’t do as you do and just turn up when they like. Sometimes 5 / 10 minutes early, other times an hour or more.

    So if you haven't read them how did you know it was a 1pm arrival time? undecided 

    It's still irrelevant what you do as it's what others do that we're talking about and as said it's what one/they agree to which is more important I would say?

    But good to know you stick to the set arrival time, so do I.

    As a point of fact only, I've been a member for coming up to 23 years next month and it was always 12:00 till this year and never known outfits arriving (officially) during the morning.

    Was it 12 o clock at Coniston Park Copice. God job I could never get anywhere for 12:00 or I might have got in trouble. But there again I might have not judging by the times some were allowed to arrive. Officially or not.

    Agree with the decision to turn early arrivals back. Living near the club’s site at Rowntree Park, York witness outfits arriving very early and parking up on the nearby public roads. These are not people who have misjudged their journey times. (A bit like the parking outside schools with parents getting there early so they can bag the parking place next to the school entrance.)

    Here’s a useful link for anyone who hasn’t yet found it

    https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/uk-holidays/useful-information/before-you-travel/

    It lists up to date information about the Sites where something might affect people’s journey, arrival, and actual stay. Includes nearby events, maintenance work, partial closures, and at the very top of the page, the new 1pm earliest arrival time for all sites. This link is on every Site web page I think, so those using the website to book, can check for up to date information.

    Hopefully, a glance at this page might pre empt a few of the issues, and avoid upset.

    I booked a few weeks ago for Knaresborough and I received an e-mail with information about the site, including information which told me that at present, the bar/bistro was only available for take aways meals.

    Thank you everyone for your feedback. The earliest arrival time at most campsites is now 1pm. This is to allow our site teams to get your pitch ready and avoid congestion for members leaving their pitch. Please make sure you factor into your journey a location where you can park and rest if you think you may arrive at the campsite prior to 1pm. For the most up to date arrival times, please check the individual campsite webpage and the before you travel information here.

    We are sending texts to members before they travel to advise them of the 1pm arrival time to avoid disappointment when arriving early and we have also used other channels to communicate this including in the Club magazine. 

    As we have received numerous reports on this discussion where the conversations have contravened our Community Guidelines, I am closing this discussion but thank you everyone for your feedback.
