Arrival & Departure Times

It must be very disconcerting to bust a gut to arrive early on a site, browbeat the warder into allowing you on site early so you can get all your stuff set up on the best pitch only to find the next day that a much better pitch becomes available at 12:30pm
and you miss it because it is taken by someone arriving within the rules.0 -

Just put a £10 surcharge on anyone who arrives early
....and a £25 surcharge on anyone who leaves after
Ian ..Never give up trying to change the rules without going through the democratic process will you ? It gives the majority of members who post on here a bit of comedy reading

Write your comments here...While admiring your idea Ian, the rules already allow for those who want to stay late on their departure day and leave as late as they like. --- they just have to put their hands in their pocket and pay for a further night.
Its easy , fair and great for the CC's site income.
I do like a fine for arriving early but it should be at least 25 pounds. Perhaps the CC might consider this as during next year.

Penalties only tend to work if they are universal. Like car parking fines. You may go somewhere else to park, but it will still have a penalty system. There is less than 0% chance of the CC introducing any form of penalties. They have no interest in driving
business elsewhere. They will just continue to let offenders in early and we will continue to moan about it. However, the offenders will continue using CC sites, those that stick to the rules will continue to use them, and the CC will be happy.0 -
Well, I'm sure that one or two folk are happy to let this thread run and run, just like Sunday Departures. So why not just summarise by referring to pages 272 and 275 of the current handbook?
Hopefully everyone who's a member does have a copy of that!
That's it from me - enjoy the rest of the thread!

Welcome back, K!
Yes, of course you are correct. The facility to stay late is of course already there, as you stay. Provided there is availabilty, pay for the extra night and stay right up to 12 the next day.
What a great system!

The offenders are very much aware of the rules. They also know that in most cases, if they totally ignore them, they will be let in early. ??
Yes, same with the late stayers.......we really need the wardens to get on and collect the extra night's fees from all those wanting to stay after 12.

We? Speak for yourself.

I love the site we are currently on in France.
If you arrive before 12.00 then there is no problem getting on but you pay for an extra day. You get an individual code to operate the inward and outward barriers but it stops working at 12.00 on the day of departure, when you have to pay for another day.
If in high season they come around the night before to remind you to leave! If you arrive in high season before 12.00 the you're left to stew in the hot sun until 14.30 when the office opens. Lunch comes first, second and third in France.Sounds like a much more effective system than the half baked CC one.

Not sure a whole days fees is right but a lower amount for arriving early or leaving late seems fair to me although the sites where access means these are not possible need different rules.

Nope, we never keep our handbook. Its probably pointless to refer to the rule anyway as wardens seem to be selective about which ones they enforce so you can probably ignore virtually all of them anyway....

Caravan arrived at reception here on Sutton-on-Sea site at 11.05am. Told to wait.
Get those warden's names ET - we can give them a big thumbs up on here :-)

The outfit were let onto the site at 11.40am. That appeared to be because another caravan had arrived behind them and there is not much stacking room and the road adjacentvto the site is probably only 4 metres wide.

Leaving here today (solo) at 11.44 am, there was a car+ caravan parked outside reception, almost blocking our exit, certainly if we had been leaving with our outfit, we would not have got past them.
Coming then to the road, there was a fairly large MH parked exactly opposite the entrance, presumably since there was no room for him to pull into the site entrance
Visibility of the not-very-wide road past the site is a bit hindered by walls and shrubs, and as I edged out for a better view, a car flew past almost hitting us. He had of course had to pull over onto our side of the road to get past the parked MH.
Quite frightening!

I trust those wardens apply the same vigour to getting people off site by 12 as well?
No, thought not......
Write your comments here...Surely CC wardens apply ALL CC site rules without fear or favour.
I would like to think so
