Club site rules
Hello, newbies to camping here.
Can anyone point us in the right direction for finding 'club site rules'? What are they? Is it compulsory to have a fire bucket for example?
We are heading to a CC site end of this month and after reading some posts I feel like I may upset people on site if i dont do it right ha!!
I have 3 children so I will have to keep them in check aswell.
thanks in advance

There should be few terrors for you young whippersnappers
. The major point is pitching to the peg and the site warden
will help you get that right when you book in ! 5 MPH speed limit is self explanatory to someboddy with 3 youngsters.Just remember to take your sense of humour with you. Just one point, are you taking an awning ?? If so we will come & watch,
They are not called "Divorce in a Bag" for nothing !!0 -
Welcome to a great "hobby" "lifestyle" "pastime"
you will find club site rules in the rear of your Handbook /sites directory,and no a fire
bucket is not compulsory,also you will find in the real world of caravanning is far removed from on here,0 -
Many thanks to you both. 5mph sounds good to me and will give us peace of mind with the little ones around.
I will have a look at the handbook before we set off.
Regarding the awning, yes we do have one! haha divorce in a bag indeed, we have had a trial run putting it up and were very glad we opted for the kampa air pro so no fiddly poles involved- thank god!!
I
would be lying if I said it didnt spark a couple of rows though.Sense of humour is well and truly packed, although I will probably have to remind my husband of that several times on our first trip

Dw, as JVB says, the keyboard warriors on here are very few and far between in real life, there may be a few curtain twitchers but do as we do and give them a cheery wave. Don't let the moaners on here put you off your enjoyment of 'vanning. You will be
offered a lot more help than hinderance, don't be afraid to ask, you won't be shunned or laughed at.........Enjoy......0 -
Hello DWG, and welcome. If you click on UKHolidays on the website home page, it will bring up a list of facts on the left hand side of page. Club Site Rules are one of the links. You can also take a look at the specific site leaflet for each site on the
Club Sites page. These only tend to vary a little bit, but are very useful. Should you have any problems, or something you are not sure about, Wardens are very helpful, as are most other visitors. Enjoy yourselves!0 -
Fire extinguisher is a great idea! will purchase this.
thanks for the reassurance Brian! I was slightly worried after reading some comments on posts.
many thanks

As said by others sites are usually really friendly. Fire buckets are rarely seen now but we have two fire extinguishers - one at the back near the bed and one near the door, plus a fire blanket.
Most of the rules are commonsense - pick up after dogs, dont play ball games, drive at less than 5mph on site etc

Hi and welcome to Club Together. If you've got a sense of humour you'll be fine.
I still place a fire bucket at the front of my
van; just habit from long ago and besides, where else can I put my yellow plastic ducks?

Welcome Dan, with young uns you may well want to complain about the 5 mph rule not being obeyed! Some sites insist on bikes being ridden in accordance with direction arrows which makes it a lot safer for all. I nearly ran into a child going the wrong way down a one way system but now I don't assume they will go the right way! I mentioned my near miss to a warden and she said they can't enforce it as the parents say their kids are on holiday And would linch a warden who complains! My children were never on holiday where safety was at stake why ruin a holiday by having an accident? Ball games are fine in the play area of course just not damaging people's vans! Have a great time.

Club Site Rules here
There's also a never ending list of imaginary rules that you'll see on here.
Enjoy your time on site

Don't worry. There's no particular dress code for children. Any pattern material will do.
Welcome to CT.

We take our Fire Bucket to some of the Temporary Holiday Site meets, but to the extinguishers you could add smoke and CO detectors....

DW. . . .1) arrive on site
2) engage common sense
3) enjoy
PS, it's your holiday/break so don't worry about what others think. The reality of life on a CC site bears no comparison to this forum. . . .Thankfully

Don't be too hard on yourself, you are pitching up to enjoy a holiday
Just bring along everything you want for all to enjoy the stay, listen to the Wardens short induction on arrival and pitch up, that's all there is to it.
Reading posts on here will put you off for life, real life ain't like it at all. Pitching up and erecting an Awning, you will laugh, you will cry and the kids will hide in a corner but it will all come right

I sincerely hope that you enjoy your use of the CC, and that your children do too. I started Caravanning with my own children some 35 years ago, they've never tired of outdoor life and take my grandchildren camping now. Rules start on page 681 of the current handbook, how precise is that! You don't need to read them all as long as you act with consideration towards others, which I'm sure you will. The main considerations which I think people look for are; no dog fouling, no ball games/ running through people's pitches, considerate noise levels and keep speed down. I've found fellow vanners to be universally friendly, keen to help and often knowledgable. CC site children are normally well behaved and polite, one young girl recently offered to carry my partner's bucket full of clothes washing water back to the van for him despite the fact that he's got muscles of steel from working as a part time countryside ranger, chainsawing etc. He declined but was able to identify several species of birds for her, from their calls. Awnings get better, but they can stretch patience. Also you might work towards equal rights with chores. Either of you can fetch water, empty the toilet, brew tea (I draw a line at his cooking though)or connect the electricity. Have a great time with your van and your family.
