    OK Tinwheeler, then what would you have?. The rules of the club states that you must clear the pitch by 12noon. We all know that and that rule is common sense. I presume you would like a free for all situation, surely that would lead to utter chaos. As mentioned, there are ways round it, wardens discretion or pay for the Sunday night, that's not difficult!

    Hey, go back and read my first post in this thread. You clearly haven't read it all. I don't know why you have jumped to the conclusion you have without any evidence whatsoever. You seem to assume everyone posting wants open house and stay as long as you like whereas most posters have only stated the available options without pushing for any contentious change. 

    What would would I have? The status quo.

    If it really matters you can of course opt to pay for the extra night. It is what we have done this year. Then we can leave the site when we want to catch our night sailing. There is no risk of a refusal.

    We do it all the time. Every weekend booking we make includes the Sunday night. I do tell the warden we won't be staying on the Sunday when we book in. 

    It does have the unfortunate effect of blocking the pitch out on the booking system so it's not available to others who wish to arrive on a Sunday. Not really something that worries me wink

    If you were booked into a site there would be a pitch for you from 12or1300hrs  see site info on your day of arrival on any caravan club site

    Doesn't worry me either.

    Those people who stay into the afternoon without paying also block the pitch.......so I much prefer that people recognise that they have to pay or what they get, as you do.

    I used to do the same Compass. I would usually not book the Sunday until the day. Usually if I was intending to go late on Sunday I would pay for pitch and one adult and leave just after 8pm. Sometimes I would pay for two adults and 2 kids and go sharpish on Monday morning,

    But it can be £30 for an extra nights stay, and then you only use a few hours of it ! Clearly everyone is richer than me.

    (sorry I'm slow on answering I think becasue I've only done a few posts they need to be approved by a moderator which is taking a day or so)

    Possibly only as late as 12 noon if we don't pay for the extra night. The whole point of paying is to put the decision into our hands.

    Sorry Steve, what I meant was how late could you leave in the evening ( having paid for the night)

    Often I have seen signs up by reception. Sometimes saying departures by 2pm and sometimes 4 pm. Best is to ask in the office. As I said earlier when I did weekends 4pm was of little interest to me. Evening meal was around 6pm with the kids and I preferred to leave closer to 9pm in summer or the Monday morning if within an hours drive.

    In answer to the OP who said 'As someone who works during the week I want to be able to use a caravan site all Weekend, and leave at say 4pm on a sunday. I'm sure this suits retired people, but I assume the revamp is to get some new blood in, and that will mean weekend only stayers. Has anything change d in this area.'

    Firstly most retired folk on here also caravanned whilst working. As a retired person I don't go away for less than around 15 nights and usually far more. When I leave site to head home from my last stop I like to be home before 12. Preferably around 11am. Only asked twice to have a late departure in the last 12 years. One was when the next site was an hours drive nad the national trust site was 1pm arrival and the other when an AS had a 3pm arrival in the book. In the first case I contacted site and was told 12 O'clock would be OK. In the second I contacted and was told come any time after 11am and so never needed to stay later

    As stated previously according to the rule there may be circumstances when a slightly later departure is possible but that decision and granting of is made by the staff, not by us. The only way to guarantee a later departure, particularly when the site is very busy, and leave whenever you like, is to pay for the night you will not use.  This however can also stop others using that empty pitch you leave behind.

    Being a wimp perhaps David, but I would rather grovel I suspect than stick pins into my eyes. Never tried either experience to be truthful.

    There is always the option to book an extra night for caravan and one person.   One average that works out at about £12.  Cheap at the price if you just want to leave your vehicle there packed up and ready to go while enjoying the area.

    Yes but that would be dishonest if there are more people than one adult in the caravan.

    Simple. If they keep the pitch all day it will be because they have booked it. If you have a booking there will be room!

    Personally I think that this is a rare event in that the remake is actually better than the original production.

    If I want to stay later on a Sunday I just go to the office on the Sunday morning and ask.  Generally my request is granted.  One site however that we use frequently the warden told me no as it was an insurance issue, so I left and never bothered asking again.  One of the big advantages since we changed to a motorhome is that when we leave site we don't have to go home, we generally find a local attraction to visit.  Not so easy with a caravan in tow.

    I reckon the ending will still be the same, Rocky. No matter how many times you watch it on catch-up, it's always the same. wink
