- These people do not consider anyone else, who do you think leaves a turd in the toilet,who speeds,who does not pick up after the dog,who lets there kids annoy others,ect ect it is probably a pitch invader and sadly possible the majority of members who are not on club together.

Might not even be a Club member as they let all comers onto most sites to get the money.

I am simply amazed that anyone chooses to go to CAMC club sites if this is really what they are like. I am sure they are not all like that...really
.Not a soul encroached on our pitch the entire 3 months we spent on a hedged site in Spain.

My farmer neighbour buys electric fence tape for £7.50 per 100 metres and connects it to a 12 volt battery to keep cows where he wants them to be.

My wife had a pair pinched off the whirly gig washing line last year. She wasn't bothered about the knickers but wanted the 12 clothes pegs back. 😊

Had someone forgotten to pack their awning?

This problem of idle people taking short cuts is I am afraid not only on caravan sites, look at any super market, or any where it is possible to shorten the route they will use it, our local Tesco put in a lot of shrubs and trees to enhance the car park, it did not take long for the short cutters to trample suitable paths so that they saved a couple of yards,razor wire will not stop them, they are bone idle ignorant wasters who should be horse whipped publicly when caught.

Yes, it's quite bizarre. Save 10 yards to get to the supermarket door and then walk miles up and down the aisles.
Dafter still is that the same happens at gyms. People crush into the car park as near as possible to the door. Those a bit further away cut across planted areas and squeeze between cars (perhaps dragging their bag down the side of them) to save a few yards in order to get to the temple of fitness.

I am not a clothing size expert but, if it takes 12 pegs to hang 1 pair..................!!!

I did post this a while back, but it shows the lack of thought.
A group of 4 adults and 5 kids pitched behind our van and virtually in the next field, set off for a walk to the local tea room approx 3 miles away. The first action was to scramble up the bank and climb over the single rail fence between fields then trample over the corner of my neighbours awning before walking between pitches.
They then followed the road to the exit gate which merged with the road next to their van.
Time save nil, yards saved nil.

If you think it is bad on CC sites, it is even worse on CCC sites!
At Cambridge recently, we had a pitch conveniently close to the facilities, but unfortunately apparently on the preferred straight line route to the facilities for about half of the site!
We had no awning up, so several just walked straight over the gravel pitch beside the van.

We generally avoid sites that don't have some boundary around the pitch - hedges, bushes etc. I guess that's one reason we don't camp in the UK.
In my youth we had a permanent tent on a site which we regularly visited at weekends. If we wanted to walk in front of a tent overlooking the river we were taught to say "knock, knock. Passing". As we all know, manners are not what they were.
I do consider it rude to walk across another pitch but I also think that it is symptomatic of the British and of Club sites for people to want to create their own space and not communicate with other campers.

This aerial view of a Motorhome Aire came up on another forum yesterday. I think people are making a storm in a teacup when they complain about lack of privacy on Club sites.

In my 10 years' on/off CAMC membership I've probably only spent a dozen nights on club sites as 90% of my touring's spent motorhoming at CL's or abroad but I have stayed on some very densely packed Aires. However, I'm only passing through and stop there overnight, maybe sit outside for an hour at sundown perhaps nattering with neighbours with a nightcap so it's not an issue. Many caravanners on the other hand seem to 'set up camp' for a week or so and perhaps feel more possessive about 'their space'.
My solution might be to strip off naked as a trespasser approached and wave (my hand) from the open caravan window or door. That'd stop 'em!
