It might not totally avoid, probably better than car park spacing though.
However, it's a very silly argument anyway. Hands up who wants to be closer than 6 metres (main unit) 3 metres (peripherals) to there neighbour on a CC site. The OP is about white pegs after all, not other providers.

I agree with you AD, space has always been a key issue for us in terms of where we pitch up, hence why we use a lot of CLs. Sadly, the genie is out of the bottle now in terms of Club Sites, and whilst they are still very much on the nicer side of pitch provision, profits and the drive for ever increasing take up have taken preference to providing what it did some years ago.
We had a look at a satellite picture of our idea of camping hell a few days ago, finding ourselves on a decent but for us, poorly chosen Club Site. We had arrived in the dark, somewhere totally new to us. The Club Site was surrounded on all sides by other holiday parks. The Club Site stood out on the satellite image for having better spacing between units, but it still felt to us, too close together.

In the end of the day, the site staff should always have the final word with regards to pitching units - they are 'in charge, on the ground', so to speak, and know the details of the site. If I were a motirhomer, I would always ask if there are any pitches where there is flexibility, before pitching up my unit.

From some of the posts above this thread seems to have drawn fire from the odd keyboard warrior. Count me out of that part of the action.
I have not experienced sub standard clearances except possibly for one site, Harrogate Caravan Park, where I was aware that pitches seemed closer together in the area that we were using than on other parts of the site. I would say that there would have been at least 5 metres clearance however but I do not carry a tape measure and was not troubled as there were none parked adjacent.

It depends on your definition of space and clearance. Married to the Fire Service, someone who has seen, walked into and dealt with caravan fires as part of whatever comes up, you realise you are at the mercy of whatever spacing is deemed sufficient by the Site owners/ managers, and to a greater extent by who or what pitches up next to you. A degree of trust is required, namely that the Site owners have done their bit, and a wary eye on who ever arrives and chooses that pitch next to you. It’s a risk assessment based on probability v severity.
The Club has laid out its policy, and it’s possibly the most strictly applied rule the Club polices most of the time. Hence the site plans, the little models, the “park to the peg” instructions from almost every check in.

Bigger/more spaced out pitches = less of them = more people complaining they can’t get a pitch. Also, fewer pitches = less income to refurbish or purchase sites. Remedy = increase the pitch fees = more complaints and dissatisfied customers. 😁

Nice big pitch, David. Is it the camera angle because it looks as if there’s not a lot of space between the two vans as they’re parked at adjacent edges of the pitches?

Have to agree, there doesn’t look a lot of space between those caravan windows, other than some pretty greenery for a fire to leap into and across. Surely on such a pitch van would be further towards middle, with a smaller space either side?
