Morning
Dornafield will be run pretty much as it is now yt. No reversing out of cul de sacs, no one way systems.

Do they have pitch allocations as mentioned above? Many AS sites and commercials do.
if they don't (and having allocated pitches would be a huge departure from the CAMC norm) how would one avoid reversing from a cul de sac if the pitch you were aiming for didn't turn out to be 'the one'?
if the site is currently laid out with dead ends then one either has to choose prior to heading to a pitch or to be resigned to the fact that there will be some possible 'manoeuvring' to cope with.
choosing a pitch whilst sat in a car cruising round the usual site ring road is one thing, trying to do it whilst checking out cul de sacs is another.
If it's pitch allocation then that will be an interesting approach for visiting members.

Well there are already quite a few club sites with dead ends and have been for years, decades even, so it's not a new problem for the club at.
I can think of four sites straight away, and no such problems as you describe occur in my experience, at least when I'm there, and these are all busy sites.
On these sites the wardens always show on the site plan where problems could occur, and people are always given or offered a site plan and I've noticed if people do want a pitch in a dead end they walk from its entrance to have a look before choosing. Also when there are dead ends the roads are usually wider. And of course it appears if most caravans have movers? And if not simply unhitch and turn around by hand then hitch up again, or they have good reversing skills, but again never seen any problems, I think people are always forewarned as said to start with on these sites and use common sense.
It's not really a problem YT.

I agree CS. We have stayed on several sites with dead ends. It had never been a problem. We have always been shown on the site plan and advised to park at the end and check availability if interested. Not so much of an issue now though, although I prefer not to reverse on busy sites with kids about.

As others mention yt, it's not a problem, well not in the 13 years I've been doing the job.
There are also a number of our sites where for various reasons a pitch is allocated on arrival, once again, never a problem.

+1 TC👍🏻, reversing isn’t a skill it’s a basic requirement.
