Don't get me started on this one.
Ah by&&er it.
C&CC (or should I say the ex stasi staff I seem to meet) say you can fit a massive caravan or motorhome sleeping as many as will fit in it on a pitch no problem but if I turn up with two solo backpacking tents one for me and one for my daughter we have to pay for two pitches and be 6 metres apart.
The footprint of these two tents is usually less than the car that has dragged the afore mentioned caravan to the site!
So much for the camping part of their title.
To add insult to injury, I have used Keswick C&CC site for thirty years. Each visit I ask if we can have a lakeside pitch, then we enter into the farce that was, "two tents, that's two pitches","Is your tent under 1.8 metres", "Would your tent fit under this broom shank"."It's not us you know it's the National Trust","You can't park your car next to your tent". You get the idea, I've only been successfull 50% of the time in getting the pitch where I want.
Well I turned up last June, confronted by the same $#!te again denied a lakeside pitch. Whilst being escorted to my allotted space close to the dog toilet, sorry "walk" (I have a dog ok) I see a bloody great motorhome on a brand new hard standing right in the middle of the "lakeside" area.
I was proper pi$$## off.
Campers and especially small unit campers get a crap deal from C&CC IMHO.
My advice Chuck a tarp over the two tents, that makes it one "unit".
