Never known a CL to have a problem with arriving or leaving early/late, unless of course the pitch is required. If they did complain, well there are plenty more. I worry more about others reporting the CL to the CC.

I can see this argument from both sides. On a busy site, the warden will need time to clean the facilities/prepare the pitch/deal with admin before the next folk start arriving. And the people leaving that morning have the right to stay on their pitch until the death, if they wish, without being hassled.

On the other hand, if the site is quiet and a pitch is available, then it may be ok to let folk on early.

We mainly camp in France, and don't try to check in before 12. But sometimes you have to be quick because they close from 12 'til 3. And we have been chased off our pitch by a huge motorhome arriving about 10.0 am when we were still having breakfast. I complained at reception, eventually they admitted they had made a mistake letting the MH have our pitch.

Mucker, please let me know where you are camping so that we can have a 'cold one' while we are packing up. Much appreciated!

I had reason to complain once when a caravan once turned at 3am at nantcol waterfalls and started to noisily pitch including talking to each other in normal voices and sorting their dog out. I was not happy as it woke us all and I had to leave the next day without much sleep at all, but 1/2 an hour early is not much of a crime is it?

You may well wink, Frazzers... but what the dumb fools didn't realise is that if they had vacated by five to twelve, I'd have handed them two bottles each!!

I think that the rule is there for 2 reasons. As above some entrances to sites are single lane, but most folks are gone well before 11 anyway.
Another reason especially on caravan club sites is that the wardens clean the toilet blocks between 11 and 12 so there would be nobody there to book you in. We sometimes arrive early, cant be helped if traffic is fluid so to speak, occasionally had to wait until 12 but thats never a problem.


And God help you if you interfere with the warden's schedule.

If you are one of these modern flexiblists then you have no place in the Caravan Club.

You will want to defy the rules on how you place your caravan next, and then where will it end?


Or you could be one of the world revolves around me type of caravanners that do what they please irrespective of the rules put in place for reasons that are beyond them !!!!
