What do you request when you book a campsite?
Is it normal to request say a flat pitch, not hard ground or not in soggy ground, near toilets or away from groups etc ?
Or do you just book your number of nights and hope for the best when you get there?

Depends on where I'm going and when.
I try to give as much information as I can when I book - I have 3 children, large family tent, dog, require EHU etc.... then the site has a pretty good idea of my needs and can allocate a pitch accordingly.

Site websites usually give detials such as sloping pitches (nothing is ever going to be 100% flat) they have little control over the ground conditions but I guess you could request things like near toilets, play area etc... but this would probably only be a request and couldn't necessarily be guatanteed.

Some sites allow you to choose your pitch when you arrive or if they have allocated you one and it's not ideal you could always ask if there was another pitch available.

i normally read the reviews on here first and then

phone asking for some information, general stuff like toilets, showers, access, flatness of field, other bits

i always ask if the weather has affected the site in anyway

when i have enough info then i ask about avialability, price etc, extras too

hope this helps

Sharon

i will get the medication soon...

I just read reviews, book and hope for the best as I have such a small setup without EHU I often get given a choice when I get there.

It's quite normal to ask for near toilets or away from the swingparks or for a secluded pitch because you have a dog, for example. But asking for the pitch to be in a specific state when you get there is more difficult!

We always ask to be near a toilet block if possible as my OH is disabled and this makes life a little more easier.
