I've just re read this thread and am struggling to understand how some folk think it is acceptable to charge for a day ' IN  THE   PAST '

yes its a 4 day minimum booking, but the OP said he did not think it was fair to charge for a day in the past , the OP never mentioned that it was expensive, just that he/she was being asked for a day thats been and gone.Surely the idiot on the phone could have struck a deal and knocked a day off....small minded greedy campsite owners in for a quick buck nothing else ......

wasn't you was it mcguire6078

This is a new one on me.

OH decided to take his youngest camping this weekend, just the two of them in a small tent.

they couldnt reaqlisticly set off til this morning (sat) and planned to spend two nights, as soon as he got up he strted ringing round.

most sites were full, he eventually found a site with a free pitch who said that as its a BH weekend he would have to pay for fri, sat, sun and mon night!!!! 

Yes, thats right! They wanted him to pay for last night, a night in the past, when he was at home snoring in bed!!!!

When he pointed out that he didn't think he should have to pay for a night in the past, the owner said "well I could sell the pitch to someone else for that night" - No you couldn't! It's in the past!!!!

Needless to say, OH didn't take him up on his 'offer'!
