Ability to chose hardstanding pitches on all sites

I would think there are very few  of this clubs hardstandings ,that do no accomdate the tow vehicle as well

Old Hartley springs to mind as one of "the few".  The hard standings there are seperated from the roadway by grass.

I recall arriving at Poolsbrook about 5 years ago. Lovely dry weather plenty of empty grass pitches because people didn't want them

I've noticed that on all the sites I've been on where there is a mixture of HS and grass and the site start to fill up, even in the driest and hottest condition (Cromer 2019 springs to mind) then for some reason the HS pitches go first and later arrivals take the grass ones when the HS have gone.

Also SP are always well booked and some have suggested that this is so due to the certainly of getting a HS?

I do agree with others who have posted this, that the only reason the trial of boking HS was stopped was not because of causing confusion but it was found that people only booked HS and then went somewhere else if they couldn't? 

Yes my experience too on many sites. I assume the club keeps a record of the uptake of grass v HS and base their future planning on that?

We are not equipped either JVB and I’ve no intention of purchasing and carting about the where with all to get of a muddy pitch with a 3.5 tonne MH. If the CAMC can’t supply me with a pitch that is fit for purpose, or cancel me ahead of time, then we won’t be paying and staying.
One thing I’ve noticed about the C&CC booking system is that when I have booked well in advance I have only been given the choice of hardstanding, although the sites have been predominantly grass. I would imagine it is a deliberate action of the web site, why let someone book grass ages ahead when weather conditions might make it unsuitable.

When we last visited Cromer it was lovely weather and all hard standings were gone (Saturday arrival and not unexpected). One of the staff was triming hedgerow growth on a vacated HS so we waited about 15mins

Never experienced that myself Steve. I know if I don't book well ahead for certain C&CC sites there won't be much choice left and it's usually grass.

so it would appear that even in CCC land, where one can book a pitch type, HS pitches go first?

😤😤 NO

we only have a theoretical choice on arrival depending on what’s available, that’s not a choice thats a fait accompli.

You may be reading but you’re not hearing or understanding, we’re simply asking for a choice on booking. Either that or you just want an argument 

over and out !
