It would be great to have feedback on the caravan sites and how the safety measures are working. We will be watching for the next two weeks to see how safe the sites are before we decide to start touring again.  Maybe a lot of people will put reviews on individual caravan sites.

Thank you.

I think it was just for today as with staggered arrival times

Tomorrow is their first day of opening as there is a race meeting today, so would have expected a call ... I can imagine 100+ arriving at 12 o'clock will be chaos.

Have you tried to make contact with anybody (HQ or the site) by phone?  You should be okay for normal arrival tomorrow though.

Just checked availability on that site: tomorrow less than 5 pitches for "Grass without awning" pitches, but that message doesn't appear on "Grass with awning" pitches.  Therefore looks like the site isn't fully booked, hence possibly no staggered arrivals?  Only guesswork on my part.

I'd also say that if you haven't had a phonecall anyway (assuming the CAMC have your correct number) arrival time is the "normal" time for that site (don't know whether that's 12 or 1).

Although not a Facebook member I can read comments via the "posts" section on the CAMC FB page and see that most have been happy with their arrival day.

Only two grass without awning pitches on the site plan, not much choice of pitch if you choose that option.

Is it possible the 6:30 arrivals have come a long way and  miscalculated the journey time given the vagaries of the countries roads? I know I find it almost impossible to calculate some journey times and have got it wrong before now.

Five and half hours wrong, I don t think so 😝

Looks like the first problem has reared it's head.

News from Moreton in March site. People using the toilets have taken all the rubber bands denoting what space is available . No bands, no entry. They've walked away with them, (that's the polite version )

A lot of people will be standing with their legs crossed
