Just turning up on CL

Cheeky blighters 😂. 

Good to know it was sorted. Hope you enjoyed your stay?

I read of an instance a few days ago where a member had arrived at a CL, pitched up and next morning the owner knocked for his fee.  It was only at that point that the camper realised that he was on the wrong CL because he'd already paid prior to arrival.

We were on a CL last year and after a day out we got back to find an old converted camper-van on site.  They changed their water, emptied their waste and rubbish, stayed for an hour or so then drove off, never to be seen again.  On asking the owners a day or so later (when we next saw them) they had no idea who they were!!  Cheeky or what! 

I know many CL owners have lots of other things to do but maybe a good case for 'walking the site' at least once a day would help.  This is something I actually think all sites' staff should do. 

Some years ago we were on a site in the Cotswolds and a motor caravan was using a remote service point where we pitched  the warden came and there was quite a heated conversation 

It transpires the the said motor caravan had arrived in site and asked if they could drive round the site to have a look as his wife was not able to walk.the warden came to see where they were 🤔

Only once most club sites it is usually more than that already

where we are staying they fast track arrival s on a Friday to keep the road outside clear of arrivals 

It is quite obvious that some do not return to the office as they have not received the barrier card because they  cannot exit so another job for site staff to have to look round the site to find the non returners

We've been on a site where that has happened Jill. Owner did question the member on the first day but put it down to her husband not making a note of the booking. Next day the nearby CL owner rang up to see where member was and he realised he was on the wrong CL!

We did have a similar occurrence whereby a Campervan appeared on a site late one night and was gone by 7a.m. Transpires he had an arrangement with the owner as he had some occasional work related business in the area and called to see the owner with a cheque at the end of each month to pay up for nights spent. Owner quite happy. CL was big and the campervan man extremely quiet. Anyway there was only 4 on the CL when we were there.

They might whizz past on their tractors to empty bins several times a day always looking the other way from the person who's parked half a mile from the peg but they certainly don't all walk the site on the club sites I've visited.  

I think you need to use sites more often? with many new members and staycation members it seem the site staff spend plenty of time on site sorting them out

And as the majority of sites now have the two peg pitch markers  off peg would be difficult

I think this is something CL owners can sort out without too much concern from other site users and as you point out the situation isn't always "as seen."
