this week were booked on a cl, and we went out for a day returning in the evening, and there was a motorhome on the next pitch hookedup and the owners were inside relaxing, after a while a campervan drove slowly along the site looking at all the pitches and turned round and went to wait near the gate, next thing the cl owner came and had a word with the motorhome and they had to leave and the campervan then parked on pitch next to ours, while having a chat the next day it turned out the motorhome was booked on another cl, but couldnt find it so drove onto ours and just parked on empty pitch,  without phoning to ask if the spots were free.   question is how many would just drive onto a cl and pitchup.

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 outsurprised

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

I don't spend my life in my caravan as I do have other interests in my life but generally use club sites at least once a month all year round so that puts your comment about the need to use sites more often out of place.  

As for the two peg system, it wasn't in evidence on the last site we visited last month - Wharfedale.

Ah……..🤣 Few years ago, we booked a CL pitch at a lovely site not far from Bridlington. Winter touring, I used site directory to find site in dark. We pitched up, had our evening meal, and only then did it dawn on us that we were on the wrong CL😬🤣 We duly rang the CL we had booked, and explained, luckily they thought it was hilarious. We also knocked on CL owners door and explained why we were there unannounced. Again, they were in stitches at us. We paid for our night, then left and went to the one we had booked next morning. I did offer to pay for our mistake, but they weren’t bothered, just amused. We have been back to both CLs since. Both CLs were at the top of the directory page, that’s were the confusion came in. That’s the excuse I am sticking with 🤣🤣

the last CL we went to, we arrived mid afternoon on the Wed, phoned up to ask if there were any particular requirements of us, got told to pitch where we wanted & someone would likely call later to collect monies etc. On the Sun, we decided that we should go looking for that someone so we could pay!

I'll not say how many units were on site ....

Because some get upset if there are more than the max 5 units .... in this case there were 8 at one point but still loads of room.
