Ground 'rules'

So I know we book our pitch but how far can we extend our 'teritory' beyond the gravel? What of the grass surrounding our pitch, can we leave items on this during our tenure (could be up to 21 nights) or do we need to be aware of site maintanence and those folk on the adjacent pitches? What's to do, what's considered good form, good etiquette, for the needs and comfort of all concerned?

Areas which are not included in a delineated pitch, are communal. Provided for the benefit of all. As campers, we are sharing a space.

Sitting out on chairs temporarily placed is fine, but you cannot "bag" a communal area like a homesteader!

Parking a rotary washing thingy is just the same as hanging a washing line up in my opinion, and it can be a most unpleasant sight if its in a neighbours outlook. If it can be done unobtrusively to the neighbours it is ok, but that means unobtrusive to your neighbours.

Ours is always parked firmly pegged on our pitch. If that's in the neighbours outlook, I am afraid they will just have to live with it.

I was referring to communal area.

If you can sit out on the grass(either neighbour) put up washing lines then why do some become apoplectic with rage if someone steps on it in passing?🤔

I don't think many object to the grass finger as a right of way. It's those walking under the wind out awning that cause understandable complaints.

Some may not object to the finger but I am still shocked at some of the posts demanding folk get kicked off for trespassing😱. Anality at its worse☹️

You have to walk along the grass fingers to get to water & the bins on some pitches at some sites.

We either hang washing on the awning guy ropes or on a line stretching from car to caravan.
