Check-in Chaos

I love this site and have previously rated it 5* and the site itself still deserves that. Usually I arrive early afternoon. This occasion I left Cartmel Races 11am, so was looking for details of earliest arrival time. A trawl of booking confirmation and app booking info suggested 12 noon, the usual check-in time. I waited in a lay-by until midday, then drove onto site. Reception was shut, until 1pm, and other units were already queuing waiting to get on site. The next hour was chaos with units arriving and blocking access, units were unable to leave, and eventually the queue blocked both local static caravan access, hotel access, then the public road. Rather than hoping new arrivals manage to find the new arrival time of 1pm - why not simply keep the universal arrival time of noon, but ask departing units to leave by 11am? Problem solved.

It is indeed a fiasco. The club introduced 1pm arrivals using the excuse of Covid. Now that we are supposed to be free, why can't we go back to 12 noon arrivals? And the excuse of additional cleaning never really materialised, most of the toilets & showers have been locked closed at all sites. Members have never embraced the 1pm arrival time, witness all the outfits you saw.
