Arrived very early?🙀
Put your views to the club directly and make your voice heard, Swift. This isn’t the place to make the powers that be aware of your dissatisfaction and your 'review' may even be Deleted User because it’s not really a review.
Incidentally, could you not have moved to a HS when one became available?

We arrived late afternoon on a Tuesday last week. All the hardstandings were taken, although there were plenty of grass ones to choose from. We did choose a grass one overnight, then the next day a hard standing came available, we asked to move, which we did, no problem.
booking pitches only makes it worse for late arrivals. I like being able to choose on arrival rather than being directed. I am not keen on booking pitches beforehand even though it would reduce my ‘stress’ levels in selecting a ‘nice’ pitch. I suppose the real issue are the early arrivals! Who know if they get there early, they can choose the ‘best’ pitches hardstanding or grass.
so please Caravan Club, please don’t allow booking of pitches. I am sorry to all who might disagree.

I'm with 3Bikeman. I prefer to select a pitch on arrival. I dont visit the same sit more than once (except Cirencester), so how would i know which pitch would meet my requirements before getting to site? Google earth doesn't show everything.
The situation would be better if all early arrivals were turned away, not left to wait, but told to turn around and leave site. Theres no excess for turning up early.

I think folk travel to Cornwall overnight to avoid the traffic congestion rather than to arrive early in order to bag some mythical "best pitch". I've always liked the fact that we can pick a pitch on arrival at club sites - although for me it's simply the first suitable one we find, I'm not one for multiple laps of a site "just in case"! (And I can tell you, it drives Mrs M up the wall! )

The club does not charge extra on any site for hard standing.
Easy T.... the club needs to make money and if people are prepared to pay the little extra for a pitch then they should be given that option, the extra paid could be put back into the site so as pitches don`t become waterlogged, would pay for drainage of some sort

Tin Wheeler.... once you've set up, really don't fancy taking it all down again then putting it up again
Not going to please everyone i know but to have a choice would help,

As I said, put your views to the club.
Presumably the pitch couldn’t really have been too bad if it was preferable to moving to a HS. I think you’ve negated your case there.
Are people prepared to pay extra? Not if you read the constant moans about the price of staying on a club site!
