For that reason, it is always good practice to reverse in to a dead-end slot/parking space etc. Easier to drive away, and perhaps more importantly, safer to drive out than reverse.
The aire at Caceres has always been chock a block when we’ve tried using it so always use camping Caceres now over by the footy stadium, nice site with your own shower and toilet.
We have been told that several times as well - we have our opening door on the off-side, so I don’t know if they made the offer on consideration of that?
So here we have an aire where the Vans are in regimented rows, packed in close together with hardly any space between them...and yet, how many on this forum are always saying that they won't use campsites for the exact same reasons???
??? Price is probably the difference. The Aire at Grau was free, as many are, versus a C&MHC site for upwards of £30 a night.So here we have an aire where the Vans are in regimented rows, packed in close together with hardly any space between them...and yet, how many on this forum are always saying that they won't use campsites for the exact same reasons???
Oh it can get a bit strict, years ago we arrived at one campsite in Southern Germany Tents MoHo's and Caravans all perfectly lined up and parked the Band was playing which stopped abruptly at 8pm everything quietened down all very strict and orderly, on another site we could only park (our previous UK T5 Campervan) with the sliding door the same side as all the continental builds and exactly where we were told to park, again everything was perfectly aligned. makes most UK sites look shabby
Staying there as we speak. V helpful guy helped us identify a pitch where the fierce easterly wind wouldn't blow us down the hill into the Plymouth sound. Was at Steamer Quay and Start Bay previous to that and everyone v laid back and welcoming. Might have been beginners luck, or maybe Devon is just more chilled than Yorkshire. And we are LHD and have to check out the direction of everyone else's hab doors before we park..Hi.
Plymouth Sound site CAMC. The pegs there are positioned so that.. " Most " Pitches get a view out over the sound, it is one of the draws of that site. As mentioned before,try to even up wear in a given space,last but not least. " My battery is flat "...." NOT a problem,i will get my Car/4x4,even...... Motor Home ( Surprising how many Wardens ? have mo/ho's...
))).All our bottoms point towards the floor.
" Gizza Job ? " Warden in the summer,getting a wage of sorts,meeting people,enjoying cups of tea an odd drink on your rounds of a night,then OFF to southern Portugal/Spain for the winter.
You may have guessed,WE did a stint at wardening,when we decided to drop out of the "We never stop " haulage game, was not for me,so went back. It had storage, touring pitches,annual pitches ( Vans had to be off a fortnight a year) not a problem, book them out,get the tractor,tow them off and book them onto a touring pitch for a fortnight. All joking aside,of a weekend in the summer,we were often invited to a BBQ at one of the annual peoples unit,a chap " In the know" would drop off a tray of Burger buns of a friday,the ladies would arrive with all sorts of treats/HOME MADE CAKES! and the blokes brought beers and wine.Sorted.
What do i remember most ? There was a lady Nurse...on an annual pitch.Before breakfast, i would go and check both sets of toilets and the showers before going back to my " Weety Bangs " .... She-Her the LADY nurse would be...... FRYING Bacon and EGGS..... NOW you know why wardens get UP TIGHT !!! Many is the laugh she and i had of a morning..... " YER BARRED !!!!!!.

We use CLs all the time. In the last three weeks one in Bridgwater at £15 a night with ehu and wifi plus water and waste, showers and toilets, one in Sutton Bingham, £5 a night water and waste and now a week near Weymouth at £15 a night with ehu and wifi plus water and waste. Funnily enough, the first two we were the only people who were there and this one there are three long sayers on separate pitches and just us on CL section.
I trust your mirror-shine Jackboots passed muster in the 6am "Raus!" inspection?
We must be doing something wrong. It always costs us more than that. This is a booking we have. This works out at just over £30 a night.or the actual figure of less than £16 a night.
| Pitch fees for 7 night(s) @ £11.50 per night | £80.50 |
| 2 adult for 7 night(s) @ £10.10 per adult per night | £141.40 |

Bit of a generalisation as much of the time most club sites are around or a little over £20 and only reach around the £30 mark at peak times and in coastal areas.
From their website.
We've even had our caravan with the door "on the wrong side" when we've had it hitch to the pin end of the pitch.
They couldn't pay me enough to stay there.
I think they arrived early & had a walk round to choose where they wanted to be. Didnt really worry me to be honest, as there were plenty of other pitches available. If it had been a choice between pitch 20 and pitch 1 next to the barrier, it may have been a different tale.
Yes, we use the CLs, our favourite is £12.50 a night and it's excellent.Bit of a generalisation as much of the time most club sites are around or a little over £20 and only reach around the £30 mark at peak times and in coastal areas.
In addition to this CLs are as little as £12 throughout the year and you get an individual pitch with stacks of space as opposed to those packed in on free aires as in posts #121 and #125 sheer luxury
Have you been?
Name and shame the site please, why not.

Talk about splitting hairs. Most peaple look at a pitch from the front so you would always think must go to the right of that peg wether we go in front ways or backwards.
