CAMC: SHOULD SITE WARDENS BE EXPECTED TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THOSE THAT ARE LATE UPON ARRIVAL?

As per title: It would be interesting to hear what others have to say about this.

Sorry PC for previous post regarding negative camc site review.

Some sites don't have a late arrivals area so anyone turning up "after hours" is going to have a problem, most sites say arrivals are okay up to 8.00pm but if running late I know most site wardens will try and help, happened to us a few years back at Cirencester due to an accident on the M42. We phoned ahead and explained and the warden said not a problem, just ring once arrived (around 8.15pm from memory) and he came out to us, let us in and told us to come to the office the next day to pay.

That was all very reasonable Gary and many wardens would be prepared to accommodate after the 8pm cut off but ofcourse only if they're on site and not out for the evening. But judging by the camc review I previously posted, it just serves to demonstrate how much grief they get from the demanding, entitled few.

A site is unlikely not to have a warden on safety grounds. I’ve always found Wardens on both clubs’ site as friendly and helpful. One trip heading south from Yorkshire we had two dogs with bad tummies so we did consider just dashing for home rather than the overnight stopover. I phoned the wardens who said not a problem but if we do decide to stopover they would reserve us a pitch next to the gate in to the forest so the dogs could be taken out quickly. We opted for the stopover to give us and the dogs a break.
