What do you think of caravanners arriving too early to get on their pitch, when it clearly states on booking, arrival time when the pitch will be available?
Treamble Valley is the site we say we will definitely go back to...it was the our first site in our first proper touring holiday when we bought our first 'van nearly three years ago!Hi Liz,
Yes we have arrived early, very early at Treamble Valley one year, and the staff were great, simply asked that we put the van in the early/late arrival area, just opposite Reception, until our pitch had been vactaed and checked that it was ok to use.
We left the van and went into Newquay for the day, returning later in the afternoon to put tthe van on the now vacant pitch.
I do , however, know that not all sites are like this, and some can make it seem as if you have committed a major crime.
I don`t find myself agreeing with much that cris says, but he`e got a point on rude site staff.Being self employed, I and the guys that work for me take time away often when we've got a last minute chance. We often work over bank holidays so it's a last minute call if we can get away.
The one thing that P@@@'@ me off if some of the rude comments you get calling a site when you get a rude response saying like your F$$$$$$ stupid to be calling as "of course" we are full.
One site near Newquay has said call later and no doubt someone will not have turned up and sure enough we've headed off in the evening and parked in the early hours in a holding field and have soon be parked in the morning and they have always seemed to have a few spaces where I guess others have failed to turn up.
We can't always accomodate customers due to work load, but we are always pleasant to them as we might be able to the next time and be glad of their work and money.
