hardstandings

[joeby]

my friend who has campervan gets a hardstanding ,and i with a twin axle get grass ,yet i am more liable to chew the grass up if its wet ,i am not complaining i am just trying to find the reasoning behind it ,

The same thing happened to me at Ashridge Farm in early April. The warden allocated me a grass pitch, whilst opposite to were I was pitched he had coned off about 4 pitches for Motorhomes.

As it happened I quite liked the pitch I had but I would rather have been given a choice, as you usually do at Caravan Club sites.

Didn't think they could reserve pitches at CC apart from Disabled requests.

They may assume you want to put an awning up which is easier on grass.

With the latest booking system wardens will know if any Motorhomes are booked in, and if insured with the caravan Club the exact make and model, as this shows up automatically on the booking confirmation.

Motorhomes can cause problems on grass, especially wet grass, by sinking in. So with this knowledge, to protect the grass for future use by members, they will allocate hardstandings to motorhomes.

Once in the past, although i prefer hard standings, i had to go on grass for this very reason but at least the grass pitch was in good condition.

Motorhomes tend to go on and off site while a caravan stays put with only the towing car moving - which causes less damage to the grass.

They don't even accept disabled requests any more if booking on-line. You have to contact each site direct, and even then you will not get much joy.
