I recently went to C&MC Rowntree caravan site in York, they have always had a bit of a hit and miss nose in nose out policy depending on which warden was there at the time. However when I went last month the C&MC now have two white pegs rather than the one which you had to get as close to the right of the peg. You now have to get your van in between the two pegs which isn’t an issue, however they had put the left peg very close to the hedge making it impossible to put an awning up if you went nose out. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this on other C&MC sites?

We've only come across it once so far - it may have been Freshwater East but not sure.

As there was sufficient space on the pitch for an awning either side it worked well for us and we just put it in as we wanted.

This summer we did have a slight problem with a C & C Club site when the warden showed us a fchoice of a few pitches and when we picked one he told us to put it in a certain way. However we realised next morning that it wasn't the best way we simply moved it round the other way for the rest of our stay. We chatted to him and other wardens a fair few times after this and nothing was said. Good really as I had decided I wouldn't move it back whatever was said...........

Just wonder if he was feeling a bit arsey at the time.

Saw a C & M Club warden being difficult with a large motorhome user this summer across from our pitch over what seemed to be a few inches - seemed a bit trivial really. Most wardens are great but there seem to be a tiny minority who are officious "jobsbodies"

I would be curious to know how foreigners manage, being used to doing whatever they like LOL

I hope he didn’t bring any customers with him! ….

The C&MC experimented with the two pegs system during the 2021 season and are now bringing it in to all Club sites. See the attached from the C&MC magazine earlier this year:

Coming back from 3 weeks touring in Scotland mainly on CMC sites at everyone we were told pitch in or out, up to us. Just about all of them were using 2 peg pitching

That was our experience as well in Devon, Wiltshire and Somerset in July - and that was without two pegs! We found the wardens all very helpful - when asked nicely. That did, however, follow an experience at Exeter Racecourse last year when we were asked to turn our unit around, by a control freak chap, having pitched and pegged the previous evening...

Hi Poptop, I was just looking at your photo. Could you not have turned your set up through 90 degrees ? So that the awning was facing out towards the road and your bed was further back from the traffic ? We have never been on any of these very regimented sites. Its always a nice big field and set up in a sensible way.

The new two peg system gives you a distance of 3m to pitch within. If your van is shorter than 3m, then they might well allow it - in theory! Obviously most caravans are longer than this, so they don't often get asked if it's OK. The (non C&MC) site we frequent most often allows pitch nose in, nose out or sideways as long as you fit within the 3m wide gravel area, which our Triton does
