Leaving late what are the implications?

On Monday I walked by several people due to leave who asked if they could leave late to see one more band playing in the village that afternoon and one person who wanted to leave their caravan and go sight seeing in their car. Most looked at me like I had two heads as I said sorry that they had to leave by our stated departure time of 12. I went on to explain that we had other people booked and due arrive from 12 noon and late leavers combined with arrivals makes for a congested service point and entrance. I also explained we needed to clean the shower block and mow the grass around the pitches.
Anyway despite all being re advised departure was 12 noon two MHs decided to leave late at the same time as a Winnebago arrived which was a nuisance for all.
If we are quiet we will try and accommodate people who want to leave late but when we are busy it really does impact on getting the site ready again. Particularly so at the end of a weekend when the majority are leaving to be replaced by new arrivals.
There you go an explanation from a site owner,

whereas meself and Sue are always on the road at 1st light

On some of the sites I have been on recently, the access to the sites and roads on the sites have been so narrow , that if two larger outfits were traveling in different directions it would take a few tricky manoeuvres to get moving again.

Malcom is right we do not have the luxury of a big holding area or car park but we are lucky enough to have places to safely park a motorhome within a few minutes walk of the campsite. But usually when we are asked for a late check out people want to stay hooked up and usually want to use all the facilities when they leave in this case I ask the people for a donation which is given to towards the Doonbeg Jazz Festival.
For me I’m not trying to make extra money, more about the smooth running of the campsite.

Ahh extra charges my pet hate when I chose a site.
I have spoken to many people who cannot understand why there is an extra charge for awning, they’ve paid for the pitch therefore it is up to them how they use it. I agree. That said when it is really wet we ask those with awnings to put them on a smooth gravel surface, we have pitches suitable for this and we lend rock pegs, we now find that people who have put the awning on the gravel now prefer this as it is less messy in the awning.
So no charge here for an awning.

Jaimie / Tommy 12 is a generous departure time, people are taking the hand staying longer than that if you've said no. Most houses up the north coast want you out by ten to turn them around.

I'm in Ballycastle at the minute and they want you out by ten which is a bit early considering they are only cutting the grass before the next lot. But then I'm in a van and no awning so easy to drive off and no trace left.
