Parking on pitches G.B.

I think this has been discussed before but please can someone explain.......
I've just been looking at the get together in Cambridge. It's one big field. How can the manager want you to park one way in or another?

The law states that there must be minimum separation distances between units (including awnings) to minimise the risk of fire spreading.

UK built caravans have the door on the left hand side so if all the units reverse into their pitches these distances are maintained. When a foreign interloper such as an Eriba with the door on the right hand side pitches the same way round, its awning will face that of its neighbour possibly compromising the separation distance.

Also, some people don't like having their entrance door facing that of their neighbour on the grounds of privacy so site owners may insist on continental vans being parked nose-in. Easy if you have a mover but tricky if you are not on a drive-through pitch.

🙄🙄🙄 Here, that field would be classed as an aire naturelle, not a campsite. Are they all like that in England?

I think you will find that they are throughout the UK, not just England.

With most Eribas having their lounge and picture windows at the back, unlike UK WWB's, it can be better, view wise, to pitch nose in. Obvs not so good if you have a fixed bed instead of a lounge.

A lot of UK sites are converted farmer's fields where there are no tree's/shrubs etc to add character and interest and often the owners just want to rake in pitch fees and not invest in decent landscaping.

There are some exceptions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEt4yfP1iqw
