Hi, I am looking at getting some pitch markers which will enable me to pop out if expecting someone in. At present someone is always around.
I have had a quick look, but what sort is best? most visable? I had thought of something like a traffic cone which you could put the name on, or an A board. little plastic stake with sign above and write name on that? must be visable, moveable and last more than once.

On sites I have been to where the owner has not been there full time they just leave a chalk board with the pitch number and your name on it outside the site hut/shop/reception area.
Marking each pitch individually with someones name on it would be time consuming I would have thought.
A white stone, bit like a stepping stone, clearly numbered in a front corner of the ptich. then as Bob suggested a chalk board with the client name and pitch number. Could also include a mobile number so if there ae issues you can at least be contacted but you're not tied to the site for the whole day waiting for a client to arrive?

Campers do it in the mud!
Hubby says we can
At CC sites they have a notice board outside reception and when closed sometimes leave an envelope with the persons name on. In envelope are site info sheet and a note telling you where to pitch up.
Have seen this on Black horse farm (kent) where there are often late arrivals from ferries, and also at Warwick at the end of the season when wardens were off site for the afternoon.
It seems to work OK

Site plan on flourescent yellow/orange card, laminated and with directions/pitch number in semi-permanent marker, at reception, with, if you don't have pitch numbers, a similar card on a post at the actual pitch?
I thought of stones, but then worried about causing damage to caravans if they reversed over them I like the idea of board outside with a site map, then you could just put a little sign on the pitch (as they would know roughly where they were looking).

Hi. I'd be happy with a welcome sign, a map of the site with pitches marked and a blackboard telling me where to pitch, along with an idea when to expect you back on site in case of problems. As long as the pitches are numbered, most people will be able to sort themselves out. That way you don't need to treck round the side putting out notices.
