Used this site for years as we like the location, but CAMC are doing their best to ruin it. The showers are modern, but as with all other “renovated” CAMC sites, the water pressure is always PATHETIC meaning it takes 3 times longer than it should to shower. The water is never better than luke warm, even in winter. The water supply in the EHU freezes every time the weather gets cold, which I’d have thought, given its location, would have been an obvious issue to address when it was renovated by CAMC a few years ago, but clearly not. CAMC’s latest idiotic idea is to make taking rubbish away as difficult as possible by moving all the rubbish bins to a location as far away as possible from users to outside the site office. Then put in huge industrial wheelie bins with ridiculously HEAVY METAL LIDS which we are then supposed to wrestle with one handed, whilst trying to chuck in the rubbish with the other hand. Why do the lids need to be metal? As far as I know, bears aren’t an issue in Castletown. How are guests in wheelchairs or with any kind of physical mobility issues supposed to deal with that??? No doubt CAMC will hide behind “health and safety” issues as is normal for all their other many, many, many, many rules (making a stay on a CAMC site seem more like a trip to boarding school than a holiday). When someone breaks a couple of fingers losing control of the lid or gives themselves a concussion trying to chuck their rubbish away, MAYBE CAMC will realise their stupidity.
