Not up to Caravan and Motorhome Club Standards

We stayed for 5 nights on serviced pitch and were disappointed by a number of aspects regarding the way the site was managed. The COVID rules restricted the sanitary bocks to 5 wrist bands which were left in sanitised fluid at the entrance. On many occasions that we used the facilities all 5 bands were in the fluid and showers and WC’s were occupied. For a 48 hour period only 4 bands were in the fluid when the blocks were empty. Other caravaners also commented on the large number of people not following rules. The grass was excessively long and long enough to disguise dog dirt just to the rear of our pitch. We were also surprised by the number of commercial vehicle on site and caravans with registration plates not matching their accompanying vehicles. One of whom was spraying his sporty BMW car windows with black out paint on his day off from work. On the plus side there is a lovely countryside walk to The Fox at Caterham, about 2 miles over open countryside and plenty of other walking routes. The wardens were very helpful and guided us to the site due to local road closure. They are aware of the issues regarding the wrist bands but my personal view is that they don’t feel empowered to challenge the type of people non conforming. We shall not return and would expect the club to take note of mine and other ,reviews.

Peaceful perfect Location

I simply can't concur with the last 2 reviews. A warm welcome awaits you at this site from the wardens. We arrived yesterday the 1/9/20 to a picture perfect site. It is very peaceful and tranquil. Very well maintained by the staff. The first night was very quiet no signs of any "alleged" travellers quite the opposite in fact. Large pitches well spaced out lots of room. We are in larger than average Motorhome 7.4 metres no issues getting into the site just avoid Dean Lane our sat nav took us the correct way. A great location for walking and cycling. Dog friendly and great for children as well. A nice play park and wide open spaces for them. I would highly recommend this site.

Another Great Stay 28/08 - 01/09

In reference to the pervious review, we cannot comment on all aspects of the review however the reference to the long grass the reason for this is when the grass is cut short and then put under the stress of heat and groundsheets coving it, vans / cars driving on it it does not respond well ( my job is looking after sports pitches ). As far as the loud music is concerned that was not coming from the site it was an illegal rave taking place in the woods adjacent to the site so apart from reporting it to the Police which I know they did, there wasn't alot the wardens could do. Good Covid-19 procedures in place, we have visited this site many times and love it and will be returning soon.

Potentially very nice but ruined

I usually read reviews and take very little notice until I visit a site for myself. This site has a lot of potential and the modern facilities are lovely with great walks. Without the main aspect that I shall mention shortly the site was let down by 1. Police visits on two occasions. Unsure why they visited but does make you feel uneasy 2. Grass very long and clearly has not been cut for a long time 3. Yes there are travellers. But to be fair they were very pleasant whilst our children shared the playground. 4. Dangerous metal gate to playground. 2 of my children were hit on the head by strongly sprung gate and sadly the family on the pitch adjacent had a vist to hospital because their son was badly hurt with a large cut on face due to the gate. The largest concerning point, one of which I thought I would never encounter whilst staying at a club site was the incredibly loud music being played from 8pm until 11.10pm. At 10pm I had had enough and decided to visit the warden who I could not find. The music was so loud that I could here it across the whole site. It was coming from a group camped in tents down the far end of the site. There were guests all standing outside their units trying to find out where it was coming from. Considering this is a very large site, to hear it everywhere shows you the volume it was being played at. As I previously mentioned, I usually take no notice of reviews and never thought I’d feel obliged to write one myself, as I sometimes feel the comments made are fussy and people should lower their expectations. But in this occasion. Wow. Never thought I’d encounter this. Will not be back to this site. Such a shame as it has potential to be lovely. I am expecting the usual copied and pasted response from the club that says a lot without saying anything that you can see from the plethora of negative reviews about this particular site.

Lovely site

We stayed here for a week and found the site very peaceful, clean and well maintained. The barriers into and exiting the site are very easy as they have traffic lights indicating when to proceed. We met up with our daughters who were camping in tents and the site staff went out of their way to be helpful as they were arriving late after work. We found nothing was too much trouble and the the staff were all very friendly. The site is in a lovely area, we visited Box Hill and Epsom Downs, lovely for dog walking. We will be booking this site again next summer for our family get together as its the best we've stayed on. Thank you!
