Hmmm......
Yes, we did take previous reviews into consideration when deciding to stay at Crockwell Park. It was the regular bus service in and out of Torquay that trumped the reviews and also being out of season, fewer sites were open in that area. Well, sadly it appears that nothing has changed. Toilet/shower facilities are always a special bonus on a CL, but preferred our Moho facilities on this occasion. Plenty of pitches with dedicated water and EHU, but a challenging gradient onto and off the grass site. Countryside views lovely, but lost when pitched down in the grass area, the advantage of which drowns out noise of passing quarry lorries which did not bother us at all. And still no sign of a Moho drive over grey waste point. Owner’s beautiful dog escaped into the CL which has been mentioned on previous reviews, but not a problem for us as we don’t have a dog. Relatively new to touring we have stayed at many and varied CLs and really enjoy them, even the most basic sites with only fresh water and cassette cleaning available. Crockwell Park is one of the more expensive CLs we have encountered at £25 per night, which seems disproportionate for a tired looking site that has so much potential. We have corresponded with the owner on the above and other isolated issues. Apparently the toilet/shower arrangement is temporary and planning permission has been requested for better facilities. Didn’t get an answer on where to find the Moho drive over grey waste facility despite asking twice. Owner hopes if/when we visit again to have rectified these problems. Note; we didn’t use the bus service at all in the end! We walked and cycled in and out of Torquay and had the odd lift from family.
