Thank you very much for taking the time to review our CL. As members ourselves we use the CL network widely in Northern Ireland and the mainland and have visited so many different and beautiful CLs.
However, when we see a 'Good....BUT'..it certainly draws our attention in more, so I would like to address the 'buts' for the benefit of other visitors
Our site is stated as 0.5 acres (with more than the recommended distance between vans) so when we have five vans in with awnings, windshields, owners, dogs, and cars ..it might certainly appear compact...especially in peak season when the site is full. However, this has never been an issue before and we certainly do not advertise it as a large field/meadow or even a larger Forest Park/Glen with forest walks or river walks. It is a little 0.5 acre, beautifully landscaped and well maintained CL, with hardstandings and grassed areas, shower, toilets, information cabin, in the typical farming countryside, with welcoming hosts/wardens who are always on site and... all just for £12.50 a night.
The reason we ask dog owners to walk 100m down a quiet road and into the 8-acre field to allow their dogs 'let off' steam, is that there are strict hygiene rules around our self-catering properties and accommodation at Tepee Valley Campsite. In the past, we have had CAMC members allowing their dogs to foul right next to children playing. So we find that asking dogs to be walked a 100 meters away from the CL rather than right next to it is best for all our customers.
We have busy summer periods, both in the popular CL and in the award-winning glampsite so perhaps coming out of season would suit some people better.
