Not Happy

We visited this site, having looked at the reviews on the club website. We were told to pitch on the field on the left when going up the drive, This in the secondary field as the other one was full. This was extremely tight to get into. Contrary to what we were told the field did not drain of water, and as we had continuous rain for 10 days the field became waterlogged. Otherwise it would have been a reasonable field to pitch on. On leaving the site we were told to use the bottom exit, which is down a slope onto a flat driveway. We suspected grounding and we certainly did. We had to reverse, unhitch and move the caravan on its own. We have a single axle Lunar Clubman SB(not the longest caravan you could have by any means) We then hitched up to drive away. If we had continued down the slope towing the caravan(as the site owner had suggested)we would have ripped the bottom out of the back of the caravan. The site owner then said " I've had twin axles down here before without any problems" . We shall not be visiting again.

Response from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. The CL owner has been in touch as they want to make sure everyone has a wonderful time on their site and are sorry to read you had some concerns which they would like to address. There was a pitch available on the other field but as you wanted to pitch with your friend the CL owner had the 2 pitches together on the top of the left hand side of the site which is the best drained area. Unfortunately the weather had been very wet with high levels of rain which has caused issues on many sites. We are sorry this impeded your enjoyment of the site. The CL owner was sorry that you had concerns about grounding. Because of the rain the CL owner advised you to use the exit at the bottom of the site which is all downhill to a level tarmac road. Up to the last season the sloping exit was the only exit from the CL and in close on 40 years of running the CL nobody has ever grounded their van before so we were sorry to hear you experienced issues. The CL owner is always more than happy to offer their help and assistance. We hope this helps address your concerns and the CL owners are sorry that you won't be returning to them in the future.
