We booked this site with links from the CL Booking App. We paid up fully for the two nights before we arrived (now £18 per night) so we never saw the owners once whilst we were there. Before arriving we were emailed details of the code for the gate padlock. Note - there are 4 numbers on the padlock not the five we were told - so it's a process of elimination as to what number to start with! There are two hard standings - so we highly recommend booking in advance if you require a hard standing. The entrance to the actual camping field was pretty muddy, so we were glad we managed to get on a hard standing, especially as we are in a motorhome. Had we not we would have booked to go elsewhere, especially after all the recent wet weather. Electricity is metered - we think we put in £5 for the two nights. There is a shower and WC located on the adjoining static caravan site - the shower is coin operated. We didn't use the facilities. National Cycle Route 31 is located close to the CL. On the afternoon of our arrival we cycled it to Sudbury - which meant we cycled some of our return ride in the dark! Thank goodness we have good lights on our bikes. We had plotted a loop for our return ride - had we seen the state of the puddled, potholed country lanes beforehand we possibly would have cycled back the way we had cycled there. We actually cycled the same lanes the following day and saw just how bad they were. Fortunately the lanes were pretty quiet. The Chappel viaduct is a 5 minute cycle ride from the CL, and is worth going to view. The CL's proximity to Stansted airport was ideal for us, as we were picking up our son from the airport on our departure day - so we stayed until just before 12 before heading out towards the airport. Fortunately there are a number of lay-bys to park up in before getting to the airport. We may well return in the future as there are lots of quiet lanes ideal for cycling.
