Ease of arrival/welcome

Good site but confusing signage

This is a sloping site on a grass hill and you'll probably need the supplied wooden blocks. Best to leave the handbrake on! There are six well-spaced and marked pitches all in a row like soldiers on parade each with room for a van/awning/car unit. The usual fresh water, grey water, recycling and chemiloo facilities are at the end of the field nearest the CMC main site. As there is no toilet or shower £16pn seems slightly overpriced. There's an adjacent bridal way for dog walks and the farmer has cut paths for kids to cycle in the otherwise high grass down the field. Satellite TV was difficult with a tripod-mounted dish and a high tree line to the south east. Freeview was OK - vertical polarisation seems to work best. We had no problems with mobile phone signals. Confusingly the owner randomly leaves the entrance gate chained and padlocked which means on arrival you have to go up the drive marked strictly private to get onto the site at the top end. Even if the gate is open the sign indicates it's a parking area, not necessarily the CL. More consistency in signage and gate opening is required, preferably leaving it open from about 8am to 11pm every day. There are lots of things to do in the area with Salisbury and Winchester and their historic attractions not far away. For steam buffs the Watercress Line is reasonably close for a day visit and, if you happen to be on-site on an open day, Twyford Waterworks is worth a visit.
