We stayed here during the second week of November 2015. We had planned to go to Cumbria but due to the poor weather forecast we went in the opposite direction and stayed at Sheringwood for 4 nights. We hadnt viewed the reviews as it was a last minute booking, so after reading the first few reviews whilst we were there we wondered what we had put ourselves in for. I agree the non contact is strange and not what we are use to when staying on CL's. The pitches are well looked after and so are the waste disposal area. There are ample walks in the area and from the site itself. We always take an OS map with us where we go as we like walking, so we knew where the footpaths were. The free WIFI is good, not many sites you get it for free (Considering I had just paid £2.50 for 24 hrs at Sandringham Caravan Club site the previous night). We didnt have any disturbance from the Kennels, it is unfortunate for users if there are noisey dogs staying there when you are. So this could be a different picture at any other time. Overall a good stay.
