We have just had our first visit to Spring Paddock CL, in mid-May 2023. We like CL sites in general as they are just so much "cosier". With a fully capable motorhome (Zerfiro 696), no more children, and a love of walking, we also find they have just the facilities and local walks that we desire. But this site is something else! Martin and Deborah clearly just love making this site what it is. There is real pride displayed here. Everything is done in detail, down to the constantly changing joke cards in the immaculate, warm, welcoming, toilet block (with showers). As a CL it has only 5 pitches so there is just one toilet/shower/wash-basin for men and one for women, but honestly, it's more than enough bearing in mind some CLs don't have any such facilities. There are plenty of walks in the area through Cannock Chase, and beyond. For National Trust enthusiasts Shugborough Estate is literally 10-15 minutes drive up the road. We have given it "5" for absolutely everything but we should mention here the "peace and tranquility" for balance. It is only to indicate that you will find yourself right the other side of a hedge from a busy main road (hence the ease of arrival!!) which you will possibly notice at night. It didn't worry us in the least, as very few sites have absolute tranquility, *and* ease of arrival. Think about it! If you are talking about the peace and tranquility of the site overall and the surrounding area, you will be more than happy. There are just so many touches of detail in this wonderful, wonderful CL site. Whatever is the standard beyond "Gold", this site has it.
