Good CL but with some issues

We stayed on this site so we could arrive early at Travelworld for a Hymer service. When we booked by phone there was no email confirmation, so we had no evidence when we arrived that we had booked. The site has lovely large pitches, flat and south facing and a lot of work has gone into landscaping the area. There are only two loos and one is with the only shower. These facilities are also used by people staying in other caravans adjacent to the CL, so they really need more loos especially as there were 7 caravans and motorhomes at night. We also could not find anywhere to dump grey water from the motorhome. We go the impression that this was a new CL, so very much "work in progress"? The CL is very convenient for events at the Stafford Showground.

I wonder why this CL is still up and running as this is at least the second review that has mentioned that there have been more than 5 vans on the site!! There is definitely a problem with sites in this area having more that the allowed number, as we reported one for the same problem a good few years ago.

Nellie, he has the 5 HS CL pitches at one side of the field and a couple of seasonal pitches the other. I’m trying to remember what Maddie said about separate pitching areas. 

The place is a big complex involving residential park homes and van storage. It’s a good CL, in my opinion.

TW, it does say on the CL's CC web site that the toilet facilities are for exclusive use for those on the CL, but reading the post above that doesn't seem the case. I know it's nit picking, but along with the impression that they allow more than 5 vans on, as pre a couple of reviews, it did make we wonder about it.

I can’t comment on who uses of the toilet block, Nellie, as there is an additional charge for using it and each time we stayed we used our own facilities.

I believe the site inspector lives nearby and visits frequently. 

Agreed, there are doubts about compliance and description but I’m keeping an open mind at the moment. 🙂
