This is a little gem of a CL, as are its owners!
Access for caravans and motorhomes to the CL is good but you do need to follow the directions in the handbook or website as sat navs have taken visitors to other addresses in the past.
The CL is level, but you may need to move a little back and forth to be perfectly level. We have achieved level without ramps etc. The surface is grass, the soil is very porous so even after heavy rain it drains and dries very quickly. Along one side and at the far end are water, TV and grey waste points. The EHUs (10 amp) are via two posts centrally located. Pitch next to the water post and you will have a fully serviced pitch. Pitching elsewhere is fine but you won't benefit from the TV and water points being next to the outfit. That said David, the owner, will loan you an aerial lead to reach the TV point and even the ball valve and hose for your aquaroll. Rubbish disposal is via screened off dustbins which are emptied on a near daily basis. The Elsan point is one of the best I have ever seen on a CL, it is a match the Club's own ones.
There is an information kiosk containing leaflets, books, DVDs and walks for you to borrow. A local caravan business has placed for sale a few items such as toilet chemicals should you run out.
David is charming and an absolute oracle on local history, information and events. If you need him he is there, but never intrusive. Ever ready to help too.
A big bonus for us are nearby attractions. Bury St Edmunds is an easy drive away, Newmarket not much further. Thetford Forest is nearby with a Go Ape. Brandon Forest is closer. A tip is to park at Brandon Forest and ride your bikes to Thetford Forest, saves on car park fees though there is still a modest fee at Brandon.
In Mildenhall you will find a Sainsbury's and a couple of fuel stations plus an assortment of shops. In nearby Brandon are Tesco and Aldi.
The big draw for us (though not for all) are the two air bases, Lakenheath and Mildenhall. Both can be busy but generally have set times and if the wind is blowing one way you wouldn't even know they are there, however if blowing the other way you will see and hear them. They tend to leave and arrive in waves so not a constant presence. RAF Lakenheath has a free of charge public viewing area and RAF Mildenhall has a couple of pay to view areas.
In summary, good access, brilliant owners and a site ideal for the novice through to the most experienced. The price is the price, no extras for awning, dogs etc. Plenty to see and do nearby too, or stay on site and watch the aviators whether they be metal or feathery!
