Very Wet June holiday 2019

We have been to this site many years running always in June or sept. The site gets very busy and crowded during school and bank holidays. It is a basic typical club site clean and tidy and just across from the main beach costal road which in places is narrow and bendy. The present wardens are fairly new and pleasant. The approach to the site incurs a fairly sharp right hand turn into the entrance and a even more sharp left hand turn on exit on to a main beach costal road. The site has two wooden gates to the entrance, the Left hand one always being closed which made entrance and exit a one way manoeuvre. ie only one vehicle could leave or enter at the same time. This caused us a nasty accident when trying to leave the site whilst a post office van was trying to squeeze into the site at the same time. Ie. as we turned sharp left on leaving the rear of the caravan swung out and hit the side of the post office van trying to get in to the site at the same time. There was nothing else we could do to avoid it. Although we complained to the club directly and the site was inspected by a club area manager we were told the gate would remain closed to STOP speeding motorists entering the site. ( namely the post office van) To our surprise this year on entering the site both gates to the site were left wide open and this was the case for our entire visit morning noon and night. Had the club not been so obstinate and awkward several years back regarding the gate we would never had our accident. I find the Caravan and Motorhome club can be very stubborn and down right awkward when it wants to be taking very little notice of club members views. The site has not changed in the 10 or more years we have been going to it although I was told by one of the present wardens that the site has recently had the toilet and shower block renovated with new water pumps fitted to improve the water pressure. I have news for the club you have wasted your money as the water pressure to the showers and sinks is still NOT good especially at busy times.

Comment from the Community Manager:

I’m sorry to have learnt of your disappointing stay. The decision to keep both gates open was to improve traffic management, this decision was taken by our current Regional Manager and seems to be working well for the site, though I am sorry to have learnt of the incident you experienced some time ago. The new toilet and shower block has been warmly received by members and feedback about these has been positive, I am sorry this wasn’t your experience and hope despite this and a wet stay you will consider a future stay when planning trips to this beautiful area of Cornwall.
