Good for families

Peaceful site.......Normally.

Have visited this site many times as we enjoy the quiet tranquil atmosphere. Unfortunately on this occasion we experienced the worst time we’ve had in 16 years of using Caravan Club sites. We arrived on Tuesday and everything was fine until Friday, when the lovely tranquility we’d been experiencing was broken. Three separate families arrived together pitching next to us, between them they had 6 children. From the minute they arrived the kids were running very close to our van shouting and being very loud, then the ball came out, once again only feet from our van. We spoke to the relief warden who was not at all sympathetic, until we said about playing ball games close to our van. She sent her husband to speak with the people, this stopped the ball game. Worse was to come however, out came the scooters and also a battery powered stand on set of wheels, they were going back and forth past our van shouting to each other, then racing around the site, much faster than the 5 mile an hour limit, the relief wardens who were sat outside their van were watching all of this but seemed happy for it to continue. At one point there was a loud crash outside our van, the young lad riding on the wheels had lost control and the wheels ran into our satellite stand. At around 9pm we heard loud shouting so went to see what was happening, a member had evidently spoken to one of the kids as he’d been riding his scooter very close to his van. The children’s parents got very irate with the member, one of them even threatening violence towards him. He spoke with the relief warden the next day but said he wasn’t really interested. Fortunately the 3 families were out for most of Saturday so piece and quite resumed, at least until Sunday morning when we experienced the same again, scooters, battery powered wheels being ridden very close to our van and around the site very quickly. By midday thankfully the 3 families had left. By this time the relief wardens had left and the main wardens were back so we went to tell them about our terrible weekend, we were waisting our time. We know they weren’t around and obviously couldn’t do anything about what we’d had to put up with over the weekend, but they showed no sympathy at all, infact all we got from them was ‘well this is a family friendly site’. When we told them about the battery powered wheels being used they said ‘well there not allowed on site’ ???? We left the site on Tuesday feeling very unhappy that both the relief wardens and the main wardens were totally unsympathetic to the points we raised.

We stayed on this site on the weekend in question and where amazed to read the comments.We never had any reason to think that the children where anything other than well behaved and in the control of their parents.I am certain that the relief and regular wardens dealt with any problem in a professional manner.

Perhaps Pitsford ought consider an adults only site as he is the one that seems to have a problem.

Well 1jackrussel for a start you wouldn’t have experienced the same as we did. The area on the site we were pitched is like a small cul-de-sac and the only vans in that cul-de-sac were the the 3 families each in their own caravans/motorhome and us. Also how you can comment on the wardens response when you weren’t there to hear it, is a mystery to me.  And as for your comment that we are the ones that have a problem  I can only hope that one day you experience the same as we did that weekend, my only regret is we won’t be there to see it. Lastly we’ve had no need to visit an adults only site in 16 years of caravanning and don’t intend to consider one now as what we experienced on this occasion was not the norm for Caravan Club Sites.
