Good for families

Great site spoilt

First thing to be said is what really lovely wardens: friendly, welcoming, helpful and appropriately embarrassed by the behaviour of some visitors. We arrived half an hour early after a nightmare journey round the M25, and were very politely asked to come back later, reassured we would be dealt with rapidly. We found a place to park up, at no inconvenience to local residents, just 25 metres from the entrance. In the next few minutes a convoy of caravans arrived, blocking the road both ways, ignoring us (surely waiting to enter) and ignored all pleas to go away. We now found ourselves behind half a dozen and, though we were admirably checked in by apologetic staff, now left with little choice of pitch. Hey ho. The facilities were spotless and we were helped with local cycle routes. On our first night we tolerated the children screeching in the park until dark - it's a family site and half term so we sucked it up. But the infestation of dogs and their incessant yapping was tedious and I really don't fancy using grass pitches which have been liberally peed on by dogs - I saw it happening. During our second night, at 2am, a vehicle alarm went off and woke us. It happens. No big deal. But the couple in the trailer tent next to us took up a two hour long conversation so loud and constant I was reluctant to complain for fear it was a domestic! (It wasn't - they told my wife the next morning that it's an issue being in what is basically a tent! Talk quietly then. On departure, the driver of a Moho emptying waste water at the services, moved forward a bit when he'd finished, walked off and left two of us behind waiting, twiddling their thumbs until he deigned to return so we could empty! My simple point is: this is a nice site but our stay was spoilt by a lot of selfishness. Parents, check your kids please, dog owners don't inflict their mess and noise on others and campers just have a thought for others' good time as well as your own, please.
