Disappointed

We had a 3 night stay here in September. On arrival, I thought that we were back in the 1970s at a butlins holiday camp. People wandering about everywhere, and a general feeling of disarray. The site was full, and the only pitch that we could find was a non hard hard standing! Basically a patch of mud with very little stone covering. The pitch was small and had no defined area, as such. The adjacent pitches were also small, and when a European unit and a large unit with large awning arrived on the day after and pitched up, we felt very squashed in. The pitches opposite were better spaced, having just 3 in the bay, where there were 4 on the side that we were on. The road noise and also noise at night from what sounded like a quarry, was very annoying. This site has a lovely enclosed dog walk, but you have to go past the Glamping area, which basically looks like a homeless families settlement. The walk into Moreton in Marsh was easy and only about 5 minutes, but nothing much to see there..not what you expect of a Cotswolds town. Nearby Batsford arboretum is well worth a visit. The visiting Vinnies Mac n Cheese van is a lovely addition, and the food was delicious. Didn’t rate the fish and chips. The wardens here seemed a bit despondent, and the only ones who spoke to us, were the ones who were near the glamping units, and to be honest, i would hazard a guess that they are local people, bought in to manage that area, rather than the whole site. We really do not feel the necessity for the CAMC to have these glamping pods/ safari tents etc on sites. They would be better off using the space for more pitches, of a decent size and good quality. We can have visitors on site, if we must, anyway, so surely they could stay in nearby accommodation . With more people now buying caravans and motorhomes, meaning that the sites are always full, surely this should be the priority for the club, as per its name? The Caravan and Motorhome Club.

We also cannot understand why the club is going in the direction of glamping pods  etc when a lot of sites clearly need capital investment, some of the sites we have visited this season are clearly below the standard you should expect for the cost per night. Perhaps the club should conduct a survey to find out what the feepaying members actually want or expect.
