Successful first caravan trip

We were club members some years ago and towed a light trailer tent behind a little 1930's Morris car. We recently upgraded to a 2005 Sprite Firebird Major caravan to use with a modern car and have spent some months refurbishing it. We live only 30 mins from this site and chose it as a safe way to test the outfit for the first time and get used to using it before venturing further afield. Of course, we know the area well and can't recommend Stover highly enough as a base for visiting all that's available. We hadn't realised until we were booking that some sites don't have toilets, but that wasn't an issue for us as we needed to check our own independence. It does mean that even at the height of the school holidays (early August 2021) there weren't many young families. There is little on offer on site for children, but lots locally. So Stover is a peaceful location for relaxing. The grounds are immaculate and maintained daily. There's a small wooded natural area for dog walking on site, and a large country park right next door. It would be good to see some wild flower areas on site to complement the traditional planting. The wifi was better than we expected for Bronze but TV reception was an issue. Our roof mounted omnidirectional antenna failed to pick up an acceptable signal from the site's own booster mast despite retuning so we were unable to use Freeview. The site information suggests turning your aerial towards the mast but of course we can't do that. We may need to upgrade our own system if this problem recurs. We had a very successful and enjoyable few days at Stover. We don't have enough recent experience of other sites to do a comparison but have no complaints whatsoever. If you prefer a smaller, quiet site in pleasant surroundings then this one is recommended.
