Or, just write a formal complaint via enquiries@camc.com rather than using social media.

Posted on 27/06/2023 20:16 by nelliethehookerHave either or both of you, NMSmith and H1UBS, written a review for the respective sites on their web pages, and on Trustpilot, highlighting your dissatisfaction with the state of the sites during your stays? The club is more likely to take notice of the reviews on there than comments on here unfortunately, although your posts on here do warn others of what they might expect when visiting those sites.

No Mow May is an initiative that has been running for several years and participants are increasing according to the data. It is important as ‘we’ have lost almost 97% of flower rich meadows and grasslands since the 1970’s.
Consequently that vital food needed by pollinators, like bees and butterflies has been lost.
Not all grassed areas are suitable for attention, or lack of it, it’s about finding those areas which can be left and then training those who maintain these areas to be more savvy in these regards and skilled in doing so. Being a nimby is not helpful nor is using the initiative to excuse laziness or a means of cutting fuel bills. What our ‘world’ needs is a greater understanding and tolerance and more of the positive corrective actions many are increasingly exploring. Im sure many in the CaMC know what is right and educating/training ground staff in where and how best to achieve the best results. Savings on fuel, if there are any, should be invested in helping habitats recover and maintained them. 👍

Mickysf...... I am as much an Ecco Warrior as you, but having just left Putts Corner after our usual annual stay for the past 30 years I have to say I have never seen such a decline in a Club Site in all my years. It is no wonder the site was only about a quarter full in July. I am all for rewilding, but not for reweeding on pitches and cobwebbs in toilets. Even though certain insects will benefeit from such things. Quite a few people on site remarked how scruffy and unkept everywhere looked and that they intended to complain to the club on their return home and would have done in the usual review book but this has been removed and no longer available. If this is what the Club think sites should look like and Wardens should behave like, then count me out as it is certainly not for me and my desired holiday format. I might add that I was reluctant to post on CT ever again, but felt the need to express my disappointment with what the Cub considers progress.

Posted on 16/05/2023 12:30 by TakethedogalongPerhaps the Club needs a warning App. Don’t come if you can’t cope with grass, (longer than two inches), if you don’t like birdsong, rabbits, deer, daisies, dandelions, less than perfect lawned edges, uncut shrubs and peace and quiet, etc…….
Sterile, manicured environment? = boring, boring, boring. Not what I got into camping for, sorry. I like my World colourful, as natural as is practical and safe, as full of wildlife as possible. A £10 pair of wellies should be essential camping kit, and copes with most things.

If you touch on the search magnifier top right and type in Putts Corner it will bring up the site name top of the list. Touch / click on that and you will be taken to the old site pages and you can leave your review as you did before.
