We were looking for a site close to home to try our new caravan. So I decided to book Elmdale, its 5 minutes down the road and a friend of mine used to stay here about 10 years ago. Booking was easy via email with Katy and completed via making a bank transfer. Access to the site is easy, via a long drive then a left turn into the field. I was on a grass pitch with EHU, which was fairly flat and took a minimal amount of leveling. Water taps were plentyful around the site and the Elsan point was away from the pitches and fenced off. The bin was on the entrance to the site. There are a couple of vans which looked like they were perminately pitched, and the guy in the one van was chatty and informative when I arrived. The site is quite but you can hear the occasional car when at night. Studley is within easy walking distance with shops pubs and taphouses. There are also some lovely walks around Spernall and the Heart of England Forest which are within walking distance. If you are looking for a weekend break or a stopover this is ideal and easily reached from junction 3 of the M42 down the A435. As a previous post has stated the hardstanding isn't like the club site hardstanding. Over all I enjoyed it and I would stay again.
