Good for ramblers
This is an excellent CL for ramblers, close to the beginning of a number of walks. The CL also has a drying room for wet coats and boots and there are washing facilities if needed. We stayed over a fairly miserable weather weekend and found the drying room to be very useful. The welcome to the site was very friendly and informative. Shower, toilets and washing up facilities are basic but very clean. The downside of the CL is that the lay-by pitches (one in particular) mean that you are pretty much pitched up at the side of a road and we had a couple of hairy moments as cars squeezed past us. There is ample room to site a couple of proper pitches off the road and so I'm unsure why this lay-by arrangement is in place. The shower does not have any heating and as it was cold when we were there, we didn't use it. Finally, the extraction/boiler noise from the leisure centre can be a bit annoying. I can imagine more so in the summer if you were planning to sit outside. On balance though this is a really good CL and the fact that it was full during a January weekend probably speaks for itself.
