SOFT, SLOPING GROUND AND STILL OVERBOOKING
This site is NOT SUITABLE for a big motor home. We arrived in wet conditions and were closely followed by another motor home, number 6! Nobody in at the farm so we tried to pitch. The ground was very soft and wet, with a 2-way slope. No flat spots at all and the hard stands were occupied by small camper vans. We needed our tall ramps but they cut into the grass under our weight and we slid off sideways, with one ramp getting trapped underneath. What a nightmare! At this point the other motor home left, wisely. My husband was lying on the grass in pouring rain trying to jack up the van when the farmer's son drove past and ignored us. I had to go and ask him for help and he admitted that there'd been trouble previously with large motor homes. Eventually managed to move onto a hard stand when camper van left and we'd had some drier weather. Even the hard stands sloped noticeably. We were accused of being inexperienced by a far from friendly Mrs Evans. No apology offered. We've driven 55,000 miles over 9 years, visited numerous CLs and NEVER been expected to pitch on such awful ground. Should it really matter how much experience a visitor has had? A responsible CL owner will know the limitations of their ground and be there to advise a suitable place to pitch. To add insult to injury, the toilet was up a dozen or so stone steps (through a junk room), the satellite leads didn't work, nor the code given for the wifi. A disgraceful set-up which the Club really needs to investigate.
