EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

We have been members of the club for 26 years. We have just returned from the site after 2 weeks, our previous visit being September 2016, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I am afraid the photograph on the site page is well out of date and that is not the site one visits now. There has been absolutely NO ground maintenance work carried out, the hedges, bushes and whatever else is growing up through, i.e. fruit bushes are a disgrace. The white stones on the hardstanding was always an attraction as, even on a miserable day, it cheered things up but the amount and size of weeds now growing and being left on these is unbelievable. Several pitch posts are nearly covered by the height and amount of weeds growing in and around. The grass on the site and particularly between and behind the caravans is covered in clover and when sitting out, and in particular, if dogs are tied up there, it is certainly not relaxing to watch the dogs jump up in an attempt to catch the well known "Queen" bees which were in abundance. On arrival yes, all looks fine as one of the female wardens was regularly seen planting up bedding plants in bags which hung around the entrance and in front of the toilet block. Given the amount of visits by us over a 30 year period and continually returning is testament of what we thought of this, what I often described as a "beautiful" site and highly recommended it but having paid over £300 really for the use of a "tired", as already described in another review, toilet and shower block and electricity daily for a few hours only, it is certainly not worth staying there now. I had a lengthy conversation with the Senior Warden and pointed out all these issues to him. He listened and was very polite to me but without going into detail he pointed out to me that he is at the bottom of the ladder and would be the last to know what is going on at the site. One point he made was that he had not to cut the grass below 2.1/2 inches and that was an order from above. However, that very day while we were out the grass behind our van was cut. As already mentioned being dog owners involves a lot of walking and locally we were advised that the council is hoping to build 280 houses in the field behind the site. An owner of a home in that area had been offered a price for his house some time ago and just minutes from the front gate of the site there is a house for sale with "Development Opportunities" for possibly 7 houses BUT this was refused due to insufficient access route. Is there something the CAMHC are not letting members know that this site may not be around in the near future and it is being run down and into a state of disrepair. If that is the case the fees should be adjusted accordingly for those still wishing to stay there. The Scottish school holidays had just commenced while we were there and due to the vacant pitches I asked the warden how busy it was and he said it was picking up and about 60%.
