This was our third stay at Broomfield this year. We find it convenient for visiting places nearby or just for staying put and having a rest. We like the feeling of space in the open area and being able to stroll around the site through the wooded area.The wardens are friendly and keep the site very well.. When we arrived this time, we were surprised to find that the entrance has been gated. We can understand that some members might feel more secure with a locked gate at night ,but after many years staying at this site, we could not see why we now have the inconvenience of getting out of the car to open a gate each time we entered and left the site.. Hopefully others will feel like us and the gate can be left open during the daytime in future.
