We have used Bunree Caravan site on numerous occasions for short breaks and long stays over the past 18 years, as a couple or with children and most recently grandchildren. It has been a great place for relaxing or as a location for exploring the surrounding area and numerous mountains etc. It probably rates amongst the best locations the Club can offer. As generally found on any club site, the Wardens here have always presented as helpful, friendly, hardworking and suitably assertive when required. However a few problems are evident. 1) In recent years it is becoming more apparent that there is an increasing amount of dogs being brought on site with some campers having in my opinion a ridiculous number. I appreciate that specifically is none of my business and appreciate dogs under control should not be a problem, but the issue I have is the clear disregard shown by a high number of campers for the “Site rules” applicable to dog owners. The so called specific “Dog Walk” area is not being used solely as instructed. At any time of day or night there is no shortage of dogs being walked around the site and allowed to do what dogs do?? Generally on the large grass areas, grass between hard standings, Water & Waste service points, peoples awnings/property etc.. I have witnessed dogs roaming loose or tethered on a long leash doing their business around the owners pitch and adjacent grass/pitch, with the owners unaware of the mess their dog (dogs) has made or perhaps possibly not bothered? It is also apparent at night numerous dog owners are just letting dogs out for a quick run around “etc.”, before going to bed. This problem surely creates the potential for cross contamination and possible health issues, making the grass areas at least, less than ideal for children to sit or play (Even when “solids” are picked up there is still going to be some residual waste). 2) The speed limit is in place for very good reason, yet the number of people driving around the site well above the speed limit is astonishing, especially so when young children can clearly be seen nearby. More evident when some new arrivals are “competing” to secure a good pitch. 3) The soiled state the Toilets/shower block is often left in by some after the wardens do their best to get them clean is unacceptable. These people should have more self-respect and consideration for others. I would be surprised if people conducted themselves in the same manner within their own homes??
