Disappointed

This was our third trip to Chatsworth and we were eagerly anticipating a great midweek break as before. Unfortunately we arrived late afternoon and this is where the problems arise. We had a choice of 3 remaining awning pitches and we were very disappointed with our pitch in that we had no sunshine at all in the afternoon or evening and a huge crow occupied tree overhung our space. We did get a little sun between the trees at breakfast time. This made us look around to compare what the other pitches were like. It was very galling to see the inequality of space, grass and sun on each pitch. Too many pitches are situated on nothing more than a car park and others are bordered by spacious grass areas. Some are in full sun whilst others are in dank areas completely surrounded by trees. We had no choice but to pitch under a large tree which dripped sap over the awning, car and caravan. Not to mention the copious amounts of crow droppings. The resulting foul sticky mess which we now have to deal with is annoying to say the least. At a cost of around £55 for 2 people I do not think such disparity is acceptable or fair. Poor pitches should be priced accordingly. Who wants to sit surrounded by gravel with next door’s awning almost touching your car for the same price as some lucky person surrounded by a spacious grass bordered, sunny pitch! Chatsworth House and the associated walks were lovely as usual but I doubt we will return to this CAMC site.
