Great Location but Poor Maintenance

We have visited Fairoaks at least once per year for the last 7/8 years when we found the site because of it's great location. However, in difference to many other reviews recently posted we do not accept that the site is well maintained. We do not use the general shower block so cannot comment on these facilities. But the hard-standings are absolutely full of weeds and have not been maintained in years with no definition where the edge of the pitch is in many cases. You need to know where to pitch as sadly rain is not uncommon in the west and many pitches flood badly. Whist we were there recently, our nearby toilet waste facility was closed as faulty, it was evident this had been the case for some time and was not remedied within our 5 night stay. Hedges were not trimmed. Finally the grass had not been cut this year, and with no excuse as the ground was dry, with areas near us 5 inches long and too wet most of the time to sit out on. Thus the site generally looked tatty, not the groomed experience you expect on Club sites. So we had a great time off site but not as good on site. Standards appear to be dropping on club sites, whilst there this visit cars parked on grass not hard-standings, dogs were walked of lead, dogs roamed unattended around other members caravans with dogs and members frequently cross occupied pitches. And yet wardens take no action. We have been members since 2005 but are now considering our next renewal. This was our first trip this year, it will be interesting to see if these issues are replicated at other sites.
