Cirencester Park Caravan Club Site-Beautiful Site, Terrible Access
We echo previous reviews. The access to this site is deplorable, I hasten to add the site has no control of the atrocious way the road is being repaired (or not). It is our second visit the last time was over a Christmas period and whilst the approach road was bad it wasn't anywhere near as bad as on this visit. Approaching vehicles made no allowance for us who were in a Motorhome and point blankly refused to reverse up into a passing place which meant we and another following Motor homer had to negotiate a very narrow and twisty reverse to enable two local drivers in their cars get to wherever they wanted to get to. I won't put into print the expletives that were voiced about us, by these two drivers who obviously didn't appreciate the benefits that Cirencester get from the many visitors that come to this site.
It's such a pity that the stay was tainted by this episode because the site itself is set in beautiful grounds and once pitched the ambiance is amongst the best. We didn't use the facilities this time but from our previous visit remember them to be of the standard that the club expect. The pitches are many and varied and arranged in copses and terraces with trees for shade along with more open pitches. Whether it was just an illusion or because it was very busy but there did seem to be a lot less room between pitched units especially those with large awnings and will fellow campers please stop walking across other guest's pitches and stick to the paths, we haven't experienced this so bad for quite a long time and it may be prudent to point out this no-no to some of the visitors who may not be aware.
It sounds like all I'm reporting is negatives but it wasn't like that really we had a lovely stay. our dogs thoroughly enjoyed making friends and playing ball in their own allocated dog field. The town of Cirencester in typical of the Cotswolds if a bit larger than most. Great selection of eateries, coffee and independent shops. "Yes" we will go back and hopefully the road repairs and approach will be sorted. It's too good a site to be ruined by these uncontrollable events.
