Insane access road
We love this site so it was one of our 1st visits booked for after lockdown. Didn't look at any reviews before we left as we know the site, or so we thought. Oh dear that was a mistake. We arrived at 12.52 and thought its ok we're only 8 minutes early. We were just about to turn onto the access road when we were flagged down by a car who told us to wait as there were several cars all leaving. Trouble was there were parked cars all down the side of the road so all the leaving cars had to squeeze between us and the parked vehicles (dread to think if it was another large rig coming, not sure how we would have done it). last car came through and then we entered the the new road that not only is very narrow but lined with caravan killing boulders! Just the right height to jam under the chassis if you have to move even fractionally to the side of this very narrow road. To make matters worse when entering you cannot see if anything is coming until you are already committed. Even negotiating this dog leg bend was fraught as the boulders are lined up both sides. There are passing points, fine for cars orl motorhomes but in no way are big enough for car and caravan, so if two of you are entering and leaving it makes for gridlock. And yes they ask that all should depart by 12 and all arrivals after 1pm however this doesn't help if you want to go out in the afternoon in your car and there are lots of arrivals you are kind of stuck at the site at busy times. Another ridiculous thing about a road purposely built for large vehicles is there's no pavement so even walking up or down this road is fraught with danger. At places there is literally no where to go to get out of the way of any vehicle unless willing to climb a totally weed covered ridiculous bank of earth!!!!! I realise the club is just a tenant but surely they could get the collage to have these ridiculous boulders removed. or the dirt bank made smaller to make the road wider. Even just a little drift on the back end of a large twin wheel rig that we have could have spelt disaster. The only other option to rescue the problem would be traffic lights that could be operated by the wardens.
Sadly until this road is sorted we won't be returning. As I said it's not just the arriving and leaving with your rig but just arriving and leaving in general with the car at times there were traffic jams just to leave.
The site as alway was lovely. Although I was surprised there were no hand sanitisers at the shared water/service areas.
If you are going to this site and you have a big caravan I would recommend sending a passenger down to the bottom of the road before setting off to make sure nothing is coming the other way and then ring to tell you when to enter.
