Good for families

Be aware of a couple of things.

We have stayed here twice while en route to sites further afield. As a stop off it’s a great location. On both occasions we noticed several commercial vehicles on site, and from talking to other caravaners it seems that some of the caravaners/ motorhome users are basing themselves here whilst working in the area. (why else would you have sign written Transit sized vehicles with either a motorhome or caravan with different reg plates on?) It seems that a lot of vans are empty on a weekend which further suggest this to be the case. Wasn’t there once a club rule about commercial vehicles only being allowed on site in certain circumstances? Site is very well kept and as you come to expect from the Club. The wardens are excellent.

As the owner of a VW Transporter T5 "commercial vehicle" and a twin axle caravan I feel I can comment on your observations.

I have owned volvo estates and big 4x4's as commonly used by club members in the past and found that most of the time they are just too big and uneconomical for every day use. My daily car is a small economical VW Polo.

My "commercial vehicle" is without doubt the best tow car I have ever owned. Yes I can use it for work during the week but when towing it comes into its own. It is very stable at motorway speeds and returns around 30mpg when towing.

I can put all of my caravan equipment in the back along with bikes and surf boards etc. 

Yes I get funny looks from some members but hey each to their own. I don't judge other people's life choices so don't judge a book by its cover.

As for people working in the area I don't really see the problem. Surely this means the site will be nice and quiet during the day for you. If people are paying to stay surely it is entirely up to them what they choose to do with their day.

From past experience staying on various sites I find the "workers" are some of the cleanest, tidiest, considerate and quietest people on site. 

At the end of the day we are all members of the same club.

I’ve come across a lot of commercial type vans on sites and I guess they are club members.  None of these folk have misbehaved or made a nuisance of themselves so no problem.  If I’m by myself on site you may well observe me leaving the site in my CRV before 7am and returning after 6pm, what am I doing......
