We used this site for the first time as a 3 night stopover on our way home from the south coast. We have previously used Wyatts Covert (many times) and Ashridge. We were greeted with the words "as you're early you'll be able to have a hardstanding as most arrivals today will have to be put on grass". Arrival time at this site is 12 noon and we arrived after this time having planned our journey accordingly. We hoped this was the warden trying to be funny so we gave him the benefit of the doubt but a more friendly welcome would have been appreciated. However, this was one of the most disappointing sites of the very many we have visited on the Club's network. As previously stated in other reviews the shower pressure was very poor, many hardstandings were covered in weeds and there was a general feeling that things were not up to usual CC standards. The noise on the site was virtually constant - traffic and aircraft were expected being close to London but tractors and grass mowing all added to the general clamour. This was exacerbated by one warden using a leafblower which put leaves into piles for the wind to then blow them about again - a complete waste of time !! Early mornings were also disturbed due to people going off to work, obviously using the site for this purpose. We also had people cutting through our pitch walking very close to our caravan so they could save themselves a few yards walking to the facility block - we were the end pitch right by the roadway! Although probably a great location for visiting London this is not a site we will be rushing to return to.
