Suburban site with suburban problems
The site is a typical Caravan and Motorhome Club with all their usual standards, which are always impeccable.
The toilet block was out of action due to a fire. I am not sure how the fire started. I should have asked really. It was not a problem that the toilet block was closed, as we were informed about this by the wardens in advance.
There are a surprising amount of things to do in the vicinity so whatever your taste for leisure activities you will be able to find plenty to suit your personal tastes.
There are some woods which are great for walking dogs right by the site. I did notice some evidence of rough sleeper camps, although one could not see them from the main paths.
We arrived for the Spring Bank weekend. Next door to the site is a hospital and a cricket club. On the Sunday there must have been a party on at the cricket club, as there was loud music until late into the evening. It was really loud until 10.30pm and they must have shut some of the doors then, as it was quieter until the party finished at 11pm. Then everyone began to leave rather loudly, as they had all had a skin-full by then. Just before midnight there were fireworks from elsewhere in the town. Whilst the party at the cricket club annoyed me slightly I think if I had had young children with me I would have had stronger feelings.
Would I come back again? Probably, as there is a lot to discover here but possibly not a bank holiday weekend.
