Good for families

Big site with great facilities. Great for families but go to a smaller site or a CL if you want piece & quite (as you won’t get it here)!!!

Extremely good location, excellent facilities which are well maintained and very clean. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I didn’t experience the problem of barking dogs that some other people have reported. There were a number of dogs on site but the owners seemed to have them under control. Plenty of dog waste bins dotted around the site. Good site if you want to take a dog with you. I messed up by going to this large, family orientated site during the school holidays (so my fault really) but I do wish that parents would keep their children under control. It was extremely noisy, with constant screaming from kids who were totally out of control. Bearing in mind the 5 mph site speed limit around the one way system, children were literally racing on bikes and scooters, going the WRONG WAY round the one way system at speeds of up to 15-20mph. I witnessed 2 accidents in the 2 days that I was there:- A kid on a scooter collided with an elderly lady who was trying to pull a aqua roll full of water back to her pitch. Another kid on a bike tried to take the corner way too fast (again going the wrong way round the one way system) and narrowly missed the motorhome service point as they crashed onto the grass by the toilet block. There were also several near misses:- As I was driving to my pitch I had children riding bikes dangerously close to the caravan, holding onto the caravan to get a tow around the camp site (“Back To The Future” style) and trying to overtake in my blind spot. I had children riding behind the caravan as I was trying to reverse it onto the pitch. There were a couple of occasions where children ran out in front of the car while driving around the site. I wasn’t the only one. I witnessed several other drivers come close to having head on collisions with kids on bikes & scooters. It felt like the site rules were not being enforced. To be fair it is really down to the parents (as opposed to the camp site) to keep their kids under control. It was a bit like the Wild West of camp sites. Like I said, I should really have avoided the school holidays or gone to a smaller CL. Lesson learned for next time. That still doesn’t mitigate the safety concerns of this apparent lack of control and/or enforcement of the rules. I know you are on holiday but you do travel with children, please keep them under control!!!

Very true.

What bothers me more than anything is the total lack of respect that these kids have.

They only just missed the poor woman (who was probably in her 60s/70s) but hit the aqua roll that she was pulling causing them to fall off their bike in the middle of the road. They just picked themself up, got back on their bike and rode off. They didn’t even say sorry! I was totally shocked.

Fortunately she was ok but that isn’t the point.

At the risk of sounding like my grand-father, I would never have got away with that when I was a kid.

The next day, I saw one of the parents try to drive a van the wrong way round the one way system as they couldn’t be bothered to go the proper direction, but they ended up having to reverse when they came head to head with a car towing a caravan. It’s no surprise that the kids are running riot if that’s the role model that they are looking up to!
