just returned from this site, booked to visit relatives in the area. Disappointed with the site as there were a few issues which spoilt our break there:  1. Road noise. Continuous and intrusive. We know the area and realised that the A1 was adjacent, but still feel the site details underestimate the intrusion. 2. Noisy party. We complained to the Warden about the noise made by a party occupying a group of tents directly behind our pitch. This included noisy music and shouting until around 3.00am. The Warden told me they come every year for a birthday celebration and when I suggested that we were unwilling to go over and ask them to quieten down due to their drunken state, told me I should have done as they always offer anyone a drink! When I told the Warden I was more interested in going to sleep than drink at that time in the morning, she reluctantly said she would speak to the tent party about the noise if she saw them. Not good customer service! 3. Other campers. Astonished by the lady in the adjacent pitch who allowed her cat on a lead to use our hard standing as a litter tray right by our jockey wheel. 4. Path to Durham Please note that due to its very overgrown state, the path by the riverside to Durham is currently hazardous to use. We appreciate that not all of these problems are within the Clubs control. Out of peak season, we may have enjoyed our visit more.
