Rude staff

This site is in an excellent location, but unfortunately we will not be visiting again. We witnessed 2 different staff members aggressively shouting at customers, and we found the receptionist to be unhelpful and condescending when attempting to locate 2 pitches together for a family group. The site is advertised as being suitable for dogs, however you are not permitted to exercise your dog anywhere on site, and your dog will be expected to hold their wee until they have passed the gates.

Great Weekend

Just returned from a weekend with the family and we all enjoyed it. It was busy when we arrived. 7pm on friday night but we managed to find a great pitch, Maintenance man on site is brilliant and a great asset to the site. Helpful and very good with the children. Extra safety precautions they have put in are excellent

Lovely weekend

I am writing this review to thank Al and his wife and the rest of the team for making our stay here from the 16/07/20 to 19/07/20 Great these wardens are working so hard to make everyone’s stay comfortable, they don’t get the recognition they deserve, having to cope with the new Covid cleaning, adding to they’re already busy day, then having to put up with some of our quality members abusing the facilities and using the showers Cubicles as a toilet ,come on people for goodness sake grow up you’re suppose to be adults, yet something else for the wardens to deal with, above all this the site was very well kept and run like a well oiled machine, we will definitely without doubt be returning to this site in the future as we were made to feel very welcome.

Disappointed!

This site is half way between all our family members, 3 families, 3 caravans and 3 sets of CAMC membership - and so would be a wonderful place to get together. This was the first opportunity, as with any, for us to get together, for a while, and we felt, should be a lovely place to meet. How disappointed we were! Not to be able to arrange to get 2 pitches together even though we did everything we could to arrive together. We were shouted at to move our car (whilst setting up). Whilst I understand that everything is very new and very strange for everyone at the moment, the site was busy and the staff were obviously very stressed their attitude to us was inexcusable! We did not use the faciities on site so I cannot comment on them. We had booked 4 nights but left after 2 and will not be going back again. So sad.

Great site for touring

The staff were very friendly at this site. The site is easily accessible from the A14 and the facilities were clean and tidy. The Beefeater at the end of the lane was great too, nice food and ideal on a cold night, a nice touch with lights along the walkway too. We will definately use it again if we are in that area.

Our 3rd stay

Stayed there 3 times as it's so convenient from the A1. I already reviewed this site previously but need to add a comment. Great site, great facilities, friendly wardens etc BUT having a drive over grey water disposal point on the way out is lacking. Due to the one way system, we had to leave the site with a tankful of waste water. The CMC needs to address this. Apart from that, we will always use this site on the way down south and back

Great stay but lacking for the children

This was our second time staying at this site, same time last year so was easy to compare. This year the site was a lot more quiet than when we stayed the previous year and had the choice of pitches. We were able to pitch up by the small park which meant I was happier letting my children go over to the park together. Unfortunately the park on the main side had gone down hill with a distinct lack of attention to its maintenance and upkeep. There were items missing which I can only assume had broken and never been replaced. I was aware from my brother who had stayed later in the year that there was a second play park on the other side which was new and much larger from photos I had seen. I had asked when we arrived whether we could walk onto the second side to use the park which was closed to stay on, but we were told it was closed. I think the site needs to invest in the play park on the main side if they close the other side during the quieter months. There were plenty of children running around and cycling, turning up to use the play park and walking away disappointed. I don’t think the site should rely on Nene Park to supply the better play parks which are walking distance but require the whole family to go. The site is good quality and clean as expected by the CAMC and this is down to the work put in by the wardens. I think the pitches need some work to upgrade them being open all year round means they are in constant use. Even a fresh batch of shingle on top to freshen it all up. We will return as it’s a handy site only being 45minutes away. I hope the review about the park is taken notice of by the CAMC and the park is upgraded for next year. If anyone likes a good Chinese, I’d recommend Tasty House in Orton Waterville which is only 2 minute drive from the site, generous portions of meat and veg in the dishes and really tasty.

Great site

We come here several times a year , great site , lovely wardens , toilets are always immaculate , the only criticism is the hard standings really need re doing , when we were there in January 2020 there was a lot of pitches that got flooded .There is a Tesco Express in walking distance and Orton Meares which has a few shops and a good fish and chip shop just round the corner from QD , a pub just down the road and a garden centre which does a good lunch . A great park with some really good walks for the dog and at least 3 play areas for children , a good cafe reasonably priced everything for young and old .

Another good stay for us

We stay here for the good walks, given the proximity to the country park; for the peace and quiet and having good facilities nearby. We visited again in January 2020 and again found it to be just as enjoyable, the wardens just as good and the shop as welcome. We'll be back for sure. I just wish there were some fully serviced pitches available. That would make it a super site!
