easter stay

Our first holiday on our own and in caravan. Had a error on arrival but once managers realised we weren't experience helped us. We had 4 large mutts so we went into a quite corner boggie but it had rained. The showers and toilets have seen worse, but as the manager are new they are working to get site facilities better. The only thing I would say is if possible a field to take dogs in as the lane outside the site is extremely busy. We will come back but not where boggy maybe a hard standing.. it was like waggons ho on Friday never seen so many vans and motothomes. But so glad I wasn't on the surrounding sites. Burnham on sea was overflowing

Crufts camp site!

Good points: Lovely friendly wardens, clean tidy site, didn't use the showers so cant comment on that as others have. Bad points: Cars and especially motor homes speeding on the site! come on drivers what part of 5mph do you have problems with, especially when children are around. And the place is overrun with dogs, I don't mind dogs, but not in that quantity!

Brief stay over Easter

Arrived Good Friday. Really busy. Had booked well in advance., Large heavy Motorhome but as normal cannot book a hard standing. Yet hard standings often occupied by small Caravans. Seems to me that it would make sense to have some reserved for Motorhomes. Could avoid potential problems. That would have to be a Club decision. Arrived just after midday and no hard standings available. Potential problem proved to be the case when trying to leave despite no rain. Wardens a great help in getting us off the pitch. Thanks again to them. Facilities on site a little lacking with the size and occupancy level of the site over Easter, especially as two thirds of the showers in the second block were out of action. These things happen, although would not have been such a problem if the facilities had been a little larger to accommodate the numbers visiting.

Good but going down the pan

We have been coming to Hurn Lane at Easter for many years now and have always had a great time but unfortunately over the last few years the condition of the toilets has been going down the pan. It appears that on peak days the loo's can't handle the load and block up on a regular basis so come on Caravan Club give them a refurbishment!

Hurn Lane

We stayed at Hurn Lane over the Easter weekend and I was really looking forward to it after reading some of the reviews. It had been wet leading upto the weekend and we ended up on a grass pitch which was very soft and not really suitable for motorhomes. There are 2 toilet blocks on site, the one nearer the reception area are much nicer than the second block which was more dated and was down to 1 shower cubicle by Saturday morning. There is a small theme park near the camp site which was pretty loud on the Friday night but was much quieter for the remainder of the weekend. All in all, I wouldn't visit again especially at the nightly rate. Maybe we've just been spoilt at other club site. It seemed like there was a lack of information about the site given upon arrival but it was a busy weekend I guess. The site is well located for the beach and has good bus links just a short walk from the site.

Not up to Caravan club standards

We arrived 1st April until 7th April. Clearly as the other reviews there is a major water supply problem at this site. Due to high occupation when the showers were fully occupied people using the wc did not have sufficient water to flush toilets leaving them in a disgracefull state for other people. The club need to review this site facility water supplies urgently. We will not be returning at any busy times in the future Keith J. Stafford

Not the best - could do with some improvement

We have just returned from a 6 night break over Easter. We arrived on the Wed prior to Good Friday and I am so pleased we did as it filled up quickly from Thursday. We got a lovely large hard-standing pitch, all the hard-standing pitches seemed great. They were just opening the grass pitches the following day after the grass was cut. There are 2 shower/toilet blocks on the site, one located within the hard-standings and one in the grassed area. I have quite a few things to say about these: 1. The are tired and in need of upgrading, even the new block could do with some tender loving! 2. Once the site had filled up, they became very dirty very quickly. I hate having to clean facilities before I use them. I know the wardens didn't dirty them but surely they should keep an eye on the cleanliness throughout the day. 3. Toilet paper ran out regularly, very annoying if you have already been!!!! 4. They kept being put out of order (toilets and showers, even the washing up room flooded!) This just goes to prove they are in need of updating. 5. The cleaning times are ridiculous. The closed the hard-standing block from 1000 - 1100 hours, surely this is the busiest time for them to be used (not a problem for me personally as I am an early riser). The other block closed from 11 - 12 I think. On the last couple of days of our stay, only one ladies block was open, then they closed it for cleaning 1030 - 1200. Again this is quite early as people do like a lie in but the other thing is once people have packed up to leave (by 1200), the last thing they do is go to the loo before they hit the road on their long journey. Not at this site they don't, they can't!! The site itself is quiet what let it down was the noise from the neighbouring caravan/holiday park, it was so loud throughout the day and into the early hours, I felt sorry for those with pitches along the neighbouring fence. As the below review has mentioned there are badgers on the site. As much as I love animals and like to see them they can be a problem. I was awoken at 0100 in the morning by my dog going mad barking and growling (sorry neighbours). I got up to see if we had an intruder and found out we did, a badger in the awning. It had got through a little gap, luckily without causing damage. It had managed to knock over the dry dog food and open the container. There it was brazen as hell munching away, it came back again at 0600 in the morning. I quickly built a badger barricade that day and it never came back. Other down side is the lack of dog walk. The lane outside is find during the day but dangerous at night as it is unlit. It is only a 10 minute walk to the beach though. You have to plan your times to catch the water as it is dangerous to walk down to it when it is low tide. We won't be back, but only because we've been and done it! I'm not a big fan of the area either.

Unwanted visitor

Just got back from an Easter break at this site. The site was well laid out and plenty of pitches to choose from. Although we had a good stay and the weather was kind to us there were a couple of problems, the toilets were constantly blocked and on a couple of occasions they were unusable. Also we had an unwanted visitor in our awning during the night it was a badger who overturned our dustbin and pulled out all the items in there ate all the discarded food it was strewn all over the awning floor. Apparently it has been there for some time surely it would be better to let people know about this as if we had known we would not have left any food waste in the bin. I am glad we didn't hear it as they can be quite aggressive if cornered.
