My husband made us leave home ridiculously early to avoid the bank holiday traffic (he was right!) so we arrived near the site about 9 am. We stopped in a layby for a cup of tea and prepared for a long wait ... I telephoned the site to ask if would be convenient for us to arrive early on such a busy weekend. The warden was very friendly - asked me to hold for a second while he checked if there were spaces available and then confirmed that it was okay for us to come to site and we received a very warm welcome. For the rest of our stay, the wardens were unobtrusive but happy to help if we had any questions. There a little shop with all the essentials, newspapers could be ordered in and the information hut was excellent (and up to date!). The construction work had stopped for the weekend so there was no disruption from them, there was however unnecessary noise from several barking dogs whose owners seemed to delight in making their little darlings bark more! The site was obviously full for whole weekend but we didn't feel crammed in and the children around the site were well-behaved and very polite.
