Fantastic site but avoid in the summer

Firstly, it needs to be said that this is a lovely site, amongst the nicest we've stayed at. The wardens we dealt with were so lovely and helpful and kept the site in great shape. The facilities in the newer toilet block are the nicest I have encountered at a CC site. However, I would suggest some negatives. 1) The play area. There is a lovely park for smaller children (under 8s) which is great. However, next to this is a caged basketball court which really causes a lot of problems. The basketball court attracted a lot of older children and teenagers. Unfortunately, these teenagers had no regard for the small children playing in the park and were heard swearing loudly and generally being a little aggressive. This meant that we had to keep our little ones away from the park. I don't know if it was just bad timing but there happened to be a couple of famililies who were happy for their teenagers to swear and act inappropriately all hours of the day. The parents would also smoke in this area too. It was really unpleasant and nothing like I've ever experienced at other CC sites. 2) The location. The park itself is lovely but Brean is an absolute hell-hole - a simple drive through the village (which is home to a large Pontins complex) was enough to put us off ever stopping there. Weston is similar but not as bad. We wondered if the park's proximity to Brean was why there seemed to be families who didn't respect the facilities as much as we are used to at other CC sites. That said, the National Trust centre at Brean Downs is definitely worth a visit. So all things considered, we would not return to this site unless as a stop off to Cornwall.
