When will this site’s facilities be updated?

I’m not a fussy man. Prior to becoming a motor homer, I’ve roughed it in leaking tents, wild camped in remote locations and done things in the woods that bears do. But when I visit a Caravan and Motorhome Club site I don’t expect to have to rough it. I’m not expecting toilet and shower facilities on par with the Dorchester but surely a reasonable flow of water is not too much to ask for. Being able to flush the toilet without waiting half a day for the cistern to fill can hardly be deemed an excessive demand. Here’s the rub (no pun intended) the shower and toilet block on this site is well below an acceptable standard. What’s more, a look through the reviews on here and elsewhere reveal this issue has been mentioned many, many times. So why don’t the club do something about it? It’s not that they don’t have the money, they have loads. They get it from people like me who pay to stay on sites like this and pay membership fees. And why don’t they reply to the reviews with a statement. If I’d seen something along the lines of “the club will be updating the facilities in 2020” I wouldn’t have wasted my time writing thus review. This is a beautiful site in a stunning location. The village of Chirk is lovely with a superb greengrocers and an even better butchers. Walks from the site are up there with the best. The wardens couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. It’s great for those with dogs and fabulous for cyclists So why, oh why don’t the club sort out an issue that had been mentioned many times or at least make a comment about it?

I couldn’t agree more. I am one of the people who asked about facilities upgrades years ago. 

The fact the club ignore these reviews is really frustrating too. 

We really love chirk but reluctant to visit now until this is sorted

I don’t even believe the club ( head office ) actually read these reviews, what’s the point ???

I have no idea how long a lease (if leased) the club might have which will affect how much might be spent on an upgrade. If the water flow is slow due to low pressure from the supply I doubt that the club is likely to rectify that issue

I thought an upgrade was on the cards for sometime soon but if people are really keen to know when, I’d expect them to contact the club and ask.
