Travellers!

We've been coming here annually and what was our favourite get is now off limits in future due to the large amount of travellers on the site. Last year there were a few but this year there are many and they have lots of kids who are obviously not at school. We go away during term time to avoid all the children but now there is no respite. Add to that that these people clearly abuse the site and intimidate genuine members into moving pitch so that more of them can come in, I dare say all sharing one barrier pass as we have been asked twice to let them out!

Comment from the Club

Thank you for your review and we are sorry to read that you did not enjoy your recent stay. There have been some families from the travelling community staying at the site recently, all of whom are members of the Club. These members have now moved on, but we can confirm that having spoken to the site staff all the families were respectful and abiding by the Club’s rules and guidelines. Please be assured that if there is ever any activity on a Club Site that is against the Club’s Site rules, or that causes issues for our other members and guests, we will follow this up with appropriate action. If you ever have any concerns please do not hesitate to talk to the site staff as they will always do their utmost to assist. We hope this helps to reassure you and that you will come back to stay on the site again in the future.

We stayed there in May and there were no problems whatsoever.

Did you voice your concerns to the wardens? I’d be interested to hear what their response was.

I would think that the problem you have encountered is probably  out of the wardens control did you manage to speak to the site staff,as it is no good coming on here without "information from them

Ps I have reported this review as it sounds as if there is a serious  problem at this site?.

You have my sympathies as we had a similar experience at Alderstead Heath, last year. We would not go back there either.

Not sure how you still gave the site 5 stars though??surprised

I have also reported this review as I would like to know how travellers are managing to get on site without first paying and receiving barrier tokens.

Why do you assume they haven't paid? If they are members, they are able to use sites and can’t be refused entry unless they transgress the club rules. Just like you and I really.

Sadly the feedback from the Caravan Club is inaccurate. I can’t comment on membership but the travellers clearly flouted the rain ules. They parked their vans at acute angles across their pitches, preventing the neighbouring pitches from enjoyingbprivacy and space. They brought numerous panel vans on site each evening and parked around their vans. Their children unfortunately thought it was acceptable to use our car and pitch, and our neighbour car and pitch as a suitable spot for hide and seek and hide their scooters. 

I have no complaints about the site staff who worked hard to manage a difficult situation diplomatically but the travellers were pushy, and when in a group, were threatening. They were trying to sell generators from their vans to other caravanners and apparently other stuff. 

I accept that they may have been members of the Caravan Club but they are not members I was to share a site with so we won’t be returning.

You’re in reviews, JV. It’s got nothing to do with threads on the forum.

However, you’re assuming again that all such folk are the same.

We met up with friends at another club site the week after they had stayed at Lttlehampton and they were very upset with the actions of the travellers so much so that they have now left club
