Arrived approx 1230 on Saturday 29/06-after 355 mile journey for two week stay to be told fully booked only 3 pitches available-how can that be at that time of day or were we just unlucky? Chose the pitch and set up-pitch may have been within CMC safety guidelines but was extremely cramped for a twin axle with awning and no where near as generous as nearly all other clearly defined pitches. We soon realised that we were also on a short cut too the toilet block /offices with very little respect for our privacy or boundaries with people just walking through our space(where has the respect gone from previous years).Don't blame wardens clearly the club wants to maximise it's space and wants to cram as many outfits as possible in but surely everyone pays the same and therefore should receive the same even if it does mean reducing capacity by a few pitches. The site is very well maintained by the wardens who are friendly enough and even remembered us from previous visits as did we them.The shower block is in desperate need of some TLC albeit very clean etc it's so dated with plumbing and low water pressure it's difficult to get a proper shower in some cubicles.The dog walk on site is superb for last minute exercise or activity to keep your animals happy but again different from previous years more people now seem to think cleaning up after their dog is no longer important. A lovely site very quiet even when full but taking all things into account I don't think we can justify the travel/cost anymore to get what in some ways was a below par holiday and after 6/7 years of visiting Merrose farm I think this will be the last time.Instead of spending all that money on rebranding the club with all new logos etc the CMC should start refurbishing some of its facilities and providing value for money again.
