Ramslade caravan club touring site Having read all the reviews for this site we booked a twelve night stay,, must be the worst decision we ever made since starting caravanning, access is ridiculous, a narrow lane with few passing places, a challenge even without towing a caravan, came face to face with an 80 seater coach, who just sat in the centre of the lane and advanced, damaged my car and caravan trying to get past this moron , and I was following to the letter the sites access instructions, comment from the wardens 'lots of our sites around here' well take a look at how others clear there sites by 12pm and don't allow arrivals before 1pm in narrow accessed sites and are strict about it is my advice My introduction to the access road from the instructions to turn left before the pub had me meeting a large rig being driven by a women on the first bend who nervousness was apparent, she stopped dead and expected everyone else to manoeuvre around her To be honest as a driver of over fifty years, including heavy goods vehicles as well as towing this site although pleasant is not fit for purpose without vast improvements to the accessibility ,I feel so strongly that I will be not renewing my membership to the caravan club because of it, to class it on email advertising as a recommended site with out pointing our the appalling access is criminal and the misleading information is ruining my holiday, every outing is a confrontation on this busy farm lane ,bus service a joke ,makes the problem worse ,a rural setting certainly but did not know I needed a tractor, heavily sloping pitches and ground that bends pegs, We have paid for july/aug for twelve nights and this is our honest opinion, avoid it like the plague Now the good bits, staff and site fabulous , pitches on grass require lots of packing up and a motor mover to achieve level standing, hard standing mainly level, toilet blocks and showers spotless and all services not far away, massive dog walk and child's play area and even caravan storage on site, fish and chips on site fantastic but soon runs out of supplies
Comment from The Club
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are sorry that you had some difficulty in accessing the site. The Access statement for Ramslade states “access to the site is along a country lane” and this road is used by vehicles such as the school coach which picks up the local children and a bus which collects the elderly therefore providing a vital community service. I have passed your comments across to our Site Operations Department who are responsible for putting together the Access Statements thus providing them with valuable feedback regarding staggered check in and check out times. Thank you again for leaving a review.
