We have come back to our regular local sight, it was always the dog walk that pulled us here. Plus it was members only. To find on our first visit, of several already booked this year.... that it is now open to non members? Which is down to the fact they have cut the dog walk down in size to allow for tents..... hence this members only caravan site had to open its doors to non members. Maybe it's worth thinking about cancelling membership if this is how they respect their members...
Maybe time to find another site or try independent sites like tranquil.
new year
Biggest gripe for the site and most sites at the moment " SPEED " there is a 10mph speed limit. "STICK TO IT "

Peace & Quiet
This is our second visit to this wonderful site. As a Motorhomer with a dog this site ticks all the boxes. Great dog walks in the forest and easy to visit lots of places with the motorhome. Facilities spotless and although the beginning of the season it was still quite busy but you never felt as if it was. Very tranquil and as always the staff were wonderful and friendly. We will be back!
Quiet and Secluded
I have been to this site a number of times and love it. Even when it's busy it is so quiet. Lovely listening to the birds with plenty of scope for dog walking. The site is always kept well; clean and safe, the pitches are well set and grass always neat and cut. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good playing field for the children and the shower/toilet/cleaning facilities are excellent. The only gripe I have is the introduction of TENTS. What is that all about? Caravan club? The dog walking area has been reduced to accommodate them and their cars?! And, of course, because of them there will be an impact to the use of showers/toilets. Such a beautiful site which is handy for me and which I have used a lot. If it were not for the tents I would give this site a 10/10.
Great site
Not our first visit to this site and will not be our last, great site in a great location. Friendly and helpful wardens. Excellent facility's.........clean....as is the site generally. The only question i ask is why the change for part of the the dog field to now be allocated to TENT'S ....I thought this was a CARAVAN CLUB SITE. Will be interested how this plays out next year when i return for our next trip to this site.
Good night halt, before ferry departure
Good night halt before ferry departure, but if on a late ferry awkward early departure from the site may need to book an extra night on site. Makes it a bit expensive.
Lovely site
Just spent the last week of the season at Rooksbury one of our favourite sites. Even though site was full only one shower block was open( could not understand this) queues every morning. Don't think we will be going to this site so much now. That they have cut the dog walk to about a third of what it was for what TENTS. This is the CC site. People are now driving their cars to the grass leading to the dog walk which was making area muddy and slippery. In our oppinion and about 80% of people we were talking to . Not a good move by the Caravan Club.

Nice site
Stayed here for 4 nights in October, this site is in a lovely setting. Close to a small village with nice shops.
There are lovely walks straight from the site in the local woods and these can be reached via a gate in the campsite. Facilities were clean as we would expect. We would happily stay there again and indeed hope to do so.

Perfect for returners to caravanning
Easy to find and good access. Road into the site easy to manage. Staff in reception very helpful. Pitch level and hard standing. Easy to set up. Good facilities. Very clean. Great toilet block with individual showers and washing facilities. Well looked after site. Would certainly return.

Rookesbury Regulars
With family nearby, we visit most October half terms. We do love the site and Wardens are always great. I know I said last year that the toilet block was a bit 'tired' and that is still the case - one loo or another of the four available in the Men's area was blocked on 3 days of the 6 we were there. Not the Wardens' fault - cleaning is excellent. Did mention the matter to Wardens. My wife reports no such problems in the Ladies! Safety grips in some showers are rusty, though showers work well despite queues for use. With all 85 hardstandings occupied over the weekend, perhaps both toilet blocks should be open? It wasn't great in the one at rush hours! Could do with a food waste bin in the washing-up area. Notice tents are welcome now; don't want to be there when they are in use (unlikely in October) so won't be visiting in the summer!
