An almost great stay

Another stay at another club site with a massively noticeable improvement to the Caravan Club. Place was prestine, orderly and relaxed...until the wardens 'vanish' at the end of their shift. Nobody around when a few selfish folk have a few too many and cause the disturbances i see on almost all sites i've been to recently. Most people seem either oblivious or seemingly very tolerant and am sure most would brush it off hoping for calm within 30 mins or so of the noise curfew. What is deemed a curfew and what constitutes an acceptable level of noise? I'd say enough to wake/ keep your neighbour awake at an acceptable hour. 10-11pm? However there is and are always one group, as there has been on two consecutive nights at Rookesbury. Drink drink drink but where are the wardens? I went looking at 11pm simply to notify them as any later, might seem unsociable! It doesn't seem as tho too much importance is put on managing the site after the hours of darkness. I've heard...or would expect at least one 'patrol' but have never myself witnessed anyone doing any checks and we're all left in charge for ourselves being 'trusted'. Wardens were seemingkly asleep by 11pm. Their dog told to be quiet when i tried to attract some attention. For the price of a pitch these days i'd expect more daylight service than daylight robbery. What does it cost to guarantee a peaceful nights rest. We're all just a few metres apart so why can't everyone consider eachother than just the majority of us?

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. We just wanted to clarify that the wardens on site are off duty from 8pm. They start work early in the morning and as such the site staff were asleep by 11pm. We have a duty of care to staff and need to ensure they do have adequate time off between their working hours. They work incredibly hard to ensure the site is well looked after and they are sorry to learn you had a disturbed evening due to the noise from other members.

Well challenger 620 your review started well & then went down hill very quickly. As sound travels its not surprising that you found your neighbours loud, You're after all in a very lightly insulated van with no double glazing. They were having a good time & you obviously weren't. As you clearly say about consideration for each other you have none yourself by going & rattling on the wardens compound after 11pm. Daylight service is what you get that's why the site is of a high standard the wardens work hard to keep it this way, With the duty wardens putting in a 12hr shift. Maybe caravanning is not the right hobby for you!!
