GREAT SITE FOR FERRIES & HISTORIC DOCKYARD- NEED STRICTER RULES POSTED FOR DOG OWNERS!!

We stayed at Rookesbury for a few days before and after our trip to France in June '24, so we could visit the historic dockyard at Portsmouth. You can get a 'park and ride' for just £4 per car (covering up to 5 passengers) which has it's final stop within a few minutes walk to the dock entrance. The site is very clean and tidy, with the toilets being spotless. The Wardens were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, what seemed to be lacking was a stricter control over the rules of dogs on site and the responsibilities of their owners. It seems that CAMC members think that because they love their dogs, everybody who don't have dogs will also! There is an exercise area where owners can take their dogs, but every day we watched owners allowing their dogs relieving themselves wherever they wanted on very long extension leads, so doing so on the pitches. One lady even walked her dogs within a few feet at the rear of our caravan (I did have a word!) We did report a dog owner who had two large dogs off-lead allowing them to roam around the pitch area defecating. He only cleared up when he saw me. The site wardens need more signage posted around the site concerning the responsibilities of dog owners.....
