Like pitching in the car park?
Our first visit to a pretty location. It soon became apparent that this site is along side a busy car park and adventure playground, separated only by a very thin low hedge. Needless to say visitors to the forest have full view of all of the site and it's on goings. This was school holidays so these sorts of places are usually busy and this was no exception. The noise was unbearable at times both from the play area and from the woods where the noise of barking dogs seemed to carry. A degree of noise we expected but not the noise from the 'A' road just a couple of fields way. Whatever the time of day it was very noisy even though there wasn't too much traffic using it. Being in such a public place we were amazed by the lack of security on site - no barriers and only a blackboard at the gate reminding visitors that 'parking for members only' was allowed and an over flowing dog poo bin to ward off unwanted visitors. The site was pretty, good pitches of varying degrees of levels. Tv reception is quoted as fair but in our experience we didn't get the BBC ones, so if you visit go prepared! The club advertise that only some mobiles can be used - we are with EE, and only had a faint signal on site but it wasn't much better in the area generally. The wardens were lovely - the little we saw of them (- the office only opens for 3 short slots each day). Overall, we didn't really enjoy our stay, - this wasn't a site for us so we can see a return visit ahead.
