September weekend
We arrived on friday evening after picking my 10yr old son up from school in sunny Doncaster, My wife was working for the weekend so I decided to try our new, to us, Bailey Senator Arizona for the first time. We arrived at 1800hrs and after a warm welcome reversed onto the hard standing pitch perfectly first time, that was my, anxious point one out of the way. Electric connected, legs down, water and waste connected for the first time, its dark now and for the first time in 10yrs i'm caravanning. My 10 year old son is too excited and trying to find a free view signal, as I work out how to connect the gas and turn on the fridge, and prime the heating and hot water. TV on and coronation street playing in the background im getting frustrated as I get hot water from the kitchen but not the bathroom, eventually eureka, the Bailey handbook in hand and mobile as a torch, im burning my hand in the hottest water you ever felt. OK time for a cup of tea and settle down to our first night in a caravan for 10 years. Dawn breaks and the wind is howling and its wet, very wet, but you know what, the site is till calm and beautiful, in a great location and we are toasty and warm as the bacon sizzles and the toast slowly turns brown. Caravanning, and the Sutton on Sea caravan club site, I love it.
Very disappointing
Thanks for asking me to review the site. If you'd checked your records you'd see that we actually didn't stay there. Having booked the day before, given our time of arrival, and explained that we had a trailer tent the only space available when we arrived was under trees. It was dark north facing and had a view of the toilets. With relatively strong winds forecast this was obviously not an acceptable pitch leaving us with no alternative but to go and find accommodation elsewhere. We booked for two nights but could only claim our money back for one which was also disappointing. I do feel that as the managers knew we were coming they could have reserved an open pitch for us not under trees so we would have been able to stay. When I joined the club recently I was told that trailer tents were welcome on your sites but didn't feel on this occasion this was proved to be true. We headed to a warm welcome at the local Caravanning and Camping Club site to an open pitch with a great view over surrounding countryside where we stayed for three nights and will always look at their sites first in the future. Feel free to contact me if you want mover information.
Message from The Club:
Thank you for your review. We regret to hear that you did not feel the pitch selection was up to standard.
When you arrived our site was full to capacity with just one pitch available. Caravan Club pitch selection operates on a first come first served basis and you were our last arrival that day. We did offer a change of pitch after departures the next day and did give you help and advice on pitching your trailer tent. Trailer tents are welcomed on site and have in fact happily used the pitch in question, enjoying sunny mornings and shaded afternoons. We would welcome you to contact us directly if you wish to discuss your experience further.
Friendly site

Late break
Just spent 5 day here, found the site neat and tidy, clean and well run. Close enough to the sea, a pleasant stroll. Close to major seaside towns, North and South of site. Will revisit.
