Excellent safe peaceful campsite

Disappointed
The campsite was well maintained and the toilet and shower block was spotless. However, we wouldn’t stay again as the pitch we were put on is at the side of an extremely noisy road.

A wonderful experience
My wife and I are new to CAMC. The Host and Hostess who greeted us were amazingly helpful and patient which I particularly appreciated. The site is spotless with loads of facilities and lovely hot showers! Our fellow campers were really friendly and quiet which I also loved. We would definitely go back.

Good location for stopover
Brilliant quiet location for a stop mid country. Lovely views across valley. Wardens perfectly welcoming. Wonderful 3 course lunchtime meal deal at The Spanker, 15 min walk downhill!

Tidiness m
The weeds were so high they blocked the lovely views. The dog walk was totally inadequate, just a small patch of grass surrounded by weeds and a steep embankment. Too many serviced pitches all of them empty.

Too many serviced pitches
Only stayed 1 night breaking the journey back home. Usual club site and accompanying facilities. However, I felt the need to comment as, like an increasing number of club sites, there were far too many serviced pitches and guess what? Most were vacant. 3 out of 19 in use. They’re... Show more
