Sadly now spoiled by rude warden and their FOUR barking dogs

Lovely site and perfectly located. Fantastic for dog walking and generally relaxing. The hard standings don't really work with an awning - better to head to the grass pitches. TV reception is poor unless you are lucky (some pitches almost work!) - satellite works OK at pitches near the entrance where you can get an adequate view of the Astra satellite. This used to be our favourite site across the UK. BUT the current wardens have spoiled this. They have FOUR yapping dogs that bark and bark and bark EVERY TIME anybody walks past (which you have to) - the wardens make no effort to control this and the chap (Keith) is abusive to those who (politely) complain or even mention it. They try to steer people away from Pitch 1 knowing that their dogs will be an issue. Additionally the warden has a huge HGV cab which can pull the trailer they live in. He parks this in places that encroaches onto pitches, restricting awning space that should be yours. Despite being 70+ he also likes to play jack the lad and drive the HGV cab around, sounding a very, very loud air horn as he does so - I think he thinks it entertains? Additionally (and finally, sorry) the warden has allegedly been in trouble/dispute with the Caravan Club regarding his conduct - and loves to bad mouth the Club to any visitor that will listen. He is proud to claim that he won the case and intends to stay on the site for many years to come and will not be removed. Sadly these wardens have spoiled the site and we shall only be visiting when the site is being managed by the relief wardens, who are lovely. Unfortunately all they get to hear is complaints about the resident warden. I am not just moaning - we really love this site but are so sore that it has been spoiled.

Thanks for your review,was thinking of going to try this site,but yours and other reviews about the awful warden have put us off,there is always this myth that c.c.club sites are the best,not so,am considering my membership now,there are always better sites,without jobs worth or rude wardens,dower house for example,right in the middle of Thetford forest! down south for us then,Salcombe regis site, can't be beaten!
