ARRIVE EARLY AND GRAB THE BEST PITCH!
We, a family of four (2 adults, 2 children ages10&8) had a lovely week at Treamble it is very well maintained, in fact spotless and the showers are hot at all times of the day. We had a large pitch and the play park is the best we've seen at any campsite ever.
It was pretty much perfect however we had one very big niggle.... we being law abiding citizens arrived after the 12noon requirement and checked out before 10am on our day of departure but EVERY day the rangers were allowing naughty members to arrive early, they would have the choice of where to pitch and be setting up on their newly claimed pitch anything from about 1030 onwards, so you may as well ignore the rules and cheat like the rest of the inconsiderate members as the Rangers did nothing to stop it...in our opinion the 'early' arrivals should be made to wait until after 2pm so the good people/members who abide by the rules get a fair chance at choosing a pleasant place to pitch. They have a huge amount of room where they could fit in a holding bay/waiting zone and it might stop the bad members of the club from being given priority. My daughter did pop up and speak to a ranger but was told 'well we'd get a backlog' well actually rules are rules and unless they are enforced they are pointless so go ahead arrive early, grab the best pitch and ignore all the usual instructions. The ranger checking in one early arrival was telling them where the good pitches were... so no consideration for members who would arrive at the correct allotted time.(2 hours later)
There were four rangers on site two seems very happy, jolly and helpful they other two were not. (The grumpy man who checked us in was not a great start to our otherwise thoroughly pleasant stay).
Thanks
