Take care where you are pitched!
We booked in for a 7 night stay. As we have a 5th wheel rig and as a courtesy, we telephoned ahead to let the site know. A bit about our rig - it has a UK side door and give or take it’s the same size and weight as our old Auto-Trail Comanche motor home. We arrived and were 'allocated' a pitch. Registration was fast and painless. Site location was great, having great views and a close walk to a beautiful beach. The toilet/shower block was a bit 1960's, but they were always clean and had plenty of hot water. The shop on-site sold the basics and a good selection of pasties, cakes and the like. The café was a delight…with Sunday lunch being the highlight and worth booking. Back to our pitch, for some reason we were not put onto the 'Caravan Club' area of the site (a fact discovered the day we left while I was trying to figure out how we got off the site). When I asked why we weren't in the Caravan Club area, the owner said first "we were too large"…then when I pointed out we were only the size of a large UK motor home, she changed her story saying there was "no space"… despite us booking and paying on 4/1/16!!!!!) Instead we were located a pitch next to the bins and toilet block. During our stay, we found some previously unknown to us camping habits. For example, how many people throw away their glass bottles and rubbish between the hours of 1:00 am and 8:00 am. Also being in the middle of the tents (single man and family), surf rigs and transit vans , this gave us an insight into new behaviours , modern music and teenage life way into the early hours… cleaning up dog pooh on several occasions (because dogs were not on a lead - despite the signs) was also an unexpected task. IMPORTANT, if you book and you want a quiet holiday on this site, make sure to ENSURE at the time of booking that you are going on the area reserved for the Caravan Club and not the general camping area. It's a real nightmare!
