Like the curate's egg - good in parts

We came home early as the weather was truly appalling. It's a 1pm arrival and 'vans start pouring in on the dot. By the time we arrived later in the afternoon, there was very little choice and we got the last hard standing. Luckily because there was very heavy rain for most of our stay and some of the grass pitches became very waterlogged. In heavy rain, the 'entrance' side of the site is inundated with runoff water. CAMHC need really to look at the drainage as electric bollards and cables were in big pools of water for a while (regular visitors are well aware of this issue apparently). It was a bit interesting!! The site is right on a wonderful shingle and sand beach which is totally dog friendly and so, despite wind and rain, we had some wonderful walks. There is also a bit of a 'prom'. Dog owners beware, however, there are very loud bird scarers in the locality. If you have a noise adverse dog, you might be wise to avoid this site. Our girl spent much of our stay cowering in the bathroom shaking! The wardens were perfectly pleasant on check in, but we rarely saw them thereafter and the one I did ask about gas was less than helpful. The office didn't appear to open until 12.30 and then they are busy with check-ins. Then they close. I agree with the previous reviewer that wardens really need to be more proactive in speaking to their visitors whilst restrictions are still in place. On some other sites we've visited, wardens have been walking around talking to members morning and evening. It makes such a difference. The road to the site is absolutely fine apart from the final few hundred yards, but the access road then goes on further to a commercial site. Cars come down that road far too fast and it was a bit perilous at times dodging cars. There are two nice places to eat and drink within very short walking distance and a tiny shop. Otherwise, there is a good Morrisons supermarket and petrol station (good fuel prices) very close by. We liked the location of the site, weren't too keen on some of the pitches and thought the wardens could do a bit better. The weather's no-one's fault, but it's a long way for us and the 'bangs' are a problem so it's probably a first and last, but otherwise we'd certainly try it again.
