We stayed here for the first time ever and it lived up to all expectations...........it was pristine with flowers and tubs of plants everywhere that were well tended and watered. Grass was kept in almost bowling green condition and the facilities as usual were clean, modern and well maintained. The hard standing pitches were level with no need for transverse levelling, always a bonus and the serviced pitches ( which we didn’t use) were each bounded by medium height hedging to give some shelter and privacy. On our visit the whole site was buffeted by strong wind and unfortunately we caught it ‘in the neck’ but that could have applied to any site. There is a Beefeater adjacent for easy dining and access to the riverside and white water park is close by and easy. We walked along the river to Stockton town centre, a very pleasant walk and there is a hood selection of shops both chain and small to cater for most needs. We went on market day and so had extra shopping treats. Food shopping is close to hand if walking but a 3.5 mile journey by car so have suggested that.a locked gated access be made available for members staying so that a 400 yard walk would see you in the supermarket.
