Not sure that this is a site for Tourers anymore.
When we arrived we found it very difficult to park up our unit as there didn't seem to be any arrival area for caravans. We were greeted by a very pleasant young lady who spoke perfect English. Initially she was unable to find our booking and when she did find our details it appeared someone had failed to allocate us a “Welcome pack” Our pitch was flat but situated near a cup de sac of chalets.Some pitches were very very small. This had obviously been a large Caravan/Motorhome site in the past but many of the fresh water taps had overgrown and the drains were somewhat difficult to find. The site had two toilet/shower blocks, one which was in the middle of a residential chalet area? However both blocks were cleaned regularly, with plenty of hot water and good size cubicles. The Chemical waste was located here also The Bar and restaurant offered a good selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages and although the menu was limited the food was well presented and edible. There was limited entertainment on site. One of the main features of this site were its Pool complex, and compared to other sites we had visited this was a proper complex.There were two large swimming pools, an indoor pool with sliding glass sides and roof, a toddlers swimming pool and water toys and some aqua slides, but it was so busy you couldn’t get a lounger (The usual towel crowd resaving early each morning) WiFi here was on subscription. Whilst the site was well maintained and managed we got the feeling that Caravans were tolerated. As I stated previously many fresh water taps were overgrown with weeds and the drains were equally as bad. I did speak to a couple who had been visiting the site for the past 7 years and they could tell us that over that time the number of touring pitches had been reduced in favour of Statics. Interestingly the caravan club claims that this site has 183 touring pitches . A map of the site shows 36, all of which I counted. Once again the descriptions given by the Club have been grossly exaggerated. Come on Caravan Club get your inspection done and don't blame Covid, touring pitches were reducing over 5 years ago. Having walked the site it is obvious what it is developing into and I don't believe that it be a venue for Tourers much longer, so even if I did consider returning, which I won't, I don't think the opportunity will be available much longer
Comment from the Club:
Thankyou for your review and we are glad that you found the site to be well maintained and managed. We will follow up your other points with the site. The site does only have a small number of touring pitches and only 281 pitches in total. We apologise for the inaccurate information, another site's details have been used in error. We have now updated our website and brochure for 2023. Les Peneyrals is still very happy to welcome Tourers on site. Thank you again for the feedback.
