Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Didn't use the swimming pool so can't review what it's like but we didn't really like anything. If you have children it may be fine but not for us
Disliked: Where to start? Our pitch was up a curb in a sea of mud and there was no way of getting the caravan onto the concrete slab. We were given another pitch that was more accessible. This is not the site for you if you want a quiet stay. Not enough staff to keep it clean and tidy.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The lady on reception was brilliant in moving us to a more preferred pitch, the staff in the club house were brilliant with our little boy and we're playing with him constantly
Disliked: The pitches were quite water logged, there was no path to the toilet block or park meaning we were traipsing in mud constantly

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Reception staff pleasant and polite , grounds staff polite. But nothing more.
Disliked: Feral children running wild and vandalising anything and everything. Drinks mega expensive. Touring pitch like a lake , swimming with mud. Swimming pool bookings as joke. You need to book days in advance. Unless in the club house before 5pm you won’t get a table. Toilets a disgrace with toilet roll strewn everywhere. Groups of up to 20 adults non residents drinking and shouting until early hours,. Starts again at 7.40am with music blasting. Arguing neighbours all over the touring site. Restaurant ( if you could call it that) tables dirty and food over rated and over priced. Arcades are a rip off , we worked it out to claim a prize from tickets you need to spend £500 on games winning tickets. Other dry pitches available at time of arrival seemed to be getting kept or favoured for tourrrs arriving later in the day or weekend. Will never go back it has no element of luxury or class at all. Everything is over crowded , the club house is poorly furnished and too small for t the number of guests needing to use it.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The proximity of facilities Sea view in distance Ease of checking in. Toilet and shower facilities. On-site pool
Disliked: - Noise - the neighbours on the site didn’t feel like respectful campers and were chatting and shouting throughout the night. - Toilet facilities after a particularly dreadful camper used it - I felt for the cleaner who had to sort it out! - Sloping pitch. It’s much easier to camp when chocks aren’t needed. - Parkdene entertainment. I’ve been to a few Parkdene where the entertainers have been much more engaging. The audience hadn’t a clue what was going on half the time!
