Looking further down the reviews it's obvious they cram as many visitors in as possible as a matter of habit. Probably contravening all H&S and Planning requirements. And one review in August 2005 states they were told it was only their second season, whereas we spoke to a caravanner, (the one James was squeezed alongside, as it happens), who have been going there for 20 years. You wouldn't know what to believe from these people.

It must have been that time of the month, anyway I feel sorry for her husband, he was nice bloke ..........that aside and on a serious note the campsite is very good, However, the campsite owner's don't appear to appreciate groups of folk like us. And they did'nt put us where they had said or where we had expected to be on the site, so a bit of a sham in that respect. As if they had got it right and we were grouped properly then Linda, would'nt have cause to have complained on Saturday afternoon, so Linda, if you read this, you only have yourself to blame

just been reading all about the weekend very eventful I wish I had been there but actually I was !!!!
you see I was stopping up with in laws just outside Keswick (opp thirmemere lake)
Sat night been to pictures in Keswick and took wrong turn from stone circle ended up on a66 to penrith so I was trying to get back on track via Threlked and remembered that bro in law and me had stayed in a cottage 20 years ago and decided to look for it.
Well we found it and at same time I noticed across from cottage there was agroup of tents in field so being nosy I went to investigate My other half was stressing saying it may be private but I carried on through gate at this point a large group of campers suddenly turned around and started staring at us.
I distinctly felt uncomfortable thinking may be she was right and it was some special meeting!!!!
any way I decided to carry on pretending I knew where I was going, I then noticed an omega and then another and then noticed a web site sticker in rear window of another.
It was then it twigged exactly what was going on
I stopped to ask someone  but unfortunately he was not a member but he confirmed what I thought was a meeting.
I desparetly wanted to go around again to chat but I was over ruled by my wife and in laws because they knew once I got out of car I would be ages and they were tired and  wanted to get back to caravan.
I really wanted to see you and wished I had dropped them off and come back.
I will have to know when next meet is on and come along
especially after reading the adventures you get up to

Hi Arpy, you should have got out, nice looking car you have there!

[shyboy]

Hi Arpy,
Big opportunity missed, Arpy! You'd have been made more than welcome, and your family.
As a matter of interest, did the 'non-member' you spoke to show any signs of being upset by our presence? Nobody found anyone on the site who objected.

[Arpy]

Hi shyboy and jim bob
sorry it has took so long to get back to you
Yes I did feel awful about driving off but I knew bro in law was whinging in back of car (hes not in to  cars), thinking about it later I should have dropped them off and come back for an hour.
any way the couple I spoke to seemed very nice and didnt seem to be bothered at all and they were just around the corner from your tents.
In fact it seemed like they would liked to joined you!!!
you must let me know when next meeting is

cheers
Arpy

I wanted to go but unfortunately my financies just did not let me even with a very kind offer of transportation assistance by James & Maria, which was greatly appreciated .

However, I wish I had after reading all on this thread!  I tell you what if I had been there, teaming up with LJay and basing it on what has been stated, we all would have been banned much earlier once I started. I cannot stand, as a professional in these matters, bad Customer Care practice and inefficient business administration; anyone who gives that to me (many have tried!) end up feeling my wroth and paying for it!!  

All the best on a) making what you found very public &
                      b) finding somewhere else that appreciates you and your business - the bottom line of business is profit, and by the sounds of it Linda is one hell of a stupid woman as she is detirmined to turn-away future trade, the opposite to which you endevour to accomplish in business, and therefore cut future profit pontential!

PS She never actually took a deposit off me when I booked (big mistake yet again!) and just said they would take it once there.  However I cancelled the booking 3 weeks before the event.

Leaving aside Linda's attitude to us as she was storming over towards our 'van to stop us from stealing more of her electric   it was her daughter(-n-law) that Donald Ducked it all up in the first place. It was Miss Happy that ignored the arrangement that Linda & Chopsdad had made regard us using the rally field. I think that if we'd have been together, as originally planned, things would have been better all round.
