Always stay at Chatsworth at the beginning of the year. Couple of things I would like to point out.. NO ARRIVALS BEFORE 1PM - This means DONT arrive before 1pm and not turn up when you feel like it and block the entrance road. On our recent visit we worked out that we would arrive too early so we found a lay-by and parked up for 20 mins. As we sat admiring the view and letting the dog water the grass I watched as motorhome after motorhome, then caravan after caravan thundered past us and I just knew that wacky races had started. We finished our choccy and off we went, drove along the access road at 1.15pm and was 15th, yes 15th in the queue. I feel really sorry for the wardens with the 'I want to be first there first' crowd. I don't want to be the first there by any means but I think that it would be a good idea that if you select your arrival time as 1 - 2pm, once a certain number have selected this option it is then no longer available so that the grid locking of the entrance does not happen. Secondly I think that the CAMC have got a little greedy with the costs to stay at this site, although its in a lovely location it does not warrant the amounts charged in peak season, as the site is now getting rather worn and tired - the toilet block needs a refurb, the trees need cutting back and the entrance road needs repairing due to pot holes and standing water. We really do love this site but might try somewhere else as our starting point to the season.
