This thread seems to encompas everything I despise in caravanners. I vowed never to use a "main stream" CC site every again after I came up against this kind of small minded, petty, bickering. We now use the CL network and generally go where ever we please at the weekends. Some of us do still...

Hi Haven't been to Seton Sands but I swore (literally) never to go on a Haven site after a long weekend at Blue Dolphin (Filey). Dirty, cramped, very noisy difficult to locate pitch, staffed by "wardens" who couldn't care less and very, very expensive

I have had to fit a swan neck towbar to this car and I am not happy with the "nose up attititude" that the caravan adopts when towing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem. Overall this is an over looked tow vehicle, it pulls like a train and is very stable in all...

we want to take our 3 year old and 7month old to see the lights over 1/2 term can anyone recommend a site nearish to Blackpool (no further than Garstang)
