we tend to combine internet research with our copy of the aa guide

the great benifit of the internet (particularly UKCS) is that you can receive honest feedback on selections

however, the aa guide has never let us down, & tends to be 90-95% accurate

Hi Tigermouse,

The site was called Bone Valley Caravan and Camping Park. It may be ok for Motorhomes but we were shown to a tiny strip of mainly mud hemmed in between a stream and a high hedge and overhung with trees. There was absolutely no airflow in there so everything was soaked with damp and smelt it too. Because the area was so small we were told not to use our guy lines?? in case other campers tripped on them and we had to pitch literally on the edge of the stream. The pitch was so sloped I had trouble balancing and spent the night sliding down the tent towards the stream. I could go on but I won't except to say in my opinion it was unfit for habitation. I'll have to sort out some pictures, I've got some really appealing ones in case other members would like to go.

The way to warn other members is to put a review in. It works both ways, if you haven't put in a bad review then presumably other people have also had a bad experience like you and didn't do it either?

I suspect that some bad reviews don't get published in case they are libellous, which if it were true would mean that you can't rely on the reviews.

Paula did submit a review. Some of them get missed. Submit another one, keep it factual and impersonal. It is misleading if there are no balanced reviews for a site and others could be equally disappointed.

Thanks Angie, I'll submit another review and see. Like you say, maybe my first one got missed. Suppose I should of contacted admin to check at the time. Almost a year on and I'm still moaning about one bad night camping!
