Friday 1st May – Tuesday 5th May 2009
I can’t make my mind up about this site. The pitching area is beautifully located on the edge of a large lake that is very popular with fishermen but it seems caravanners don’t share the fascination. During my stay which was over a Bank Holiday only one other van was onsite, and this was only for a couple of days. The pitches are numbered and I was allotted my pitch number when I booked. They are on a hard area at one side of the lake and all the services are near the toilet and shower block which are available for day fisherman to use. There is a lot going off at Bramcote Mains. Apart from the C/L and fishing the owner told me he stores over 500 caravans and motorhomes, there is an off-road driving area and lamb from the farm is on sale at certain times of the year. Got the impression that the C/L is a small part of the overall business and it gets little or no attention from the owner. One last thing I feel I must mention is that the man who collects the fees from fishermen seems to want to drive his vehicle as fast as possible from peg to peg. Keep an eye on your children and animals when he is about.
A bus passes the drive but I didn’t see a stop except in nearby Bulkington. We drove to the northern Park and Ride for Coventry and had an interesting day looking at what the city had to offer. There is a convenient supermarket adjacent to the Park and Ride. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area but we found that it is necessary to drive to most of them.
Analogue signal good

£8.00 per night. [Advertised as £12.50. This would be far too much for this site unless it included fishing fees]
