This site does not provide EV charging, nearest is Sainsbury’s in Godalming.
This site is easy access, but if you have a unit larger than 7mtrs, you will stick out, as you get to the gate (Code required to open the gate, so have it to hand) and the road does have a bend close to the entrance. The site is close to the train station and the trains can be heard on some occasions along with road noise. The site had sheep in the field directly opposite who gave you an early morning call while lambing. Lovely to watch them jumping about during the day. The first 3 pitches next to the hedge get less sun; unfortunately the other pitches in the open were taken so we had no choice but to pitch on No1 next to the Chemical empty point. All pitches 7 in total (5 only used at one time while we were there) have hard standing strips with grass cars are parked in front of the caravan, so restricting the view. Grass cuttings are not collected. Grey waste water is to be discharged into the hedge.
The fresh water tap is located in the centre of the site, the chemical empty point is by pitch No 1 near to the site gate and the recycling bins are next to the main entrance gate (Access is by key code, the number is given when booking. It can get very busy as the owners allow other trades (burger van, tree surgeon, and a small van storage facility) to park behind the house so they might disturb you if you are pitched on 1, 2 or 3.
On arrival the owner provides an in-line electric meter plug, he takes a photo of the reading before he hands it over to you, (I also took one just in case, so I could keep a check on usage) Included in the price is £1.50 worth of electricity, then anything over that usage is charged at 0.34p per KWHr. I inserted the meter directly into the van socket but some just plugged it into the EHU site outlet, me not trusting, decided to fit it the other way, then I know I am the only one using the meter.
There is a very good fish & chip shop called Sinclair’s, on the main road into Milford, worth a visit and can be walked from the site. Fresh eggs are available at £1.50 per ½ dozen.
RHS Wisley, Winkford Arboretum NT are close by.
