Liked: Friendly helpful staff. Nice pitches. Plenty of good clean toilets and showers. Campite was very clean throughout. Nice location very quiet after 11pm. River on site was beautiful (we lucked out getting a river side spot which was a shame) Washing up stations were spacious and tidy. Swings were a nice little touch for the little ones.
Disliked: The only thing we disliked was we found things quite over priced in comparison to other sites we’ve stayed at. Fire pits bundle come in at £22 and then for extra wood it’s another £8 a bag that’s nearly double what we’ve paid previously elsewhere. Then also canoe hire was quite expensive too think about £60 per canoe and we would have needed to hire 2 if we had of wanted to go out together as a family. So what makes for a cheap little weekend away would have added up quite quickly.

Liked: Beautiful, friendly campsite, next to the river. Was very peaceful on the Thursday, but got very busy over the weekend. Maybe not the place to go if you are wanting peace and quiet over a weekend, but the kids were obviously having a great time on paddleboards ans suchlike. The camp manager was so helpful and friendly, and the amenities were cleaned regularly. Beautiful view of the sunset along the river from the bench too. Already planning our next visit.

Liked: Many Pitches to choose from and having a fire pit was an added bonus for evening marshmallows and hot chocolate. Really enjoyed our adventure canoeing down to the pub for lunch and a tipsy return back to camp. All the staff were very helpful and the safety instructions for the canoes was explained well by Gareth.
Disliked: We only stayed one night but would have liked to have stayed longer. Wanted a shower but they seemed to be closed when required.

Liked: The river! Took our canoes and the boys went off and had a great time. The field out the back was perfect for cricket / football / rugby / general shenanigans.
Disliked: Showers not being available in the afternoon for environmental reasons is a bit frustrating when you’ve been out on the water and need a wash down / some warmth.

Liked: Quiet campsite, lovely river.
Disliked: Play park consisted of 2 swings. Very misleading. Expensive hire of the fire pits and wood per night. Hire of canoes was far too expensive as well.

Liked: what an amazing find !!! fantastic location, right on the river bank of the stour, with launches so your paddleboard or kayak, or even hire a canoe on-site... a bustling little site, was a bit nervous it was going to be noisy all night long, but people stick to the rules and its all quiet at 11pm facilities on the more basic side, but can't fault them - clean and well-stocked fire pits to hire and wood to buy, coffee & pastries at the weekend, plus the ice cream van - all just add to the good vibes - make sure you take cash tho staff friendly and attentive, and akways available - overall a fantastic couple of days ! def. get on the water and head to the anchor pub in nayland if you're feeling adventurous - about an hours paddle for great food and great atmosphere
