Liked: We had a great time, the owner is a lovely man, very helpful, it was also a very quiet area to stay you only here a bit off traffic, definitely safe for children to play, their were also a bouncy castle for the children to play, and the owner offered the children a ride on his quad
Disliked: Just the floor of the showers, was a little muddy nothing you can’t clean
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for a fitting review 🙏 Muddy toilet was due to a lot of kids being on site and boys will be boys They had a great time as did parents
Owner's a nice bloke but facilities don't match his ambitions

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Small bouncy castle for kids
Disliked: Washing facilities look homemade although they do work. No locks on doors. No hot water to wash up. Owner seems obsessed with cramming tents close together (possibly took too many bookings) Field is a bog Big old part burnt bonfire in same field
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are a popular site and it was a very busy weekend. ! We have a bonfire on a Saturday night Can’t be cleared up whilst still hot just to make site pretty or we don’t have bonfire at all May have to cancel bonfire in view of comment We can’t be blamed for the weather !
A great family friendly stay

Liked: We both liked the facilities that Jacksmere camping had to offer, the views overlooking the neighbouring fields were amazing, they had a swimming pool and bouncy castle for kids and even if you didn’t book an electric pitch they had a few outdoor sockets for you to recharge your items. There is electric pitches you can pay for extra as-well. The farmer gave the children a ride around on the quad and made them really happy lovely people and good campsite.
Disliked: The field was rather long and could have done with a cut as our car is quite low and collected all the flowers and grass as we drove to our pitch, when booking you get told the bathrooms are cleaned every half an hour but we didn’t see them once get cleaned, the swimming pool for children was green and children couldn’t go into it. The campsite also was a pony field where the ponies would be let out to roam around so don’t forget to close the gate .There are electric pitches however these are under the trees and putting a tent under the trees to let the birds poo on the tent and windbreaks isn’t the best. The field was not quite flat and the pitches are just anywhere you like.

From the manager: It’s the end of season for camping so we close the pool as it was to cold and the grass is no longer cut as it has to feed the ponies over the winter months Come during the active season and you will see a different picture
Absolutely poor.

Liked: Nothing, didnt even get to stay.
Disliked: How he answered the phone when deposit was paid but when calling up on arrival they hang up and dint answer. We left a review on google too and they were quick to answer advising that they do not take deposits, yeah right. Went to another camping site down the road, and it wasnt the first time they've heard this story. Rude and unprofessional as per their google repsone, almost like children who cannot take responsibility for their actions. 0/10 stay away, much MUCH nicer people down the road.

From the manager: Every once in a while , all, sites get a nasty review. This is usually because of their own personal problems When it’s to me and unjustified - I call a spade a spade We do not charges deposits - that’s a matter if you and them , book through a website We do not collect monies at the gates - unlike others We wait until people have pitched up settled down and are happy Which is in 99 % of cases The only scammers were this lot as they drove in - the site was off season and not that that many tents , so peaceful and quiet . They wanted a noisy rave atmosphere - that I told them was NOT going to happen and off they went - then promptly slagged me off , having not paid me Welcome to not come and back
Great site, we'll definitely be back! Large open field with free roam…

Liked: Great site, we'll definitely be back! Large open field with free roam ponies which our son loved!! Toilets and showers did their job with nice hot water in the shower. The owner was really friendly. we had a good chat with him, and he stopped by each pitch to see if everyone was alright. Firepits and wood are reasonable, the wood burned for hours!! Overall a great site and we'll definitely be back. Just a reminder to take bug spray!!
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Lovely fella who owns the place nice size field pick where you pitch the horses are brilliant the kids loved them especially when they came to say hello at the tent door Definitely don't leave food out the horses are very cheeky Really quiet at night no noises no loud music everybody was polite Fridge for beer plugs for phone charging
Disliked: The horseflies!! Make sure you take repellant as they are wicked things that are very hungry!! Toilets need a sign as they are slight hidden and hard to find for the first time
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your review Am glad you enjoyed yourself But those were not horse flies as they by nature only zero in on horses They were everyday midges
Basic camping with toilets, £100 for the weekend in a field.

Liked: Owner was friendly and helpful
Disliked: Not well signed from main road Expensive for what we got Bonfire with foam, rubbish etc £20 for a fire pit with wood and £20 for an extra basket of wood Paddling pool filthy
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We deliberately don’t sign post because of the chance of large groups of unwanted people gate crashing You know whom I am talking about ! Just call us and we will guide you in Prices are reflective of the area we are in Wood , firepits and lighters are 20 and not 20 just for wood. Have never charged that, in fact most got it for the whole weekend for the price Pool was closed because some kids dumped a load of mud into pool Bonfire has no foam just wood and cloth
