Friendly staff working in a nice setting but just not for us.
Anonymous Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Friendly staff, nice setting.
Disliked Kids screaming at 1am people arguing, central toilet block closed had to use toilet block at the top of the site quite a walk when you’re disabled. Road surface was very pot holed. Not a lot for older kids to do.

Ok base on the outskirts of Derbyshire
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great to have a park there for the kids
Disliked Long walk to the toilet/shower block. Not sure why the block half way wasn’t in use.
Toilets/showers could probably do with a second clean late afternoon too.
The lady in the office on one occasion was rude and not polite.

A sadly rundown site that is lacking cleanliness and TLC.
Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Play park, great walk locations and welcome from lady in the office.
Disliked 23:00 is far too late for enforcing a common courtesy silence rule. It entices the sort of people to drink heavily around their campfire and swear profusely, which is not acceptable for a family campsite. Enforcing a 22:00 hours silence would attract the right guests who would want to come back again. I had to shout at people to have some respect for families at 23:30 because I couldn't find the paper with a number.
Our electric pitch was also on a slight slope. Not major but looking around, you can see a lot of the pitches were on slopes. You take a gamble that you get a decent one.
The state of the toilet facility was shocking. The first day (and I mean the whole day) a faeces floor covered cubicle was left in that state and only addressed the by the next morning. Please clean your toilets and showers on a regular basis. Kids have accidents (I hope it was a kid) but to leave it for a cleaner once every 24 hours is unacceptable.

We do walk round during the evenings and are sorry you experienced noise, this is why we have the out of hours number, we encourage all guests to use this number if other guests are impacting on their stay.

An overnight stay
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We stayed one night here in our motorhome. The gravel pitch we were given was spacious and we had plenty of space to sit outside our van. We enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep. The showers were nice and hot with good pressure.
We don't have children but there was a large play area and it looked very good for entertaining them!
Disliked The toilet and shower block was busy. Both my husband I managed to go straight into a shower cubicle and shower fine. But the sink area outside was cramped and it was a squash in the ladies area . Mum's took their children into clean their teeth, 3 to a sink!
The pitch was on a slope and although we improved this with our chocks it did mean it was a fairly big drop from our exit door to the ground. We were glad this was only for one night.
