Liked We chose the affordable basic camping in a field option. It had a little park and lots of space for kids.

Disliked Needed more toilets and bookable fire pits.

Was quite sloped hard to find a flatish spot.

Liked Peaceful location

Disliked Misleading campsite information

AA rated 4 star!!!!!
Stated Wi fi available. None.
One toilet block to serve whole site. On our visit probably excess of 20 or so tents with multiple occupancy PLUS caravans and motor homes etc, in school holidays, so plenty of visitors on site. As they say on the traffic reports, Queuing likely.
Main grey waste disposal out of action, note said dispose of your waste in hedge row.
Toilets in disgusting state in morning( not the owners fault)
Doors and privacy screens insecure and hanging off
Accessibility toilet external door lock broken and sign said do not use the lock for risk of being locked in.
Most of the available picnic benches were in need of urgent repair.

Pitch fee of £32 per night for this "4 star site" is a RIP OFF

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us we welcome all feedback

We do not have WIFI on site we don't advertise or charge for it.

The grey waste disposal is working it is by reception and not sure where the note is that you to throw it over the hedge we encourage correct disposal of grey waste for wild life and environmental reasons.

The toilets are checked every couple of hours through the day sorry if not good first thing but they are checked between 8-9am.

We have checked the doors and are unable to find any hanging off.

We are awaiting the new lock for the accessibility toilet and shower and rather than shut it off we have put a note on the door to request that the door is not locked.

We will look at the picnic benches thank you.

Sorry your stay was not what you expected and that you have decided not to visit us again.

Liked Nothing, maybe the toilets and showers were decent.

Disliked Everything the tent pitches are small, on a slope and no privacy at all. All the camper vans forming a circle around the tents and constantly viewing your tent from all directions. Not nice!
Pitch sizes are so small you're basically pitching on eachother tent and it's all on a hill so even worse when sleeping or chilling in the tent!

If you have a tent this is definitely not the place to go camping. Avoid!

A constant smell of sewage gave me headaches, went camping for a bit of fresh air and to enjoy the weather. But nope, all you smell is sewage.

Sorry there was nothing you enjoyed with your stay on the park and you wont be visiting again.

Liked Woods/walking area. Play area for children. Spacious pitch areas at bottom end of the field for none electric pitches. Toilets & shower facilities were excellent. Dry wood and kindling were fairly priced from the onsite shop. Can order from deliveroo to get food/alcohol etc. early check-in.

Disliked Ground was hard/rocky difficult to get tent pegs onto ground so ensure to take a mallet. Felt a little vulnerable that cars can openly drive across the grassy area so please take care.

Liked Lovely campsite. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The toilets and shower block was always kept clean and tidy.

Disliked Only slight problem we had was our pitch was on a slope which made staying put in our beds a little tricky!

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Liked Play area for the kids.

Disliked Couple who runs it were rude. Turned up and got spoken to rudely for attempting to go through the barrier before signing in even though the booking form says head through the barrier and gives you the code. Says nothing about signing in first. When signing in we were told we were moved off our unlimited sized pitch to a small cramped pitch. Male owner came round and told me where I had pitched my marquee for a kitchen area was fine. When the woman came round she was rude and told us it shouldn’t be there and we had pitch it on someone’s booked pitch. When my friends arrived with their children they set up their tents and the woman came round and told us they needed to move their tents forward because it was not 6 meters from the other pitch. Even though the other occupants were right up to the ‘line’?! I say ‘line’ because nothing was marked out. If we moved six meters apart that would be half of the pitch!! When we asked to move down to the unlimited pitches where we had booked originally she told us we couldn’t. On the last day my friend had just woken up and the dogs came out of the tent, the male manager said he needed to put them on the lead. My friend explained he was about to. The manager replied saying they hadn’t been on a lead all week. They had, except for letting them stretch their legs in our camp area for short bursts. It is cruel and unrealistic to expect a dog to be on a lead 24/7 for a week. We regret booking here. Small and cramped. Only 5 toilets and showers for women and 5 toilets and showers for men. On such a big site there should be a lot more. Broken door lock so down to 4 toilets in the ladies. Drinking water access is a chopped off hose attached to a tap right next to someone’s pitch. Only one we found on the whole site. Pictures on here are misleading, massively! There’s no lake and the pitches are tiny. Can fit your tent and car and that’s it. Horrible experience. Never coming back here.
