What customers say
This is a very family-friendly campsite with spacious pitches and helpful staff. Its location is convenient for London and attractions like Harry Potter World. While the basic portaloos and limited washing facilities received some criticism, many visitors found them clean and adequate. The farm and play areas are popular with children, and the site is generally praised for its peaceful atmosphere and natural surroundings. Security is present, and management is receptive to feedback.

10 portaloos for 200 people
Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Nice large flat fields, lots of families / kids, farm / playground, campfires allowed, a nice security steward who comes at night to encourage people to finish up the noisy games/parties so everyone can sleep.
Disliked 10 portaloos for 200 people to share.
3 hot/cold showers between 200 people.
2 washing up stations between 200 people.
Please do better!!!
I've been camping in so many places in the UK and your facilities were the worst I've seen. I'd take a compost long-drop toilet over those portaloos - the smell was horrendous.
It's not that they need more cleaning - they need changing for a proper facilities block. I understand a campsite isn't a huge money-maker, but please please invest in your facilities because there were a lot of us in those fields and it really ruined what was otherwise an awesome experience.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Staff super helpful. I had forgotten my grill and they did lend me one for no charge. Very basic scenery but extremely family friendly. Perfect for kids, our daughter made friend in no time with other children and they were free to run around and have fun. The farm is a must visit.
Disliked Shame for the non-free playground.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Basic grass no frills pitches.
Not to far from Wembley as we were attending a play off game so a taxi was approximately £20.
Disliked Portaloos could be a bit grim by the evening before their morning cleans.
