What customers say
This is a basic, no-frills stopover site primarily catering to adult visitors, especially bikers and music fans. Many guests appreciate the friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, and the venue's suitability for attending events. The pub offers good beer and entertainment. While some describe the facilities as basic and mention occasional issues like rats, the manager notes traps are in use and clarifies that the site is advertised as simple. Some visitors found the site to be rough around the edges or urban.
 Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Disgusting facilities. Surly staff.
 Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
 Liked There was nothing to like.
 Disliked Arrived early, allowed to pitch up. Had booked on for 3 nights, stayed for 30minutes as facilities were far below standard. I go to festivals so am used to revolting toilets, didn't expect it here. The place was filthy, pitched caravans (possibly owned by site), full of green mold. The whole place needs a deep clean.

Private feedback: Invest in a bottle of bleach, the place needs a deep clean. Bikers have standards too, I'm sure. ” WELL IF I HAD KNOWN I HAD VISITORS ARRIVING WITH SUCH AN IMPECCIBLY HIGH STANDARD I WOULD HAVE EMPLOYED THE MERRY MAIDS FOR A WEEK TO MAKE SURE THERE WASNT A SPECK OF DUST ON THE CAMPSITE AND A 24 HOUR WATCH TO MAKE SURE NO TWIGS OR LEAVES FELL FROM THE TREES

 Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
 Liked Basic but friendly. Poor toilet and shower facilities. It us important to keep food safe as the place has a rat infestation.
 Disliked Rat infestation
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: its not an infestation, you seen a rat, rats are everywhere and as we are sittuated next to a copse and industrial estate you do get the odd rat and mouse sniffing around that live in there, we have special traps that catch these vermin and are ALWAYS containing poison, we use these as we dont want to harm cats,birds and the like,it states in the itinery that the outside toilet is nothing more than a portaloo converted to flush toilet and shower, not the ritz I know but most normal people are ok with it, you were offered the use of the pub showers and toilets anyway, do you think your getting a little old for camping, asking for a friend.......................
Didn't even try showers or toilets.
 Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
 Liked Nothing
 Disliked Why this site is on pitchup I don't know, it's the worst site we have been on. The place to park was full of scrap caravans and rubbish. If it hadn't been so late we would have driven off. Avoid. Landlord will say get a life, I'm sure.

Terrible!!
 Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
 Liked Nothing!
 Disliked Everything! It’s like a scrapyard for caravans, campers and knackered boats! There is old junk and piles of scrap everywhere and it looks like some homeless people are occupying some of the decaying vans. Don’t even ask about the toilet facilities as I don’t want to put anyone off their tea. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

From the manager: WHAT AN EXAGERATION !!!! you provide your own accomadation,was it that bad, we dont allow children on site, HOMELESS we have a few contractors staying here that work in the area but go home at weekends unless on overtime, customer service i stronghly disagree, have you got pictures to prove what your stating, I have a few small boats that are being restored ..NOT in the camping area, read the itinery of the site it states a portaloo with a shower and flush toilet, or use the pub facilities,its been quite acceptible by most people for a good while, read the reviews.... we say its a very basic site,ideal for just for a stopover, Cleanliness, nothing wrong with the camping area which is where you paid to stop over..
