Catthorpe Towers Camping

Liked Massive site in nice surroundings
Very peaceful and dark
Clean toilet area close to the pitch
Dishwashing sink with very hot water close to the pitches

Disliked There is only currently one electricity box for about 5 hook ups so potentially vehicles could end up very close to each other depending on length of your own cable. We were luckily only one of two vans using the hook up so we could park far enough away to give each other privacy.

Liked Not many people due to starting out
Farm shop within about 5 minutes drive (not opposite this campsite)
A freezer was available too put my ice packs
My son enjoyed visiting the ponies in the field

Disliked A long walk to facilities
Washing up station was outside and difficult to get consistent hot water
Contact via telephone when arrived as it was not clear. A telephone message would help.
Busy motorways nearby so was very noisy at all times and effected our sleep.
We paid extra for showers but I was not able to leave my son due to distance and it was too far for him to go on his own (but within area). Therefore this was a waste of money.
Clearer signage would help as met by foreign signs (due to being part of Latvian trust) which was confusing
Due to lack of people, was quite isolating which at times was disconcerting.
The field was quite uneven and so difficult to find an even place to camp. We could have gone to the bottom of the field but this would have been a very long walk for toilets etc.

From the manager: Hi!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review!

I just wanted to clear up a couple of quick things to help out future guests:

Showers: We do have shower facilities available! They aren't located right in the field itself, but they're just around the corner. We send all the details, including links and directions, straight to your email.

Check-in: There’s no need to call us when you arrive, as all the info you need is in that same confirmation email. That said, we're always around and happy to help direct you if you ever get stuck!

Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to see you again soon!

Liked Spacious and very tidy. Loved the whole stay.

Liked friendly people. Good pub in the village.

Disliked There was a lot of noise from a wedding at the nearby manor. And limited washing facilities (no showers or washing up area)

From the manager: Hi, Emma!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and got to experience our great local village pub!

We are really sorry to hear that noise from the nearby manor’s wedding disrupted your stay. We completely understand how frustrating unwanted noise can be when you’re looking to unwind and we will try to ensure in the future if any events are happening outdoors near the Manor House, not to take any bookings for the campsite.

Regarding our facilities, we just wanted to clarify for future readers that we do have a dedicated washing-up area available on-site for all guests.
Additionally, while showers aren't included as standard to keep base rates lower, private shower slots can be easily added on during the booking process. We're sorry if this wasn't clear in the description of our campsite!

Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us make sure information is as clear as possible for everyone. Safe travels on your next camping trip!

Best regards,
Ance

Liked A huge eerie space and a lovely manor

Disliked It is not a campsite really. Though it has a lot of potential to become that.
There are toilets, but for just being a big field the price of £30 with electricity is about double of what you would expect to pay.

From the manager: Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the lovely setting of the nearby manor!

As we only opened our campsite a few weeks ago, we are currently trialing our setup to learn exactly what our guests need and what additions will help make this a truly great place to stay. We really appreciate your comment about the site having potential—everything is very much a work in progress, and feedback like yours is super helpful as we grow!

To keep the atmosphere spacious and uncrowded, we offer a £25 base pitch (which includes toilet facilities, drinking water, and washing-up areas) with an optional £5 for electric hook-up. We benchmarked this against regional standards for electric pitches, but we completely understand that every camper looks for different amenities.

Thank you again for being one of our very first guests and for helping us shape the future of our site. We wish you all the best on your travels!

Warm regards,
Ance

Liked Lovely relaxed site a short walk from the village pub. Clean facilities.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us! We're hard at work improving the site and adding amenities over time, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Liked Great location, amazing views from Pitch, and superb farm shop and cafe on site.

Disliked Maybe needs more toilets/showers when sore is full but not a major issue

From the manager: Thanks for staying with us, David! We really appreciate the great review. We’re continually upgrading the campsite and adding facilities as we grow, and we hope to see you again soon!
