What customers say
This is a new, adult-only campsite praised for its beautiful location, clean and modern facilities, and friendly staff. Pitches are well-maintained and flat, offering lovely views. While some guests noted occasional aircraft or racetrack noise, most found the site peaceful. Provisions for motorhomes are still developing. Close to local pubs and walking routes.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely well run site, clean facilities, fabulous views. Ray was kind and helpful and we would be happy to visit again if we can.
Planes and Donnington not a problem, we enjoyed seeing planes take off and Donnington was a distant noise and not bothersome at all.
Breedon and the church were well worth a visit, lovely walks.
Some things were above and beyond control of the management but Ray did his utmost to resolve the problem.
We hope Barley Fields can reopen at some point in the future.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely location, nice easy walk into Breedon with 2 good pubs. Rural outlook and excellent facilities.
Disliked Very disappointing that there were noisy children on site, despite us booking on the understanding that it was an adult only site. We had our dogs with us, who aren't great with children, so we left early unfortunately.

From the manager: Thanks for your review. We are strictly adults only but the children belonged to a traveller family who forced their way on to the site and refused to move on so apologies for this.
Great facilities and location.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Beautifully stunning views. Ray, Dave & their partners a were all on hand and went above and beyond over the weekend. Making us feel welcome.
Ray is clearly very proud of his site and so he should be.
Easy walks around the site to local village and church.
Airport near by gives a great view of planes landing and taking off
Personally loved the sound of the bikes racing round Doddington Race track. Actually had a lazy Saturday afternoon nap listening to them 😛
Disliked Nothing.
