What customers say
This is a friendly, peaceful campsite with spacious, level pitches, many with EHU and water. The on-site pub is a highlight, offering a welcoming atmosphere and regular live music. Guests praise the helpful staff and the excellent fishing lake. While some toilet and shower facilities are reported as dated, they are generally clean and functional. Occasional noise from trains or events can occur.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Overall, Skipworth Arms offers a well-located and spacious place
Electric optional hardstanding pitch
Liked Great stay at Skipworth Arms. The location is really convenient and easy to access. I had originally booked a pitch with a hook-up, but my friends had already set up in a non hook-up area. After speaking with the owner, it was no problem at all to move—very accommodating and helpful. The site itself is fantastic, with plenty of space and a lovely setting overlooking the pond. It feels open and relaxed rather than crowded. Fishing was excellent too, which made the stay even better.
Would definitely recommend and happily return
Disliked Overall, a pleasant stay at Skipworth Arms with some positives, but a few areas that could be improved. The washing area for pots was well-maintained and practical, which was appreciated. However, the main letdown was the toilet block, which unfortunately could have been cleaner during our stay. I was also unable to access the showers, so I’m unable to comment on those facilities. With a bit more attention to the cleanliness of the amenities, this would be a much stronger experience.

Liked Nice quiet site, not too close to other pitches.
Hard standing pitches has electric payable on a top up card system that was very easy to use and have mains water hookup which was a handy facility.
Pub doesn't do food which is a shame but wasn't a problem having our caravan gor self catering. The site rent and pub prices I thought were great value for money and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Nice place to stay,not expensive but don't expect 5 star facilities.
Electric optional hardstanding pitch
Liked A nice site next to a lake at the rear of the pub. Facilities are fine although a little dated but are kept very clean. A lovely area for walking as it is close to the Viking way. There is a railway next to the site but the occasional train noise didn't bother us. The pub is a proper old style pub but with sport tv,poll table and a lovely log burner when its cold. No food available other than snacks. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Disliked Nothing really to dislike,its not posh but its nice!
