What customers say
This is a large, well-maintained woodland campsite with exceptionally spacious pitches, ideal for families and groups seeking freedom and nature. Visitors praise the abundance of activities, friendly staff, and good value for money. However, several reviews highlight concerns regarding the cleanliness and upkeep of toilet and shower facilities, with some guests finding them dated and a long distance from pitches. Limited activities for very young children and occasional noise issues were also mentioned.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Friendly staff. Great site all round.
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, wild)
Liked The space, The price, the facilities on site.
Disliked Maybe the wild camping toilets to have some lighting? Solar powered perhaps. But that is just being picky!

Electric optional grass pitch (large, no pets)

Pub/restaurant with two pool tables.
Plenty of activities to do, (at extra cost).
Outdoor swimming pool ( open in summer).
Lots of fields to play football or other games.
Good walks around the site. All staff were amazing and helpful when needed.
Shop on site, only for certain things, not everything.
WiFi at the pub area. If your lucky, you can get it in the field and surrounding areas, depends on your phone.

Would definitely come back again as such a great site, so much space.
Electric optional grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Huge pitch, loads of space great site surprised that it was so empty. Activities were good, boys enjoyed them. Facilities basic but adequate & clean. Activities good value for money.
Disliked Nothing, could have hair dryers in shower block or at least a plug socket to plug one in but wasn't a major issue. Also EHU being 6 amp is a struggle but we knew that before we booked.

The touring pitches were easily accessible…
Electric optional grass pitch (no pets)
Liked The touring pitches were easily accessible on a large flat field. The staff were very friendly and the activities were great.
Disliked Showers were dirty and the pitches had no privacy. It is not made clear in the information that the WiFi is only available in the bar, not on the pitches.
