Non-electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Reception staff and wardens were really friendly, pitches were big and the kids liked the park.
Good location for what we wanted.
Disliked Toilet/shower blocks were awful. Even when they were cleaned, it felt dirty and smelly.
Some other campers were rude and disrespectful, disregarding most of the rules. They gave the place a horrible atmosphere.
Won't stay again.

Would give it at 3.5 out of 5 stars but wouldn’t return.
Non-electric grass pitch (large)
Liked We enjoyed our stay .. well organised on arrival and staff where great and helpful, the tent pitches were big, lots to do for children on site including 2 parks, animals, kids entertainment (only on some nights), outdoor swimming pool (which is we also well organised). And also things to do for children near by.. We visited the ironworks museum and hoo zoo. Both great days out and around half an hour drive away.
Disliked Toilets are dated I’d would have said unclean but there was always cleaners in cleaning them, grass wasn’t the best for pegs and I would be careful driving on the grass as I seen lots of pegs and screws left when walking to the toilet, there was a few loud families (swearing and there was even a scuffle between 2 families) but this can’t be helped by the campsite and it never kept us awake. They did keep all of us together on a huge field which I didn’t see the point in but again didn’t keep us awake, pool wasn’t the cleanest and the food at the cafe was awful.
