Nice big camp site. Bar ladies…
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Nice big camp site. Bar ladies extremely friendly. Mobile toilet block faily clean
Disliked Cafe staff miserable
Site i would say needs a good bit of attention little to scruffy for me.
Toilet block near the entrance was disgusting.
Having to book pool put me us off too

Don't be fooled terrible site. Badly ran not for families. Portaloo
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Pool and pool staff.
Disliked Drug use in club. Noise level and lack of staff of an evening. Setting up confusion. Had to wait to pitch a tent in a marked bay for staff to come and tell me how to pitch. No idea why, ridiculous.
security were needed of an evening, none to be seen, to control drunk, drugged out of control gangs of campers. It is advertised as a family site, but it was for large groups. We left 2 days early I would never return.

A large family friendly site with entertainment but needs investment.
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Great to come back with grandchildren after 30 years! Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the manager of JAKKS and the swimming pool. Good communication and organisation and very family friendly. We enjoyed being on the TOP field out of the way and using our bikes to get around. Kids loved the facilities
Disliked It was very very busy and the fields were all occupied as it was good weather in August! The toilets and showers at the top field were just like festival toilets and struggled to cope with the amount of campers. Some people were up until early hours making noise. Perhaps more showers and toilets needed and investments in the cleanliness. Lots of litter - I picked from our field. The 4pm pool slot was too busy but we had it to ourselves at 10am! Could be cleaner but heavily populated.

Overall the site was nice 1st day was crowded 2nd day more quieter
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Onsite entertainment everything was clean and friendly staff the club house was great as well
Disliked Not much to do in the town centre difficult to get food after 3pm but this has nothing to do with the campsite as they have a cafe and food was available

Good site, good value for money with plenty to do. Although very busy
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Location was great, amenities at the site were good. On site shop sold lots of things that we needed.
On site cafe (although did not use) was perfect for takeaway options and option to use club house was also great.
Drinking walking very close to site.
Very friendly staff, even helping find your pitch.
Disliked Very busy site, which unfortunately meant some people left the toilets in a bit of a mess; soiled underpants in the gents, and sick all over the porta-loos. Nothing to do with the site itself as it was otherwise generally clean.
Fair old trek to the toilets if your on the furthest away camping field, and washing up station.
As it was busy, children, dogs and people running all over the place, which made very difficult to drive through. Potentially needs some kind of footpath for pedestrians?

✅ Reception Staff where informative and welcoming.
Groundsmen where helpful and friendly and delt with any problems straight away in a professional manner.
Other park staff were all friendly and chatty.
✅I was on the top field and it was well marked out, good size pitches, grass cut, everyone spaced out and lots of water points .
We had a great weekend, cheap an cheerful site. If the kids are happy then adults are happy x
Disliked ❌ slightly outdated
❌Some pitches(seasonal) were not maintained and let the site down as you drive through
❌ Nothing to do off site in walking distance so would struggle if staying more than 2-3 nights

lots to do 8 year old…
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked lots to do 8 year old daughter loved it, pool great but was cold when we went as it was very windy, really enjoyed the frisbee game
Disliked overflowing bins, tents very close together and so very noisy at night once the club house kicked everyone out because people were going back to their tents to party so some families may not like this, wardens never seen
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review,
Yes the bins were a problem in your area (and this weekend in general), even though they were emptied on Saturday.
Also sorry you felt overcrowded on the small pitches that you booked, as they're only really designed for a 4x8 meter unit including gazebo. Tents are getting much bigger these days, so we are thinking of phasing them out.
We do have a 24 hour warden phone number so you can report any problems day or night. I I know they were in the area late on Friday and Saturday night as I walked round that with them but this was about 1 o'clock in the morning by then.
Hope to see you again soon.
Kind Regards
Robert
