Fabulous camp site
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Very clean site, kids loved the park and footy pitch. My kids likes going into Jaks barn of the evening.
Disliked On the one night the chips seemed a bit stale, but the next night they were good.

Retro
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Great location an hour outside of wales/chester. Enjoyed the friendly geordies on site and the majority of the staff were helpful and friendly. Big pitch on orange field, lots of parks and farm animals for the kids and a pool. Entertainment was decent, shop onsite and cafe serving good, basic food. Major plus is the campers actually seemed to respect the quiet hours too, maybe the 24/7 wardens and owners on site make some think twice. Overall great experience, would be great for families with little ones.
Disliked Quite a retro vibe, feels like it could do with modernising. Showers I would have appreciated a mixer so you can choose the temperature.

Large campsite suitable for large groups. Very lively.
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Pitch space is more than adequate. We camped in dog free zone in orange section. The park was great for the kids and the pool. Although water appeared murky most days. Suitable takeaway on site, not overly expensive same for the shop onsite.
Disliked Toilets! Absolutely disgusting!! Through no fault of the site, how people thinks it’s acceptable to leave toilets is beyond me. Site was too busy for our liking, music being played loudly until after midnight most evenings. Portable showers are not cleaned thoroughly. Parents allow kids to poop in them and it flows through to all showers. Someone took our pitch space which caused further confusion for the family arriving on the Friday. It felt like the attendant was going to ask us to move even though we’d been pitched for 4 days.

Great site. Friendly staff. Flat pitches.
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Pitches were well kept. Plenty of toilets and showers. Well stocked shop. Pool system worked well.
Disliked Orange field is a treak to washing up and CD facilities could do with a disposal option so when washing up in the tent you can dispose of the water. Pool was so cold not really heated.

Friendly staff, facilities cleaned regularly, good sized pitches.
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Facilities, pitch size and pool.
Disliked Noisey neighbours playing loud music and just being loud into the wee hours for two nights, yet on our third and last night we were asked to turn our music down (that was not that loud tbf) at around 10pm! Wasps nest in park area that we were pitched close to, so inundated with the little blighters.

Great holiday.
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked I had never been camping before so this was my first experience. I went with a group of friends and we had a great time. My little girl really took advantage of the space.
It's situated in a great location for traveling and we went to a dinosaur park and bewilderwood. A great holiday.
Disliked The only thing was the shower block was a little muddy when I went in a few times and some of the toilets were not working for part of the holiday. However my friends said it's not usually like that so maybe a problem on that weekend?

Overall excellent campsite
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Size of the pitch, space between. There's plenty for the children on site like the pool (although this is freezing and there's no place to change there and not much toilet facilities at the pool) 2 parks, golfing, animals, kids disco. Staff really helpful and polite.
Disliked The toilets and showers could of done with being cleaned more often. The first time they were good but not so much this time. This may of been due to the campsite being really full due to school holidays
Could do with somewhere to change at pool and a small clean toilet as the swimming pool. As currently you have to leave and go round the corner to one thats not very nice.
