Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Nice flat pitch with a clear sign that says to park up and pitch up anywhere. I arrived 19:15 on a Saturday evening and it was quite busy, so I stayed in what I’d describe as an overspill type field. Owners really friendly! The onsite homemade pizza looked so nice.
Perfect site super close to Tittesworth Reservoir where I was doing a trail race next day.
Disliked Only 4 toilets available closest to me which was still quite a walk. Long queue for the loos first thing which wasn’t ideal - need more for the volume of campers there were!
Relaxed campsite, very friendly, level pitches.

Liked Loved the onsite pizza van and views
Thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay. Will definitely return.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The location was perfect. We chose somewhere close to home as testing out new equipment. Pub with great food on the doorstep. The freedom to pitch where we wanted on the camping field. Clean toilets, well stocked with loo paper. Showers which had good pressure and no tiresome push button. £1 for 5 mins, which was plenty of time.
Disliked Not really an issue as we were prepared having read the reviews but no hot water available at the pot wash. Had to boil own water on pitch to wash pots.
Really friendly staff, good size pitches and well kept.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everyone was respectful and adhered to the 22:00 no noise.
Hiring the fire pit was really useful.
It was nice to pick our own spot and it didn't feel like everyone was on top of each other.
We picked a good weekend to stay with the weather.
Disliked My only dislike was we had decided to have Pizza from the onsite pizza place on Saturday night but they ran out of dough at 19:00.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Scenery was lovely.
Disliked We counted 200 plus people for 4 toilets,
As a result of this the toilets were not clean,
shower ratio to people was not enough,
A food van was 2 meters next to toilets.
Lovely stay

Liked Spacious site, lots of areas to choose from. Great location, lovely walk round the reservoir too, dog friendly. Pizza van on site
Disliked Not the sites fault, large group next to us with loud music all day and the same song at least 15 times over.
Great site with food van with reasonable prices for tasty food!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Freedom to choose where you want to pitch. Renting of firepit was easy and everyone we spoke to was friendly
Disliked Could’ve done with some more showers and toilets - although we did stay on a Saturday night and the site was very busy in particular!
Overall a good relaxed site with lots of local walks etc

From the manager: Hi matthew, thanks for your review, we really appreciate them. I just wanted to add there was security on this weekend, we usually do it ourselves but we hired a company in, he was definitely here because we saw him ourselves both nights. Also my number is on the confirmation booking. It's on the large sign at the entrance and also Google. I'm always available, we live on site so if there ever was an emergency I'm very contactable.
