What customers say
Charlie Bassetts is praised for its friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and spacious pitches. The on-site pub is a highlight, offering great food and a welcoming atmosphere with regular entertainment. It's considered a good base for local attractions and walks. While generally well-regarded, a few guests noted occasional issues with WiFi connectivity and a desire for more showers during peak times.

Fantastic place - highly recommended
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Great atmosphere, live music, nice food, welcoming hosts, nice location, fantastic pub on site.
Disliked Could ideally do with more toilets and showers but we always survive! If you want a reall quiet break then probably not for you but you could easily enjoy your stay without using the pub....just not sure why you'd want to when it's so pleasant.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome on arrival with useful info about the site provided. We were placed on a pitch close to the open fields at the bottom of the site and had a lovely outlook over open fields. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Being at the back of a pub it was handily placed for an easy meal on the Saturday of our 2 night stay, food was well cooked and at a good price. Happy to recommend.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great little campsite, all the amenities you need and the toilets/showers are some of the nicest and cleanest we've seen.
The pub was great, both nights there was live music and the atmosphere was lovely. The fun day and dog show was a great day and a nice bonus for our weekend visit. The outdoor area with the large softplay blocks was a hit with the kids, they had a lovely time and already want to go back, which we absolutely will do!
Disliked Only slight improvement would be the play area as there isn't a huge amount to it and would benefit from a bit more for kids to do, but not really a dislike as such!
