From the manager: Hi Ian.
Glad about the good Bits Strange about the bad bits ,
We have a Pub on our Camp site yes so there will always be some noise on occasions but you are the 1st to outline it ,
probably best you go a Campsite with no Pub ?
The dog field is a Bonus for most people😊 the wood you talk about is the start of our bonfire ready for November nothing that would cause any issues to 99% of responsible dog owners !
Its something we gave to help dog owners who need to take there dogs for a walk away from other dogs
Regards Team Charlies
Fantastic site we will definitely be back.
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Absolutely lovely place to visit the toilet and shower area was fantastic very clean as they are clean regularly. We stayed in the chillout corner with friends and we definitely did that! On arrival we were welcomed by a very helpful worker who promptly showed us where to pitch and all about the site’s facilities. Although we didn’t eat in the pub we did see the level of fantastic food that was being served next time we shall definitely eat there. The staff where very friendly and the prices where great too. There is plenty to do nearby too we visited the monkey forest and the garden and shopping village in trentham was fantastic we only seen half of what they have there so we aim to come back and stay again prices to pitch where great the staff are great over all we had a great time thanks for having us!
