Umberslade Estate

Liked Nice and quiet

Facilities very clean

Lovely on site cafe

Disliked Random car outside the toilets with young lads in asking if this was a campsite?
The front gate on the roadside is out of order. A secure campsite is paramount, especially with my daughter and friend wandering around on their own.

Things for teenagers to do

Couldn’t find any showers

Lots of wasps around, I got stung waiting for Pizza. Plant mint, citronella, thyme, eucalyptus, and other strong-smelling plants around this area to create a natural barrier. And use citronella candles.

Liked Lots of space; good pizza place; nice cafe; toilets, showers washing facilities all excellent. Very good children’s playground. Very convenient and easy to get to.

Disliked The ‘rules’ stated no cars by pitches and yet everyone else seemed to have ignored this -either enforce this rule or don’t have it. I would assume this rule is on safety grounds… so all the more reason to enforce it.

Mess from bbqs left along edges of field. Music late at night from other campers. Bits of plastic and rubbish dotted around

Everything was very hands off, we were greeted only by a text message with arrival instructions. In some ways this is a good thing and everything felt simple but given the above I ended up feeling no one really cared about the camping, couldn’t be bothered with it (even to enforce their own rules).

Finally, It’s a real shame all the trees have been removed from the road leading to the site. This was such a distinctive feature. Perhaps this was done due to disease or something but it’s a real shame regardless, massively detracts from the feel of the place. Hopefully this can be improved in time.

Liked Loads of space between pitches

Disliked Distance to showers and toilets

Liked - Nice cafe on site which provided a delicious (albeit expensive) breakfast.
- Lovely play area and a small selection of farm animals. Great for toddlers / small children.
- The facilities were clean.

Disliked - Unfortunately there was an incredibly loud event nearby (possibly a wedding) the night we camped, which with v.loud music until 1.30am. Not the campsites fault but really annoying for us and meant we didn’t get much sleep. Would want to check there weren’t any local events planned before I considered returning.

Liked Great facilities, clean, lovely open space.
Cafe and pizza barn great. Good communication.

Disliked Only 2 showers for the whole campsite.

Liked Lovely place, fair pricing and nice countryside surroundings. All the facilities were clean and tidy and we had plenty of space on the field to ourselves. We enjoyed the pizza in the evening and coffee in the morning very much as well!

Liked Open space, excellent toilet and shower facilities, quiet, animal farm, park

Disliked I can't think of any negatives.

Liked The facilities were perfect for our needs- toilets and showers were clean and modern. The park was great for our young children and the pizza barn was an added bonus.

Liked Lovely place to stay, nice and quiet during the week. The showers and toilets are nice and clean will decently be staying again.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Quiet, clean toilets and showers, pizza and beer on site.

Definitely a place to bring younger children- shower also had seat to put your toddler in whilst you had a shower.

Disliked Could do with more showers- 2 for 60 plus people is not enough.
