What customers say
This is a developing site with large, level pitches, many fully serviced with water and electricity. Guests praise the spaciousness, the friendly and helpful owner, and the unique bonus of observing rescued donkeys. Conveniently located for the NEC and local amenities, it's a peaceful stopover. Some road noise is noted, and the lack of toilet/shower facilities is a consideration, though plans for improvement are in progress.

Excellent site.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Excellent lines of communication - on line booking through club membership, on arrival was clearly directed to our pitch even without the manager being there.
Electricity was easy to access via QR code on the connection box on the pitch.
Water connection also on pitch. All in all excellent value and perfect for a stopover - with the added bonus of Donkeys, Alpacas and sheep to make the site comfortable.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very spacious fully serviced pitches.
Donkeys and lambs were gorgeous ☺️
Disliked No shower or toilet blocks yet but the price reflected that and was clearly stated. Will be amazing once it’s all done.
Bit of noise from the road but it didn’t bother us.

Good potential for CL site
Anonymous Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Owner, staff all very friendly, it was busy with visitors to the Donkey Sanctuary, they are doing wonderful work with this.
As site is work in progress you can visualise the potential. Great access from main routes. Walking distance to canal, local pubs and Knowle.
Disliked Unable to take our dogs over to cafe, or to see the donkeys due to a previous incident with campers dog attacking owners dogs. A minority spoil it for the rest of us responsible dog owners.
Road noise could be issue to some.

Would not return
Anonymous Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Spacious pitches and water on pitch is good.
Disliked Welcome from owner was non existant suggest customer relations course. Very little information given such as gate at end of site, no dogs allowed to end of site - (despite owners dogs off lead and wandering), electric metering very expensive and difficult to regulate.
