Disappointing stay. Not worth the money.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The toilets were clean.
Disliked We had high hopes for this campsite, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The pitches were incredibly cramped — it felt like we were just squeezed into a caravan field with no space or privacy at all.
To make things worse, the area was full of wasps, making it uncomfortable to sit outside or enjoy any part of the day.
The biggest disappointment was the soft play. It was the main reason we booked this site for our kids, but it was privately hired out during our stay with no mention on the website that you needed to book in advance. Our children were so let down, and we were left trying to find ways to keep them entertained elsewhere.
To top it all off, it was expensive for what we got. Definitely not value for money and sadly, not somewhere we’d return or recommend.

Electric grass and gravel pitch
Liked Toilets were clean and functional with plenty of toilet rolls , handwash and paper towels.
Disliked It’s really hard to describe this site . I felt that whilst the photos of the site aren’t inaccurate as such they don’t quite reflect the overall vibe of the site . There are a number of permanent pitches and some of these don’t do the site any favours in the way that they are presented.
We were staying 4 nights and on the Saturday night it felt as though more caravans and tents were squeezed onto the site in-between pitches. Despite this it wasn’t noisy and campers were all nice and well behaved.
As mentioned in other reviews , there are separate sections of what I think are contract workers who use same facilities. I didn’t have any issues with them but it just changed the atmosphere for us personally.
Could do with some dog waste bins around the place to encourage people to do the right thing.
In fairness we weren’t fishing so I can’t comment on that , maybe that changes things for people.
For us it didn’t meet expectations and I wish I had heeded the comments in the reviews I read.
