Electric grass pitch
Liked Location is pretty nice and some lovely walks from the site into the Forrest. (Don’t use their booklet at all cost)
Cleanliness of the toilets and showers.
Disliked Really quite unfriendly from the off,. Dogs are allowed however the lead police seem to prioritise catching you with the lead off your dog than providing friendly customer service! We had our 12 week old puppy off the lead writhing 5m off our camper and were told to get her on a lead!…errrr why, she is enjoying a chew laid down and is the size of a baby Jack Russel!
Next came the WiFi, signal not great and the WiFi you have to pay for which when the site is hardly cheap is unnecessary.
The walks in and around the site, which are printed in the shop have to be bought, which again I think is unnecessary and greedy, not only that, but the printed route is well outdated and is not representative of what reference points are now there, resulting in getting lost on numerous occasions.
Overall we were very disappointed with the our experience and was compounded by the lady in the shop giving 3 young children a proper dressing down when all they were trying to do was spend their money. It was so uncalled for that another guy in the shop went to find their parents to let them know they had done nothing wrong at all.
Lovely area, poor experience, such a shame.
Excellent site with clean facilities and friendly staff.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything, spotless very well maintained & established site, with everything for everyone, great friendly very attentive staff, very well run. Lots of walks nearby, lots of parks for all ages, secluded pitches, quiet pitches, just can’t find anything wrong with it, a village with a couple of pubs about 45 minute walk, great site overall 10/10

Electric grass pitch
Liked Parks are ideal for children of all age. Facilities - toilet, showers and washing up area all cleaned to a high standard.
Shop is well stocked and staff are friendly.
Disliked The ground is very hard, which obviously can’t be changed but maybe some warning when or after booking to advise of this and to bring lots of tent pegs.
Site is exactly as advertised
Electric grass pitch
Liked Requested a quiet area as we don’t have kids yet so didn’t want to be near the play park which was accommodated. Facilities and site were clean, ANPR for entry and exit secured the site a bit more so felt safer I imagine for families with small children.
Our dog is our baby and a spaniel needs exercise, there is two dog walk areas, one is a big field which we appreciate as they could have just put more camp spaces but haven’t.
Disliked The shorter loop dog walk sign goes from grass walk through to a forested part which had a wire fence so lead to basically nothing? People had smashed the fence down so you could walk over it and make a loop back to the camp site but seemed a bit odd.
Nothing the site can do but oh my trying to get tent pegs and wind break into the ground which was so dry was very difficult, make sure you’ve got a good hammer and a strong man.
