What customers say
This is a well-maintained and exceptionally clean campsite with spacious, level pitches. Guests consistently praise the modern and immaculate toilet and shower facilities, many highlighting the hot water and good water pressure. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. The site is ideally located for walks and exploring the surrounding countryside, with a dedicated dog exercise area. On-site food options, particularly pizza and bacon sandwiches, are popular. While most guests have no dislikes, some mention occasional noise from other campers and a desire for more on-site activities for children.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Plenty of space on the electric hook up pitches. Good clean facilities from the 2 shower blocks and washing up areas. Little shop selling essentials and free fire pits if you would like one, you just need to buy the logs. Visited over a bank holiday weekend so the site was rather busy. Lots of walks in the surrounding areas. Nice little pub 30 minute walk from the site. You can pre order pizzas on a Saturday night which were lovely.
Disliked We were pitched far side of the field and its a good walk to the toilet block.

Well maintained site with spacious flat pitches and dog friendly.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Choice of pitch, which was spacious and could park next too. Staff were very friendly.
Firepits allowed (and available from site). Shower facilities were clean and spacious.
Dog walk field was great and enclosed meaning could let dog off the lead.

Amazing, with clean facilities and plenty of space
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Massive campsite with plenty of space even when it’s busy. The owners and staff are very polite and helpful. Plenty of toilets and showers (50p for 10mins) and they are extremely clean and are regularly cleaned throughout the day. Pizzas on Saturdays are amazing and bacon/sausage sarnies on Sunday morning too. Very close to nice walks/hikes/a little river
