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.

Camping pod (large)
Liked This is a fantastic place, the pod we stayed in was lovely and cozy, even though it snowed. The showers are brilliant, very clean and hot. They have two shower heads at different heights which is great if you don't want to wet your hair. Jamie and his wife(the wardens) were super friendly and helpful, went above and beyond. The showers and toilets were a short walk from the pods, this was a little inconvenient in the dark. I would suggest a couple of hooks in the pod for coats would be really handy.We also went to the new inn at Clapham for Sunday roast which was lovely and would recommend, it's under new management and staff are very friendly

Disliked Shop had no basics like bread, rice. A 50p dispenser would be useful as the reception/ shop was hardly open.

Liked Honestly what did I not like I stopped on ST08 and it was so peaceful and relaxing
Everything was immaculate, the washroom had underfloor heating, the showers and toilet area were the best I have seen.
If I had to rate this campsite out of 100 I would seriously score it 1000!
Highly recommended i will be back 100% the best campsite I have ever stayed on
Disliked I’m usually one to complain but I couldn’t fault this place in any way shape or form
