Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful setting and excellent facilities. The shower and toilet blocks were kept spotlessly clean. There were 2 male and 2 female blocks, meaning there was always one available even when cleaning was carried out.
The showers were well designed with ample space to sit, a hook on the door, space to put your toiletries and a choice of overhead or hand held shower. All this for a very reasonable charge of 50p for 10 minutes!
Free use of hairdryers and plug sockets were much appreciated bonuses.
There was also plenty of space for washing up which was also kept clean and tidy.
BBQs and firepits are permitted and wood and kindling can be bought on site. Loan of the firepit is free.
There is a small well stocked shop which sells the usual essentials plus a useful range of camping items. Also on Saturday evening you can order pizza or burgers, and on Sunday morning, a bacon buttie!
A thoughtful little extra is a number of table and bench sets scattered around to be enjoyed on a 'first come' basis.
Lastly, but important to me, there was a large freezer to keep ice packs, in the information room which also had plenty of leaflets and brochures about the surrounding area.
Disliked: My only slight reservation was regarding the music playing loudly and constantly in the shower and toilet block.
This is of course very much a personal thing but I felt the volume was excessive and maybe could have stopped at around 9pm.

Liked: Top notch experience. Location was brilliant. The pitches were fantastic - spacious, water, drainage (grey water) and power (not metered). The facilities were new and clean and very well appointed. The magic ingredient was the staff - friendly, always ready to help and firm when applying rules - made for a welcoming and enjoyable environment.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing! Moved to another site after Orcaber and the family agreed that on no measure was Orcaber beaten.
