Camping pod
Liked: Brilliant site. Toilets and showers spotless. Little shop for anything you forgot. We stayed in a pod, it has heater and lighting, picnic bench outside which came in handy. Staff very welcoming. Fire pits and wood delivered to our pod. Great dog walking field where you can let your dog off the lead. Will definately go back. Plenty space for kids to run around. There's also a dog shower

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: What a gem. Intended to stay for one night only as I was touring around, ended up staying three nights. Superb site, facilities and staff, very friendly and accommodating. Excellent location for the peaks and beyond, I still have more hills to climb so will definitely return. Many thanks for the hospitality.
Disliked: NONE

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Orcaber is one of our go to sites. We have been pitching up for the last 4 years and have stayed in tents and now our caravan. The site is always clean. The facilities are extremely well kept. The site seems to be making improvements each year for example the shop, extra washing stations and weekend takeaways. The staff and friendly and approachable. The site is child and pet friendly and feels safe. The tent and caravan pitches have adequate space and the caravan pitches have own water connections which is an added bonus. The site has beautiful views and is only a short drive away from a number of areas of natural beauty.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Showers clean and facilities good.
Disliked: On pitch up I was allowed to book a motorhome grass pitch without ehu which suited us as we are self contained. Arrived to be told that they had been cancelling bookings because the ground was waterlogged. We had not been contacted however. After some thought they showed us to a part of the field they thought 'might be alright '. Immediately after driving on we realised we were stuck and could not even used our levelling ramps. After 15 minutes the owner came and towed us off. I suggested that we stay in the carpark overnight and that the next morning could leave as all the hardstanding pitches were full. I said we would accept a refund of 2 of the 3 nights booked; I was happy to pay for one night in their carpark! The owner was not happy for us to do this. He was quite abrupt and said ' you booked a grass tent pitch '. I didn't book a tent. I booked a Motorhome grass pitch; I assumed that as I had been able to book it that it would be ok. And that if that wasn't the case, that my booking would be cancelled in advance and refunded. In the end another member of staff allowed us to park on a seasonal pitch that contained a small caravan. He said he ' didn't think the owners would turn up but if they did we would have to leave '. Consequently we felt like squatters and everytime we heard a car we thought it was the pitch owners! We left a day early in the end. £100 to sublet a seasonal pitch for 2 nights is not my idea of good value.
