Liked: Area the camp was in
Disliked: The toilets were very old and cold, the showers didn’t have doors, the men’s toilets had a hair dryer and the lady’s didn’t. One building had metal on the roof that had come loose and was very noisy in the wind. On arrival there is a sign that says do not pitch call the number first to be given a number. We called the number multiple times which went to voicemail on all of the times so just ended up pitching up anywhere

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely scenery and area around. Friendly site owner who was more than happy to help. Facilities were easily accessible. Pitches were more than enough room for both our car and tent with canopy.
Disliked: Pitch given to us was not level and therefore had to be quite close to a neighbouring tent. This may be due to recent wet weather conditions however! Not a great deal to do for visitors in nearby town but lots of lovely places to walk. Bathroom area could do with being checked more often and only two stalls meant a wait most times.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great location for hikes in the lakes, friendly farmer that towed us out when we got stuck in the mud, as the weather didn’t like our camper van. Good facilities for washing up cooking utensils. Friendly atmosphere and great Location. Dogs also very welcome.
Disliked: The local pub was fully booked so no food available, would have been more organised next time and would have booked a table for food.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice site, lots of room in pitch , everything there that is needed. We had a good 2 night stay. It was our second stay , first being 2 years ago , nice to see things improving and the fields not getting as muddy too
Disliked: It was a little bit loud on a night time with alot of chat and messing round but everyone was having fun , toilet could do with a mop or something just for the rain.
