What customers say
This is a friendly, clean, and well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches, ideal for families and dog owners. Visitors appreciate the helpful staff, the well-stocked shop, and the pleasant natural surroundings. However, some reviewers note that the toilet and shower facilities are limited in number, and the nearby go-kart track can be noisy at times. Plans are in place for facility upgrades.

Very nice campsite needs an upgrade on facilities. Would go again
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely campsite with lovely staff very therapeutic at night with the swamp life noises. Good for kids and safe
Disliked Shop would close intermittently throughout the day sometimes for long periods. Poor toilet/shower facilities for the size of the site and constantly flooded for shower use.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and feed back. The weekend you stayed was very busy and the staff were stretched to be covering all areas at once unfortunately. Its rare the shop would ever be open all day but it is available up till 8pm, we would normally put the sign in the door to say what time someone would be back or there is a number to call to be able to ask. We are planning to have new facilities for next season which you can imagine is very costly. I feel our price reflects our site fairly :)
All rest…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked All rest
Disliked allocated fields, too few toilets and showers
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for a great review. Unfortunately on pitch up there is not the option to choose your own pitch but we do allow it :) We are hoping to get more toilets/showers in time for next year but its a lengthy process unfortunately. We agree though, we would like more :)
Mostly enjoyed the stay but won't return
Electric grass pitch
Liked Kids play area is nice, next to a good football and volleyball pitch. Space to put outside tents, shop well stocked, great local beer, reception staff was lovely.
Disliked Bathroom block is a bit of a walk and not as clean as we would have liked, big groups listening to music all day and night.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and feedback. We are hoping to get a new shower block which will be closer next year :) Sorry top hear the facilities were not as clean as you'd like, we normally have lots of reviews saying how clean they are, so must have been a one off. Will look into this though so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Sorry you found the groups noisy, we do ask groups to be respectful of other guests :)
All good
Non-electric grass pitch

Excellent site with clean facilities
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pitches are great, plenty of room
Disliked Limited shower availability during peak times. Lack of lighting at night
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your great review and feedback. We are hoping to get a new shower block for next season as we agree there are not enough. Lighting we actually like the lack of it on site as it allows to stargaze without any light pollution which is getting harder to do these days :)
Nice friendly site with large pitches…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice friendly site with large pitches and a well stocked shop for all essentials.

From the manager: Thank you for a wonderful review. Hopefully we will welcome you back again soon :)
Great but some issues with tent space allocation
Electric grass pitch
Liked The facilities were always clean and tidy
Great freezer, very handy
Great view
Disliked My tent ended up being too close to other neighboors because all tents were allocated in a circle around the campsite when so much more space was left empty in the middle. I believe if the tent/caravan space were allocated in a spiral it would work better

From the manager: Thank you for a lovely review and feedback. Hopefully we will see you again soon.
Would go again. Lots of space.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious, could being Garden games e.g badminton.
Security on the toilets to access with fob.
Family shower room.
Park was ample.
Shop had ample supplies, staff were friendly.
Disliked Shower wasn't brilliant. Sprays outwards not on you.
Our neighbours were extremely loud all day and night but once they left was a well rounded campsite. Not the campsite fault.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for a great review and feedback. Sorry your neighbours were not considerate. We always ask guests to let us know of any noise complaints so we can speak with them :)
Nice site, decent space in between…
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nice site, decent space in between pitches, great little shop and very friendly staff, would definitely go back.
Disliked Showers are a bit tight and if you were on the larger size would be bit of a squeeze but having said that they were adequate and clean.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for a lovely review and feedback :)
Overall, a great site, expanded toilet/shower facilities are needed.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great welcome from the staff, very helpful with one of our party getting their van stuck.
The pitch sizes are great, plenty of room. So nice to be able to have fire pit too!
Disliked Facilites are limited, with only 2 showers and 2 toilets in both the mens and ladies ablutions. For the size of the site this really isn’t sufficient.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for a lovely review.
We agree about the showers, we are in the process of upgrading our shower block which is not an easy or fast process unfortunately. We are hoping for next season to have a new block. :)
