Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The chilled/relaxed vibe of the place, just park up and choose a pitch, you're 100 yards from a brewery, cherry picking and a flower picking with a lovely farm shop and cafe at the top of the lane. Live music and a food truck on a Friday night was great.
Disliked: The situating of the actual camping could be further from the brewery car park, everyone who parks up is looking in on your camping, would be great to have a proper toilet and a washing up area but shower was fab. Only negative is that the large group next to us whilst lovely people did keep us awake until 2.30am shouting, laughing, slamming car boots etc so not a great nights sleep to say the least.

Liked: The pub next door
Disliked: I hate leaving bad reviews, but here we go. I can handle basic camping but that needs to be reflected in the price. £35 is too much when you’re providing so little. We were so underwhelmed we didn’t even stay the night and went home.

Liked: Relaxed and communicative hosts; location (aesthetically and in proximity to nice places); fire friendly!
Disliked: None. A proper toilet would be an improvement on portaloos, but it is camping after all.

Liked: A lovely little spot for camping, and close to some evening activity at the taproom next door. The shower was great, loads of hot water and a really good size for a campsite shower.

Liked: The Musket Brewery on site was the main attraction and the reason we chose the site.
Disliked: For the price the facilities are very poor. Don't get me wrong I have been happy on low grade campsites but I expect this to be reflected in the price. At Loddington there is no hot water anywhere. There are two chemical portaloos with hand sanitiser. The dish washing station is not plumbed into any water although there is a standpipe near by. The shower was an open fronted shed with a door for (partial) privacy. Anyone could easily look over the door whilst you shower. Other than for essential use of the toilets, no one on the campsite used any of the facilities. They were just useless. I think this is a start up campsite and I imagine they will develop the facilities with time but at the moment they are very below par for the charge.
