Electric grass touring pitch

Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked We booked this site as we had not long purchased our very first campervan. Having no experience of camping at all, we were so impressed by the facilities. The shower blocks are modern and clean, there is a washing up station, a washing machine, library and there is so much for the kids to do. The animal trail was really nice and the lakes are very pretty. Staff are really friendly, the pitches are well spaced. We camped with a one year old and a five year old and the children felt more than welcome there with a play area for them. This is only around a mile from our house and was a test site for us to get to grips with the camper but we will no doubt book another night as the kids loved it.
Disliked We actually didn’t have anything at all that we disliked, it was reasonably priced and far exceeded our expectations of a camp site.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful campsite, the staff were really friendly and helpful. Didn't use cafe but looked and smelt great. Nice hot shower.
Disliked Only thing was the pitches are named but not allocated and one evening we had to move spots. Would suggest a floor squeegee so customers can move water into drain as I have experienced in lots of other places, keeps floor drier too
