Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)
Liked Lovely picturesque spot right near the river with some lovely walks and a good cafe on site. Very helpful staff and easy to get to .
Disliked Unfortunately the lake in the middle of the campsite, pretty though it was, meant that there was serious mosquito problem - the mosquitoes were huge (bigger than I had ever seen) and lots of them. We all ended up with a lot of bites, in spite of bringing repellant. This does mean we won't be coming back, which is a shame, as it was a lovely spot in all other regards.

A perfect little spot for easy access to the river.
Non-electric forest floor motorhome pitch (woodland)
Liked Lovely campsite. We really enjoyed our visit. The toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly. Access to the river was easy and straight forward.
The location is beautiful, we were a little dubious when we arrived at an industrial estate but once you cross through the gate it's a little spot of paradise. The café was good and the co-op was handy, literally over the road.
Would highly recommend. We had a fabulous time and will be returning!!
Disliked The mosquitos!! Bring some deet.
Obviously not the managements fault but just a warning to pack some spray!
