What customers say
Visitors praise the vast, spacious fields offering freedom to pitch and enjoy peace, with many highlighting the lovely river access for water sports and walks. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere are frequently mentioned positives. While electric pitches can be close together, non-electric fields provide ample room. Some guests experienced noise from other campers and noted areas needing maintenance or more facilities. The closure of on-site attractions was noted by some.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The space , peaceful and well kept grass areas.
Disliked Showers were very compact and very little room. Unable to keep clothes dry with only one peg. Nowhere to put shower gel etc. Toilets in old block do not flush very well. Would like to see more water points in ALL of the fields please.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The campsite is huge, the pitches are well spaced. They accommodated putting a few pitches next to each other for our gang. It felt really private. The river running through the park is wonderful and we had the best time paddle boarding! Water is clean and calm - a huge bonus!
Disliked The shower blocks and toilet blocks could do with a bit more regular cleaning, they weren’t the best I’d been to. The facilities are good but they felt really dirty.

Great if quiet otherwise taken over by large groups playing loud music
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Large fields, freedom of pitch location, loads of space between pitches in the camping pitch
Disliked Large groups playing loud music into early hours of the morning, would not recommend for people seeking relaxing stay or with young children with early bed times
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am sorry you did not enjoy your 1 night stay due to noisy campers not adhering to the site rules.
We did a drive around the campsite from 9pm until 1130pm, there was one large group playing music and we asked them to turn the music off and to be respectful of other campers. It would appear that they turned the music back on, had we been called out we would have gone back to them, our mobile number is printed on the front of the cards which everyone is given when checking-in.
This is not a regular occurence and many guests enjoy their stay and return.
Very nice
