Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Good friendly welcoming site which accommodates a good range of guests
Electric grass and gravel pitch
Liked Friendly welcoming staff.
Facilities good.
Interesting range of catering vans visiting. Something for everyone. Good sized, well maintained pitches. Wooden fencing behind pitches felt like you had your own space.

Lovely staff, clean facilities but wouldn’t return sadly
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The staff were so personal, especially the young lad in the shop working, what a credit to his parents he is.
The toilets and showers were very tidy
The small touches such as the washing up bowls, sponges, washing liquid
The shop, whilst it was small, it had a great variety
Park was a nice touch but very small
The arcade area for the children was great
Lovely locations
Disliked Rather packed in, as it’s a very small campsite.
The free roaming children - especially some teenagers who were rather rude, extremely loud, a group of girls screaming around the camp site at 10pm, and during our stay a group were carrying a I can only describe as a boom box that blasted out music past 9pm, which no it isn’t late but some people do have small young children and let’s be honest sponge bob square pants blaring isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Fencing needed to be more secure, as very uneven and unsafe
The litter left in the park - again minimal parent supervision by some, I collected a whole bag of rubbish from 1 trip to the park.
Felt sorry for the people who had paid all that money for pods when the view was mainly tents and free roaming children.
It states no sign written vans, we saw a few
It states no camp fires, we saw many
So many pros, but sadly the cons outweighed us considering a return.

Amazing sight that deserves its high ratings - we will be back!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The park!, the shop, evening entertainment and pizza oven!
The shower blocks and toilets are clean, well kept, smell nice and the showers are warm and have good pressure!
There is a games room and washing machines and tumble dryers for reasonable money.
There is also free charging station and a freezer.
The park is new for 2025 and kep my two girls under ten occupied for countless hours.
The pitches are well mown, spaced out and the pathways are lit softly at night.
Disliked The electricity pylon near the top left hand side buzzing, but is not generally near any pitches unless the site is really busy - make sure you request to not be cited under it as the buzzing kept up awake.

Fantastic site well done.
Electric grass and gravel pitch
Liked Great facilities, showers and washing area.
Children’s play area and goal.
Excellent shop and amazing friendly staff.
Disliked Excessive wasps due I believe to the proximity of the general waste bins.
We were approximately 10m away from the bins. People further into the site did not seem to have the same problem? Perhaps a re position or sealable lid?
I was concerned for the children and it was just frustrating for the rest of us especially when eating.

Easy access to walks
Staff were helpful and very friendly
Overall the site was very well kept
We enjoyed our stay
Disliked Tent pitches seemed to be a little haphazard which made getting through to facilities a little challenging.
Dog walk area !! Needs to be fenced off as people actually pitched their tents in this already small area.

Electric grass and gravel pitch
Liked Fabulous place, loved the atmosphere, on the Saturday night especially when there’s outdoor bingo, pizza and bar😃. Staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful. Facilities I.e shower and toilet blocks, disposal facilities and parks and entertainment for kids were all great. Shop was a god send but a little bit pricey.
