Visitors highlight the abundance of activities for children, including a pool and entertainment complex.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely Big site, toilets lovely and warm and cleaned regularly. Cannot fault staff who work hard.
Disliked Prices are a bit on the steep side, but what do you expect on a Park dean site? But only paying £51 for 3 days, balances out.

Not recommended for tourers
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Location , member of staff at ice cream place was nice.
Disliked Expensive, no free WiFi, no one to answer my query at reception after trying to phone them, didn’t respond to text either. Couldn’t find Motorhome touring pitch as had no number to identify it, quite a lot of litter about, map of site is misleading, very large site, need a bike to get around, showers quite dirty, touring pitches small, lacks privacy.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Easy check in.
Fabulous staff.
Grass flat and not muddy
Huge range of activities for the kids: pool and entertainment fab.
Beautiful unspoilt beach (loved the mud)
Great showers (site was full so was sometimes a bit untidy)
Disliked Pitches need to be demarcated or someone to take you down, show you where to park. We were perfectly parked (and warden confirmed this) but disgruntled neighbor (who was mostly drunk) made regular comments about us being close to them. The pitches are tight but no worse than most.
Only there for two nights, would have done more and explored the area.

Nothing…
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Poor organisation of late check in, had to wait nearly 20 mins (there were 3 families ahead of me) while a member of staff went to get “keys” why not send them down as soon as reception closes?
Cant book activities for the day you leave.
Tent pitches are jammed in so close to each other you can hear their airbed when they move!
No security during the night, raucous campers keeping others up till past 2:30am with kids running around screaming! Never been anywhere so badly organised

Absolutely loved it. Great site, staff are amazing and helpful
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved every minute of our safe staff were lovely and very helpful. Especially the lifeguard staff that made it fun for my children. Plenty of entertainment to keep the little ones entertained through the day and night. We could of stayed longer We had so much fun.
Disliked Unfortunately the food at the boathouse was a bit disappointing and we had to get a refund on out adult meals.
And the camping showers weren't great either cuts off after a minute and took ages to wash the shampoo out of your hair. It was quite frustrating when you had to shower 3 young children one being a baby. They where also dirty after people using them mud and sand in the blocks

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly and helpful staff.
Affordable activities for young children and the pool area.
Disliked The site is looking run-down.
When we arrived at our pitch someone had let their dog mess on the grass. A trip back to reception this was soon resolved.
