Liked: Loved our welcome. Very nice people who immediately made us feel we'd come here again even before we'd parked up. Nice spacious pitch, clean with all the facilities that we would need. We didn't have much time to spend here this time but will come back again for a longer period to make more of the area.

Liked: The campsite is really well maintained and the owner is very accommodating and helpful, the site itself is beautiful with stunning surroundings and plenty of walks. Perfect area for rally fans during the Severn valley stages are it’s not a far drive and paddock is near by. Couldn’t have been happier staying here.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Quiet. Peaceful.
Disliked: Not quite as described. The Riverside walk is only about 100mtrs long. The site seemed run down. The toilet block had a wet floor and was dirty. The wash up area was also a mess as was the bin area. Perhaps its end of the season blues from those running it.
