Liked: Peace and quiet. 'Green' credentials, plenty of trees and greenery around. The best facilities block I have seen in 12 years of motorhoming. Spotlessly clean and extremely well laid out. Very friendly staff, willing to take time to have a chat.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The welcoming, friendly and informative staff. Nothing is too much for them. The site is exceptionally kept. Clean and well maintained. The shower/toilet facilities are the best I've used while camping.
Disliked: Sadly, the road noise is a little disturbing.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Stephen, Thank you for your kind words about our staff and well-maintained facilities—we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. However, we’re a bit surprised by your mention of road noise, as our location is known for its peaceful and quiet surroundings. It’s possible there was an unusual circumstance during your visit, although no other customer has brought this to our attention. We hope to welcome you back soon to experience the tranquility we’re proud to offer." (Without earplugs) :) otherwise you wouldnt be able to appreciate the wonderful birdsong we hear on a daily basis. Angie Lindsey Paul and Max

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Nice level pitch with own water tap and drain for waste water. The toilets and showers are spotless, definitely 5 star.
Disliked: Not exactly a dislike, but if you're hoping to get one of the hard standing pitches on the river bank that are shown in the main photo, these appear to be seasonal pitches only. The 5 touring pitches are further back from the river, next to the shower block.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Rebecca, Thank your feedback and 10/10 regarding our washrooms and level pitches, however we do not advertise riverside pitches so we fail to understand why you've mentioned hoping to get one. It's important to note that the riverbank pitches are indeed seasonal, which allows returning guests to enjoy their favorite spots. However, the touring pitches still offer a lovely experience, and being near the shower block can be quite convenient. We’re always aiming to provide a great stay for all guests and appreciate your understanding." Angie Lindsey Paul and Max

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The warden was really friendly and helpful. The facilities are some of the cleanest I have ever seen at a camp ground.
Disliked: My only small problem was that my tent was located next to a light.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Hollie, Thank you so much for your kind words about Paul our warden and facilities! We're thrilled to hear that you found the campground clean and welcoming. Regarding the light near your tent, we truly appreciate the feedback. Just to clarify, the light is actually motion-sensor activated and uses low-wattage bulbs to minimize any disturbance to our campers while still providing necessary safety lighting. With kind regards Angie, Lindsey, Paul and Max
