What customers say
This campsite is praised for its exceptionally clean facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and convenient location near amenities. Pitches are generally well-maintained and spacious. Some guests noted significant traffic noise due to the proximity of main roads, and a few found the electric hook-up limited. Despite this, many visitors had a positive experience and would return.

great for a stopover, will use again
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Easy to find. Booked a non electric grass pitch, only booked the day before and as he had just cut the grass we stayed on a gravel path. Good for us, and as he said he didnt want us to get stuck or slip on the wet grass.
Disliked Nothing-knew about the road noise as it pretty obvious. Sleepy ok anyway as didnt really hear it in the van. Maybe the grass pitches wouldn’t be as good as they are right by the road, so glad we didnt actually pitch there.

Great campsite with great facilities
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch was grass and perfect for my tent. Shower block was open 24 hour, very clean and warm which was very welcome. Drinking water available to fill my water bladder..loved the fact that there are services near to the site, so a 5 minute walk and a Greggs breakfast was forthcoming.
Disliked There is road noise from the A483 but helped me sleep which was a good thing.

awful site
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nothing to like about this awful site
Disliked Had booked for two night but left after one night , the noise from the dual carriageway is unbelievable and did not sleep.
The website makes it look nice but when you arrive it looks more like a travellers site with old caravans and work vans everywhere

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The staff were very helpful, which is always good. I pitched my tent conveniently near a tap making getting water easy.
The facilities are extremely clean and well maintained.
If you forgot something there is an Aldi on the doorstep, very convenient, oh and Costa with a 24h drive through should you want a coffee.
Disliked The only thing that wasn't great was the weather, but the site can do nothing about that and I knew before I went that it was wet!!
