What customers say
This is a friendly, convenient site, praised for its welcoming hosts and good access to walks and the M4. Pitches are generally well-regarded, with some benefiting from fire pits. While many found it peaceful and well-maintained, a few noted proximity to the motorway. Some guests mentioned issues with site tidiness and unfinished facilities. A small number of reviewers found the site unsuitable, citing noise, livestock proximity, or a lack of essential facilities like chemical waste disposal.

Electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch
Liked The owners are friendly, it is a short walk to the canal and easy access to the motorway. Toilet and shower clean.
Disliked I was asked to pitch between the toilet and another car, it wasn’t an actual pitch more a parking space so had no space to myself. I note some people in the reviews were placed on pitches in Crystal stables, I was advised to park on the yard on Northern Hay. The area was a bit scruffy and there was one toilet and shower for this site. The toilet/shower room had no lock on the door and no blind over the glass pane in the door window - which unfortunately as a solo female traveller made me feel uneasy so made the decision to leave. I’m not sure that the pricing reflects the facilities as there are others nearby that offer more for a similar price.

Only 2 fencing lines to keep horses in field next to site, this caused an issue with our dog, especially with the sheep that were in the campsite facing off with him as well.

Good to leave motorway, catch some sleep and easy access back to M4
Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked The friendly welcome and the help received. We had a water leak on the fresh water tank and our host got underneath with his spanners and plumber's mate, doing his best to tide us over until we got home.
Although a bit quirky, the small site had everything we needed and shower/toilet was clean
Very handy for a stop over by the M4
