Near Gatten Campsite

Syntes om: Me and my partner attempted to stay here on Saturday but were absolutely appalled at what exactly we turned up to?! Derelict toilets, graffiti on signs, it looked like a disused commune of some kind. Drove around, found no one, took pictures and left. Wouldn’t pay 22p to stay here! What a waste of £22!!

Syntes ikke om: All of the above

Syntes om: This is a back to basics campsite- felt very freeing! Lovely to be out in nature and the view is gorgeous. Great to have walks straight out of the door. Facilities are basic but functioning and clean- don’t expect anything glamorous! Ideal for a retreat into nature.

Syntes ikke om: Needs a check in system! Took a while to find anyone on arrival and didn’t get any answer from the phone number.

Syntes om: The simplistic facilities

Syntes om: Peaceful site with stunning views. Basic amenities but clean and functional. Great location for cycling / walking. Dark skies for stargazing. Lots of space to pitch, including a decent amount of level ground.

Syntes om: Quiet and great view over the valley. Reasonably level pitches although the soil cover was thin where I pitched but it was possible to erect the tent. A flushing toilet and a very welcome warm shower. The grass was cut and I found a random chair to sit on. I was the only person on site and that was very welcome. I had a very pleasant stay.

Syntes ikke om: Well, it is all a bit run down looking. Overall it looked like the site the world has forgotten which is a shame as the view is so good. Simple things would improve the look and feel - for example: 1. Make sure everything that is provided works. Two out of three showers blocked off, presumably broken, heater fan not working in the showers. Not that it was necessary but if it is there it should work, ditto water heater for the wash basins. If there are soap dispensers then make sure they are full. 2. Make things look straight and of good quality - make it work. The facilities cabins all look a bit lopsided, some rusty bits on the facilities cabins, odd screws poking through in the one working shower. 3. Plant some screening between the campsite and the more industrial parts of the rest of the higher land. It may be all good valuable stuff but it looks like a scrap yard. The happy campers don't really want to look at the world of work. 4. Why were all the lights on? I actually took the liberty of turning most off. It is just a waste of money when there is no one there. 5. Mow the verges that are laden with weeds. 6. Provide some bins. I could but won't go on.

Syntes om: Quiet, rural location with lots of birds and wildlife. Good walking right from the site. Proper toilets and showers (don't look much from the outside but all working). Firm, gently sloping terraces to pitch on.

Syntes ikke om: Steep slope back onto the main road means a tricky handbrake start in a motorhome. Easier to turn left and turn around than turn right.

Syntes om: Very picturesque view and very quiet, basic pitch but all that was needed.

Syntes ikke om: Toilet facilities could be upgraded but we’re ok for weekend and showers hot.
