Camping at The Hollies

Syntes om Good location for Rock climbing at the Roaches
Good views of the rocks.
Onsite pizza van (at the weekend at least).
Clean toilets facilities with lots of loo roll. Toilet/shower facilities seemed insufficient for the amount of campers on a busy weekend but surprisingly I never had to wait.
Hot showers (£1 for 5mins)
Washing up sinks (but no hot water)
Large site with multiple camping fields.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us.

We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the location — being close to The Roaches makes us a great base for climbing and exploring, and we’re happy you appreciated the views, clean toilets, and the pizza van!

While our facilities are simple, we do our best to maintain them to a high standard. We're pleased you didn’t experience any queues despite it being a busy weekend, and we appreciate your feedback about capacity — it's something we're always reviewing as the site grows in popularity.

Thanks again for your visit, and we hope to welcome you (and maybe your group) back in the future.

Best wishes,
The Hollies Team

Syntes om We stayed in the second field, and the view of the roaches was beautiful.
More than enough space to pitch up as groups too.

Syntes ikke om Toilets were a bit of a walk away.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Emiky
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing the beautiful photo of the Roaches! It really means such a lot 🙂

We’re delighted you enjoyed the spacious pitches and the stunning views — the second field is a favourite for many of our guests because of that.

We appreciate your feedback about the toilets being a bit of a walk away. We’re always looking at ways to improve convenience while maintaining the peaceful, spacious feel of the site.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit!

Best wishes,
The Hollies Team

Syntes om Gorgeous site, nice big pitches, feels lovely and safe. Great views, shops easily accessible. Toilets were clean and showers were hot!

Syntes ikke om It's been said a few times, we were inundated by wasps which put a dampener on things. But we are in a field and that is nature!

The road is quite noisy, but that also, can't be helped.

There were a few parties that were loud and raucous into the early hours. it would be good if they have a warden who patrolled a few times to ensure people were abiding by the rules a bit.

The pizzas we had were not cooked properly so not a fan of the pizza van. They made a pizza wrong as well and it was really small, but it took so long to get in the first place that we ate some slices (were starving) the girl indicated that they would do a replacement with the toppings we had requested and implied this was free, but actually when it came the guy charged us a tenner "as goodwill".

I would definitely use the site, but not the pizzas.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your photos — we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us under the Sturgeon Moon!

It’s great to hear you found the site spacious, safe, and scenic, and that you appreciated the clean toilets and hot showers. We really do put a lot of effort into keeping things comfortable and welcoming, so your feedback means a lot.

We completely understand the frustration with the wasps — they’ve been more active than usual this summer, and while it’s part of being out in nature, we are looking at ways to help manage them better.

We’re sorry to hear you experienced some noise during your stay. We do have a warden on-site Friday and Saturday nights to help ensure quiet hours are respected, but we’ll certainly take your comments on board and review how we can improve this further.

Thanks also for the honest feedback about the pizza van — that’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests, and we’ll be passing this on to the vendor for review.

We really appreciate your kind words and balanced feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back again!!

Warm wishes,
The Hollies Team

Syntes om Really nice location. The views are beautiful looking out to the roaches. There are walks straight from site, tho the cars can come pretty fast down the lane you aren't on it for long before coming to the footpath. Woodfired pizza served in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Would stay again

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really happy you enjoyed the beautiful views and nearby walks—it's great to hear you made the most of the pizza and breakfast too! You're right about the lane; while it's short, we always recommend care and appreciate you pointing it out for future guests. We'd love to welcome you back again soon!

Syntes om Fire pits and wood were available for use, with deliveries made in the evening. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.

Syntes ikke om The campsite did not have enough toilet and shower facilities for the number of people staying there, resulting in constant queues. There was no hot water available at the washing-up sink. The sinks in the toilet area were extremely small and awkwardly positioned, making it difficult to brush your teeth.

Fra bestyreren: Hi julie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

We’re really pleased you enjoyed the fire pits and found our team friendly — we genuinely care about making our guests feel welcome and looked after.

We’re sorry to hear the facilities didn’t meet your expectations. We do our best to be transparent, with everything clearly described and pictured in the listing — including the simple setup and lack of hot water at the washing-up area. We aim to offer a peaceful, back-to-basics camping experience that many of our visitors really enjoy.

During your stay, we found that any queues for facilities were minimal — even during busy times — and we were regularly on-site to keep everything clean and running smoothly.

We understand that our style of campsite may not be for everyone, but we truly appreciate your visit and your feedback.

Warm wishes,
The hollies

Syntes om Clean toilets and washing up facilities. Showers were £1 for 5 minutes (could set temperature red hot which is really nice on a cold morning). We made use of the fire pit hire, just £20 refundable deposit then £12 for a net of logs which lasted us the whole night, fire lighters and sticks included too.
Location wise brilliant 10 minutes walk to tittesworth reservoir, which had a circular route all the way round 7.5km ish, had an ice cream shop there which was gorgeous!! Water activities on the reservoir too, booked a double kayak for 1 hour £20 lots of fun. Just a 5 minutes walk left out of the site is a lovely pub ‘Three Horseshoes’ we only had drinks but for food smelt and looked amazing.
Staff here are also so friendly !!

Syntes ikke om Only cold water at washing up area.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for your fantastic 10/10 review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great stay with us.

It's lovely to know you appreciated the clean facilities and enjoyed the hot showers – there's nothing like a warm shower on a cool morning! We're also really glad the fire pit hire helped make your evening special, and that you got to explore the beautiful surroundings, especially Tittesworth Reservoir and the local pub.

Our team works hard to keep the site welcoming and well looked after, so your kind words about the staff mean a lot to us.

We’d love to welcome you back again soon – whether for more kayaking, ice cream, or just a relaxing break!

Best wishes. The Hollies 😊

Syntes om Beautiful location, we managed to get a great spot with a view of the roaches from our tent. Even though it was fairly busy everyone was respectful of the 10pm quiet. We loved the pizza van on Friday evening, delicious! The campsite owner came around and gave out fire pits and wood to those who wanted. We had a lovely walk at Luds church, which was about a 10 min drive from the campsite.

Syntes ikke om The location is lovely but not great for walking straight from the campsite with kids as it’s quite a fast road.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for the wonderful 10/10 review! 😊 We're really glad you enjoyed the beautiful views, the peaceful atmosphere, and of course, the Friday night pizza van! It’s great to hear you made the most of your visit with a walk to Lud’s Church too.

We appreciate your feedback about walking routes with kids – safety is really important, and we’ll continue to look into ways to improve that experience. Hope to welcome you back again soon! 🙂

Syntes om Lovely spot looking out at the Roaches, plenty of space, good idea having the pizza hut although we didn't use it.
Sinks were higher so no back breaking bending!
Showers were good , was good to have the dressing area ..although very hot in there while dressing
Close to local shops , chinese takeaway
Staff coming round with the wood were friendly and helpful

Syntes ikke om No hand towels in the toilets or hand dryers. Had to use loo roll
Loo rolls were always re stocked regularly
Yes hot water at the pot washing area would have been good but wasn't a problem using cold
