Border Forest Caravan Park

Syntes om Nice area with great walks

Syntes ikke om Pitches were dirty and the site is in need of considerable TLC. No water available in off season months to rinse chemical toilet.

Fra bestyreren: Pitches dirty we are in the wilds ,it hasn’t stopped raining what do you expect daily scrubbing? There is. Water in a tank very near waste point,!
Being well above sea level we freeze up .therefore facilities at top of the park are the only ones open.
We are in Englands Highlands ,no shops ,pub 4 miles away no takeaways.
Don’t expect Kew Gardens or similar
Read previous reviews ,from people who live in the real world and appreciate what we have here!!!!!

Syntes om I absolutely loved the pigs, quiet site, friendly staff in a great location. The kitchen area was super useful and the hut had heating and its own picnic bench which was perfect for me and the dog.

Syntes om Friendly owners, pigs and chickens, beautiful dog walk area, lovely views, great prices, well maintained but natural feel, great setting. Yes it is remote no pubs or shops nearby but we like that, dark skies and forest around. We will be back. Kids loved it.

Syntes om Lovely scenic site set by the side of a small review.

Beautiful dark skies

Syntes ikke om Not a dislike, just for people to be aware that extra long EHU cables may be needed for some of the pitches.

Again, not a dislike, (it is a dark sky area afterall!), but just be aware in winter months it is a bit if a walk to the toilets & showers so decent torch definitely needed.

Syntes om The dog walk from the caravan park. Watching the birds on the trees.

Syntes ikke om I’ll try and brief!
1) No map provided of the site.
2) No signage to show where Elsan, waste water and drinking water is.
3) No water available at point of Elsan. Had to use empty bottles and make numerous trips to and from a working tap. Not particularly hygienic or safe due to ice under foot.
4) Both the toilets and shower next to the touring caravan pitches were closed until spring next year. We were told that this is to reduce the risk of pipes becoming frozen and bursting.
5) The touring caravan pitches were the furthest away from toilet and shower facilities that were open.
6) We had to ask for the road into the caravan site to be gritted due to it being frozen and safety when leaving whilst towing our caravan.
7) The path, road and grass on the site were icy and frozen for most of our stay. Obviously that can’t be avoided but, again, there was no grit available for people to use.
8) The woman’s toilet and shower area was quite possibly I’ve ever seen. Definitely one where I would always use my crocs to shower in!
9) Sharp edges to a crown in the shower - see photo.
10) The floor under the mat, which is outside of shower, was moving. Pulled back mat and saw cover which was rusty and unstable.
11) Think the rest of the photos speak for themselves……
12) Not worth £40 a night.

Fra bestyreren: As I have reported previously
WE ARE A MARMITE SITE EITHER VISITORS LOVE IT HERE ,OR HATE IT!!!!
Please read our previous positive 9 reviews !
We are a very rural site ,no club or shop and we try to merge with our beautiful surroundings.
Being nearly a thousand feet above sea level,if there is snow and frost we will get it.Which we did at the time of this report
