Camping at The Hollies

Positiv Nice flat pitch with a clear sign that says to park up and pitch up anywhere. I arrived 19:15 on a Saturday evening and it was quite busy, so I stayed in what I’d describe as an overspill type field. Owners really friendly! The onsite homemade pizza looked so nice.
Perfect site super close to Tittesworth Reservoir where I was doing a trail race next day.

Negativ Only 4 toilets available closest to me which was still quite a walk. Long queue for the loos first thing which wasn’t ideal - need more for the volume of campers there were!

Positiv Loved the onsite pizza van and views

Positiv The location was perfect. We chose somewhere close to home as testing out new equipment. Pub with great food on the doorstep. The freedom to pitch where we wanted on the camping field. Clean toilets, well stocked with loo paper. Showers which had good pressure and no tiresome push button. £1 for 5 mins, which was plenty of time.

Negativ Not really an issue as we were prepared having read the reviews but no hot water available at the pot wash. Had to boil own water on pitch to wash pots.

Positiv Everyone was respectful and adhered to the 22:00 no noise.
Hiring the fire pit was really useful.
It was nice to pick our own spot and it didn't feel like everyone was on top of each other.
We picked a good weekend to stay with the weather.

Negativ My only dislike was we had decided to have Pizza from the onsite pizza place on Saturday night but they ran out of dough at 19:00.

Positiv The view, location, super friendly staff and a great pizza van. Stayed here for three nights.

Positiv Large open area and no set pitches

Positiv Scenery was lovely.

Negativ We counted 200 plus people for 4 toilets,
As a result of this the toilets were not clean,
shower ratio to people was not enough,
A food van was 2 meters next to toilets.

Positiv Spacious site, lots of areas to choose from. Great location, lovely walk round the reservoir too, dog friendly. Pizza van on site

Negativ Not the sites fault, large group next to us with loud music all day and the same song at least 15 times over.

Positiv Freedom to choose where you want to pitch. Renting of firepit was easy and everyone we spoke to was friendly

Negativ Could’ve done with some more showers and toilets - although we did stay on a Saturday night and the site was very busy in particular!

Positiv Freedom,
toilets
Quietness

Negativ Dogs
No security
No point of contact if any emergency
Showers
Overpriced breakfast

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi matthew, thanks for your review, we really appreciate them. I just wanted to add there was security on this weekend, we usually do it ourselves but we hired a company in, he was definitely here because we saw him ourselves both nights. Also my number is on the confirmation booking. It's on the large sign at the entrance and also Google. I'm always available, we live on site so if there ever was an emergency I'm very contactable.
