Thorpe Farm Centre

Positiv Spacious pitches.
Own water tap next to the electric meter
Farm shop with lots of groceries along with frozen items/meals.
Restaurant inside the reception/shop
On site animals
Very large dog walk area

Negativ Very uneven grass pitches. Couldn't at all get the caravan to level out, even with leveling blocks underneath the legs.
Grass pitches situated right next to the very busy A66 road, so heard lorries all through the night, and very heavy traffic throughout the day. (It does state that pitches are next to a busy road on the website but not about how busy or which busy road it is!)
Grass pitches are 5 minute walk to the toilet/shower block.
No-one (park rangers) drives around to see if everything ok!
What i had seen was only the one play area for the children and this was situated at the entrance car park. Didn't bother us as we didn't have children with us but they could benefit from another play area for children in the touring part, as there was only tyre swings.
Don't know if touring area has WiFi as we were never told about it.

Positiv Really nice site good sized pitches toilet and shower block was very clean good shop on site with fresh and frozen food plus the restaurant yes you have the road behind the site but it didn't really bother us just make sure you have a torch as the site is quite dark just incase you need the toilet apart from that it was a nice stay forget to mention that the staff were very friendly and helpful so thanks again

Negativ Very minor but would be worth having the numbers for the motorhome and tent pitches a little bit more clearly marked
