Bankfoot Camping

Positiv An absolutely beautiful and peaceful site. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and welcoming and we thought it very reasonably priced. The facilities, whilst basic, were perfectly adequate for a back to basics family camping trip

Negativ Not a dislike as such but the entrance to the site was difficult to find from the road. This was perhaps down to the temporary traffic lights on the road which of course is not under the site managements control

Positiv Lovely owner, passing through while having a weekend touring on my motorbike.
Ideal location , lovely roads for biking.
The site had everything I needed .
You choose were to pitch.

Negativ A sign post highlighting the entrance.
Although to be fair there was road works directly outside the entrance that may have been obstructing any sighns.
I went in the wrong wrong gate ...and a lovely lady explained that I was actually on the farm any they don't have insurance to cover that..... There is wood and fire pits available, I noticed several other campers took advantage of that service.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review.
I appreciate that everyone is asking for dish washing facilities. But with it being a working farm and with the field being used for stock when the site is closed it's not easy to install and then move a sink. It's not something we can accommodate at the moment. I am so sorry.

Positiv Lovely small site with all you need.good location for seeing all on offer.

Positiv The site was good. Would use again if we are ever in the area again. Just over 30 drive to metro centre. The access to the site was good and shower/toilet block was clean and tidy.

Vom Platzbetreiber: As I feel you have just copied the previous review and were travelling together. I have just copied the response.
I am sorry you stayed on one of the worst nights I have experienced in the time I have had the campsite open.
The road is always a quiet road but for some reason the council have decided the day I open to renew pipes.
I didn't know about this and yes there is traffic lights and cars all held up and moving all together.
Hopefully this will only be for a few days.
The plains are not ever any problem. Sometimes they change a flight path and for some reason Friday night and Saturday they flew lower than usual and over the field.
The toilet block is now fully restored and working. This was due to someone putting something down it that blocked up the whole facility.
Once again I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.

Positiv Nothing

Negativ Everything

Vom Platzbetreiber: hope fully the first nights the worst night as I don't want to relive that again.
Someone had put something down the toilets and blocked everything.
This is now resolved and everything is back up and working.
To be honest we did everything we could do to resolve this on Friday night.
But when one thing goes wrong everything is so much bigger.
The facilities are separate and not sharing! And all working.
With hot showers and toilets.
I don't know who this review is from but I am sorry for the inconvenience and sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.
