Whitehough Outdoor Centre

Positiv Stayed with 2 children under 8 and they loved the place. Facilities were as clean as campers left them (site unmanned at weekend)
We came for a night and ended up staying 3 more. Had deer running around the site which was lovely
When we arrived there was only 1 shower and toilet which wasn’t much of a problem as there was only 2 parties staying but when site manager got in on the Monday he opened up more toilets and showers which was great as a few more parties had turned up. Site manager was nice and friendly
Plenty of places to walk and a few trees for the kids to climb
Will be staying again in future

Negativ The pitches are slightly sloped. Be aware of pitching up near the oak trees as we got swarmed by flies and had to move but apart from that no complaints

Positiv Absolutely nothing 😢

Negativ Unfortunately, I got the impression that the owner felt she was doing us a massive favor just by letting us camp on her field. Secondly, the bathrooms were locked for us because some children had been playing around them the night before. We arrived the following day and wanted to use the bathrooms, but we couldn't just because of something someone else did. The owner had an issue with absolutely everything and kept nitpicking. The cleanliness was terrible. I will definitely never go back there and will discourage anyone from visiting. I have never in my life encountered such rude customer service. Personally, I won’t be returning, and I especially don’t recommend it to anyone with children, whether they are toddlers or teenagers. Just don’t go there—it’s not worth the stress

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback.

I just wanted to check—were you part of the large group that arrived and hosted an unplanned event during your stay? This created a significant amount of unexpected pressure on the site and contributed to a very stressful situation.

To clarify, the bathrooms were not closed. Access codes are normally emailed out in case the doors shut, so guests can still enter. I’m sorry if there was any confusion around this.

I do apologise regarding the cleanliness. There were far more people onsite than originally planned, which unfortunately impacted this. That said, as with most campsites, we do ask that campers leave the facilities as they find them.

Our site is advertised as a basic, no-frills campsite, and we aim to provide a simple, relaxed environment.

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your stay, and I do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Positiv Location great
Pub stones throw away,
Lovely near by walks

Positiv Great location. Decent amenities e.g. shower/toilet/wash area. Helped that the weather was fantastic.

Negativ Only issue is that the majority of the site it on a slope and if the top pitches are taken (flat), you're camping on a tilt.

Positiv For an off grid stay this site was perfect. Only a short walk into Barley village where you can find 2 good pubs for refreshments. Wonderful scenic walks straight off the camp.

Negativ I would recommend to take your own trolley to take your stuff up to camping field.

Positiv Location was reson for booking. Friendly staff and good facilities.

Negativ Advert says you can park next to tent. You can't which it tells you after you book. Camp field is on a hill and as we were setting up for two pitches took several hours to lug everything up to where we were staying and get set up.

Positiv The site is very isolated in the valley. To get to any shops it's a good 15-20 min drive. Was nice to be away from busy life and just relax. You can not park the car next to the tent which we liked there is a small car park at the end of the field very secure. Where you leave your car the camp have wheelbarrows to help you transport your belongings up. This camp is very clean well maintained plenty of showers and toilets. There is warm water in the shower not hot but comfortable warm to have a wash/freshen up. We went bank holiday weekend was very hot 🥵🔥. The camp was not overcrowded so the kids could still run around.

Negativ Not so much as a dislike just an advisory No warden and no staff really around on camp the one man we did see was lovely. So a few campers did not respect the no noise after 10.30. but you get this on every camp. You always get one this would not put me off we had a lovely time and would definitely return very soon.
