Croft Lane Green Camping

Positiv Lovely owner who was very helpful. The site is basic but that’s clearly explained from the outset.

Location is excellent. Peaceful and relaxing.

Perfect for a short getaway.

Positiv Beautiful quiet countryside in a real farm with horses. Friendly staff.

Negativ I really wanted a warm shower. They had only cold water. Also £25 a bit dear for no services at all. No kitchen facilities, no hot shower.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Marco - thank you for staying with us. I am pleased you liked the campsite and found us friendly.

I know you said you disliked the cold water shower and wanted a warm/hot shower and if this is the case I am really surprised that you booked our campsite as it clearly states in the description there is only cold water on site. Many people in the hot weather we are having, actually find the cold shower very refreshing and sorry you did not like it

I am sorry that you felt that the campsite was poor value and once again point out that our description makes clear what is on offer. Apologies that you were not able to appreciate this before you booked and arrived at the campsite.

Positiv Loved the quiet open space. Toilets and shower is basic but clean and everything you need

Negativ Nothing

Vom Platzbetreiber: That's great you liked the campsite and found it a good location for the beach.

Positiv Croft Lane Green is beautiful. The tents are only on one side so you can sit and watch the horses and the sunset with an uninterrupted view. There's plenty of space and trees to sit under.
The washing up sink and cold shower are under a gorgeous old willow tree. We stayed during a heatwave and the cold shower was extremely welcome!
Charlie and Peter are so welcoming and helpful. They gave us a sheet of tips for the island, including instructions for a lovely walk that takes you past the tearooms at Northney. They also told us how to get to the local farm shop that is in walking distance and sells all the food you could possibly need including eggs from the farm next door.
We had an absolutely lovely stay, thank you so much!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Ewelina. Thank you for your comments. so pleased that you found communications with us easy, particularly as you booked last minute.

Positiv Basic non electric grass pitches with cold shower and drinking water. Close to West beach and Tesco Superstore. Owners were very kind to change our allocated pitch. We all had a great time.

Vom Platzbetreiber: so plesaed you had a great time. The beach is perfect at this time of year.

Positiv Lovely owners
Plenty of space
Nice views
Good amenities

Negativ Gates where a pain but that was only as I had to keep leaving the site for family emergency

Freunden empfehlen Erneut besuchen

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your comments. I can appreciate that the double gates are a nuisance if you are on your own and you had to leave the campsite and come back quite a few times.

Positiv Mostly quiet but there was only 3 other people at the site

Negativ Price. £25 was far too much for what was on offer.
Allocated pitches when it's only a field with no hook up or hard standings. Let people pitch where they like. All pitches have evening sun and shade in the morning. I prefer the other way around and I couldn't do it even though there was plenty of space.
Composting loos were old and shabby
Only saw 1 tap for drinking water.
The grass needed cutting, far too long.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for taking the time to write a review particularly when you obviously did not seem to have a good experience at our camp site.
In terms of the pricing we took recommendations from Pitch up as to what was an appropriate amount to charge, and am sorry that you feel that this is not a suitable amount.
When we first opened the camp site we allowed people to camp where they liked but we found that people pitched too close to other tents and it did not work.
we have more pitches marked than we advertise so we can leave gaps between people. There were not many campers as we unexpectedly had to sort out a family emergency so closed the campsite. My godson was looking after the campsite and he did come over a few times but you were not there on each occasion.
There are 3 water taps (in fact there is a 4th one in the stable yard) all with mains water. if you had texted and called i could have described to you where the other taps were or asked my godson to walk over to show you where they are. (there is a red fire bucket by each tap)
The grass along the pitches has recently been cut but have let the other areas be a bit longer as we have hot weather and the grass stays green for longer
As for where the sun goes that is beyond my control and many campers have said how much they enjoy watching the sunsets.
i am surprised you said the compost loos were old and shabby. I have swept them in the morning you arrived and they are in fact not that old but i guess it depends on what you were expecting. Interestingly the review before yours comments on the fact they liked the compost loos
typically i think the website provides a good description of the facilities at the campsite (which are also bought to life by the photos) as well as the the text which i send to all of the people who book. Perhaps you did not have the chance to review either or these which is why you had the expectations of the campsite you did.
