Positiv Large fields, freedom of pitch location, loads of space between pitches in the camping pitch

Negativ Large groups playing loud music into early hours of the morning, would not recommend for people seeking relaxing stay or with young children with early bed times

Vom Platzbetreiber: I am sorry you did not enjoy your 1 night stay due to noisy campers not adhering to the site rules.
We did a drive around the campsite from 9pm until 1130pm, there was one large group playing music and we asked them to turn the music off and to be respectful of other campers. It would appear that they turned the music back on, had we been called out we would have gone back to them, our mobile number is printed on the front of the cards which everyone is given when checking-in.
This is not a regular occurence and many guests enjoy their stay and return.

Positiv The size of the campground area, though there was a lot of people, the place was great and comfortable for the non electric pitches, a massive open space to camp anywhere. There is a river on the back that allows water activities, swimming, and walking along a path. Fantastic!

Positiv The ladies toilet blocks and showers were clean
Nice area and not too busy

Negativ Stated on rules given at check in that there was a 10pm noise curfew. No one enforced this and on the first night we had kids screaming and shouting and flashing torches everywhere at 1am and the next night blasting music until gone midnight.
Also fire pit hire was available but they had no logs so had to go to the local coop to get some instead.
Lack of children’s play area - would be great addition to have a play park somewhere on site.
The men’s facilities were not as well kept as the ladies

On the Friday we were out patrolling from 10pm until 1130pm and the Saturday from 9pm until 1130pm enforcing the rules, we do not drive near anyone that are sitting quietly or whose camp is in darkness. Regrettably it would appear that some guests did not adhere to the campsite rules and started being noisy after this time. When every one checks in we point out the mobile number printed on the front of cards given saying this is to be used for any issues whilst on site(no one called us to notify of us of any noise or we would have come out again).
There is no play park since the closure of The Hop Farm over 3 years ago which is why it is not advertised.
All of the facilities are thoroughly cleaned, it would appear from your comments that the men are not as good at tidying up after themselves.
Hopefully your next visit will be problem free.

Positiv Lovely place nice people reasonably clean toilets and showers
Many thanks
See you next time

Positiv The Americas field is a great space for all, being right on the river
All the toilet, shower, washing, rubbish and water facilities are also good

Negativ The unmade road access to the Americas field it disastrous for those vehicles other than off roaders, come on Hop Farm a little gravel to fill in some of those enormous pot holes and roller coaster highs and lows is surely affordable

The road way was repaired a few months ago, the need to address this again will be passed on to the management team.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Positiv The large area to choose from of where to set up. If you don't like being to close to large groups you can find somewhere quiet.

Negativ Didn't like.how small.the shower cubicles where and the fact you had to keep your hand on the tap to keep it working. very limited places to put your clothing in there so clean stuff had to be placed on the sink area

There were 2 shower blocks open, the smaller wooden ones have a changing space in-between the door and the shower curtain with the shower behind. The brick building showers have a hook on the outside and a hook on the inside of the door and without a bag to place clean clothes in there is very little room.
I can understand the frustration of having to keep pressing the showers on however without this they could be left switched on which is a waste of water and costly.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
