Positiv Location is very good, great for walks

Negativ The condition of the pitches , size of the pitches and demarcation of each pitch. Nothing better than a farmers field

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and sharing your photos.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Positiv Huge site with plenty of space. Lots of room for kids to run around safely. Easy friendly check in,secure site with entry barrier. Small shop with a few essentials and sweets / ice cream.
No need to cook if you don’t want to as local takeaways deliver to the site.
The toilets, showers and washing up area were kept clean.
The main draw for us is the access to the river as we have an inflatable boat. There are wooden steps down into the water which were great for the kids. Nice shallow area by the steps which the grandchildren loved.

Positiv The lake

Negativ Toilets and showers absolutely horrendous some of the worst I’ve ever stayed in

Vom Platzbetreiber: In-between cleans the facilities can become messy, we do ask guests to tidy up after themselves unfortunately not everyone does this. The weekend you stayed we had lots of both verbal and written comments on how clean the facilities were, you must have used them each time just before being cleaned or just after some messy campers.
You must have liked the river as there are no lakes on the campsite.

Positiv Lots of space, not crowded
Can launch on to the river

Negativ Cars moving at high speed through fields, all day, as for some the one toilet/shower block was a long way away - kicking up a lot of dust and grit and very worrying when there are lots of kids playing and exploring, it didn’t feel safe for them
Some noise at night, from crowds of campers
No shade in the fields
Not overall friendly or welcoming staff in reception on arrival

Vom Platzbetreiber: We checked in around 100 pitches the day you arrived and there is a lot of important information needing to be given especially as there is a fire and barbecue ban, this has to be explained to everyone along with hand outs being given out, if there are several pitches waiting to be checked in at the same time it is not possible to spend time with everyone engaging in conversations or friendly banter.
Guests on non-electric like yourselves choose where to stay, many fields have shade and some of these had hardly anyone camping in them the whole weekend.
When I am driving around the campsite I do stop drivers who are speeding and if they continue to drive this way showing no signs of being considerate or slowing down I do ban them for returning.
During our 10pm rounds there was no music being played and there were a couple of large groups sitting together outside talking and laughing, we went over to these asking them to keep the noise level low. Many guests had already gone to sleep for the night.
As there has been no rain for over 2 months there is a of dust on the campsite and when windy it gets blown around.

Positiv Loved it clean spacious and reasonably priced

Positiv Was near the river and lots of space

Negativ Toilets and showers never seemed clean and often no loo roll.
Very concerned about the speed motorists traveled across campsite to Toilets even at night . So dangerous and alot of drink driving. If you camp far away from Toilets that's your choice but the 5 mile speed limit was never kept to . I was quite worried walking to the toilets at night for fear of being hit by a car or van.
Also the launch area was badly kept on the river.

Vom Platzbetreiber: The toilets and showers have 3 daily cleans and re-stocked each time, in-between cleans the facilities can become messy, we do ask guests to tidy up after themselves unfortunately not everyone does this.
When I am driving around the campsite I do stop drivers who are speeding and if they repeat this showing no signs of being considerate or slowing down I do ban them for returning. We want guests to feel safe and enjoy their stay.
There is no launch area on site just a few areas along the river bank to get in to the river or from the public "Oak Weir" where you will find launch jetty`s.

Positiv Had a great time with the family stayed on the non electric field toilets were clean and shower rooms. So peaceful.

Negativ That when your on non electric fields it is a mission to the toilets shame a few portaloos can’t be dotted around

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review and that you enjoyed yourselves.
Not many of the fields are close to the facilities and the further away the longer the walk which is great during the day but at night a toilet tent is essential.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
