Draysey Woods Nature Escape

Positiv Not many people there!
But we know why now.

Negativ Lights in the toilets.
Water tap attached properly and not wasting water, especially during the worst heatwave we've had!!
Carpark closer for unloading.
Correct details on the area... only 1 pub open in village and the walk is down the narrow campsite entrance road.

Vom Platzbetreiber: I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy our site. We do our very best to make it an enjoyable experience for our guests.

We intentionally kept that time quiet for personal reasons so apologies that it wasn’t busy enough with other guests for your liking.

We are really sad that our second village pub has recently closed. It’s a sad sign of many small villages that there isn’t enough custom all year round to support more than one village pub. If you’d have asked us we could’ve recommended some wonderful other pubs all within walking distance, no road walking required! All through our beautiful local countryside directly from our campsite. Although the lane on which the campsite is, is usually very quiet.

We keep cars away from our site specifically for the safety of our guests- especially the children and dogs. The walk from unloading to site is reasonably flat and about 150m which most guests find a small price to pay for the peace of mind that their little family members are safe.

Once again, apologies our site didn’t meet your expectations.

Positiv Lovely little site, very peaceful even on the Gatwick flightpath, wooded walk was nice too. Clean showers and toilets. Highly recommended.

Negativ Dog mess in the woods, toilet light doesn't work, or couldn't locate the switch if there is one!

Positiv Campsite was nice and well maintained

Negativ would have had nothing to complain about aside from the fact that there was an unleashed dog walking around and barking a lot at night (I phoned the campsite and they said it was a neighbour’s dog) to the point where I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping and had to leave the campsite. I was the only camper that night which made it feel worse

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry that this situation left you feeling uncomfortable during your stay.

We did speak with you on numerous occasions during your visit and you said you felt reassured once I told you it was a neighbours family pet and a small Labrador.

We’re also sorry that, despite our efforts, you still felt unsettled. As a gesture of goodwill, we issued a full refund and apologised for the experience.

We take feedback seriously and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We’re sorry that your stay did not feel as relaxing and enjoyable as we would have hoped and we will ensure that our cute little Bella doesn’t try to play out again after dark!

Negativ There wasn't anyone to greet us or allocate us a pitch, as the booking website said. But there was plenty of space, so just picked a spot and pitched up.

Positiv Great stay camping, the shower and toilet facilities are excellent and very clean.
Loved the extra touches of table tennis and badminton
Site was incredibly quiet and peaceful

Negativ Just wish more of the long grass was cut back but there were cut paths to pitches and we had no issues with any ticks or bugs.
Could do with some bigger wheelbarrows for transporting gear from car to pitch
