Holmsley Caravan and Camping Site

Positiv Traumhafte Lage. Wandern, Radfahren: alles gut möglich. Und Wildpferde, die in unmittelbarer Umgebung grasen - fantastisch!

Positiv Facilities were very clean and staff were very helpful.
The pizza was very tasty.
We could pick where we wanted to pitch up.
Shop was well priced and had all manner of things.

Negativ Ground was quite hard for the pegs as it’s an old air field, which goes with the territory. However, harder pegs can be found in the shop on site.

Positiv Loved the park/pitch wherever you like, we found a little space under some trees , which was perfect shade for the dogs.
The welcome staff (Dave) was super friendly and helpful with directions and information about site facilities.

Positiv My kids loved the new park as we come every year and see the changes. The toilets and shower are always so clean and we live the woodland walks we spend pirs over the airfield.

Positiv The weather

Negativ Should have done our homework! Didn't realise it was just open space on an old airfield.We booked hardstanding which we thought would be a numbered pitch but it was just an old patch of runway so no chance of pitching the awning without a jack hammer
Toilet block dated

Negativ I am writing to share my recent experience during our stay at your campsite, which unfortunately left us quite disappointed due to the conduct of a staff member at reception.

Upon our arrival, we checked in and began setting up our tent. Shortly after, a woman from reception approached us and informed us—rather abruptly—that our tent was too close to another, as tents must be at least 6 metres apart. This rule was not mentioned during check-in, and as first-time visitors, we were unaware. Nevertheless, we apologised politely and moved our tent without issue.

Later, after we had settled in, the same staff member returned and loudly instructed us to extinguish our barbecue. She claimed she had already told us this three times and even insisted we had visited the campsite the previous weekend, which is entirely untrue. Her tone was unnecessarily aggressive, which made us feel uncomfortable and unfairly treated.

We fully respect campsite rules and are always happy to comply, but we believe that respectful communication is essential—especially in hospitality. This interaction significantly impacted our experience, and we hope steps can be taken to ensure future guests are treated with more courtesy and professionalism.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our feedback.

Positiv Lovely, large site. A choice of where you pitch up, so if you go out for the day (we were in the van so couldnt leave anything) be aware you may not get the same spot. That didnt bother us in the slightest though - as it was fun to find a spot and broke up the holiday. Take away pizza for dinner and breakfast baps are lovely. Shop has necessities and staff are lovely. Gorgeous site, would definitely recommend.

Negativ Only dislike was the showers are all one temperature and quite hot. We got sunburnt (I know🙄) so that was a challenge.
