West End Farm Campsite

A neat and well-organised space. No gripes!

–

Large, well maintained pitches

No site map, arrived in the dark could not find the toilets not the water tap.
A bit impersonal, all done online
What we thought was a washing up area was a cobweb filled trough with no water

Location, gravel standing, level pitch.

Peaceful, location, size of pitches ease of booking.

Nothing

It was quiet, there was a toilet

Had emailed and rang throughout the day about the time I was arriving but had no response or call back. Rang again on my way and someone finally answered saying the time was fine and they would leave the gate open for me. Its just a field with basic amenities, I had to text and ask where the toilet was as there was no info or map given, electric is an extra £5 per night which seems a bit steep when the pitch is £15.

Easy arrival, chose our own pitch . There was a number provided on the wall if we need any assistance. Very clean gravel pitches with electric points close. Lovely scenery and easy access to the toilets and cleaning station.

There wasn’t any lighting on the way to the toilets. It was quite dark walking along the path to the block and felt a bit uncomfortable as a women walking to use the toilet during the night. It’s located on a working farm so the smell can be quite strong but it didn’t bother us as such. Toilets could have been a little bit cleaner.

Quiet site close to good pub and walks along river severn. We were the only people on the site. We used our own facilities so can't comment on the on site facilities.

No facility to drain grey water.
The site had self check in via text but we had no acknowledgement that it had been recieved and saw no one during our stay.

Very easy booking in system. Clear instructions.
Waste and recycling bins neat and tidy.
Lovely area for walking.

Maybe I am a wimp- however I could not force myself into the area of the shower cubicle in the 'pink' block, the mixture of dead spiders cobwebs and black mold put me off - we were only there for 3 nights so strip washes sufficed ! The only place to put my wash bag was the floor or on the back of the toilet, not ideal, there was a small hanging rail for the towel- My husband assured me that the mushrooms in the 'blue' block were removed after the 2nd day, but as we didn't see any other signs of cleaning we think this was a helpful camper. In the 'yellow' block we were amused by getting caught out again and again by the toilet paper holder lid banging us on the head when we pulled the paper we didn't learn!
Lots of reviews mentioned the tranquility of the sight, a reason we choose it. There was a vast population of crows who delighted in life and screamed and squawked throughout the day -there's obviously a reason they call it a murder of crows ?- this is nature though and unfair to attribute this to the campsite - I'm sure some people would love the sound -so instead I will mention the working farm, situated at the bottom of the field across a small lane, We didn't work out what they were doing but guessed at playing conkers with skips- or demolishing metal barns, to be fair it is a working farm and they do work long hours a 06.30 start and also they work on a Sunday - maybe we just happened to have been there on an exceptionally noisy week. A point also to remember is not too pitch too close to the fruit tree - in the sunshine the piles of rotting fruit on the ground attracts wasps, fortunately we saw little sun.

Fabulous location really got on top of the Severn

Disliked is too harsh … But on arrival you kind of had to figure out what was going on, and once you did - the toilets / showers / services were a little on the ‘rustic’ side. But - for the price, the site is pretty damn good and we’d recommend to friends!!

5 minute walk to the river and the severn way. 5 minute walk to the pub.
