What customers say
A top spot with spacious sites, near the Aviation Heritage Centre. The Red Lion pub's food and vibe get rave reviews. Clean loos and showers, with plenty of hot water. Peaceful, safe, and most folks wanna come back!

Liked Lovely Site.
Really great sized pitch.
Clean camping area.
Great location
Disliked Toilets/Shower areas could really do with being checked over more frequently, was mainly down to customers to tidy up - but evidently a lot of visitors did not want to tidy up, which was a shame as this is the only thing, for me, that left the site down.
Play area for kids would have been good had it not been for the damage caused by unsupervised older children breaking some of the equipment, therefore not wanting me to let me children use.

From the manager: Hi Thankyou for your comments, unfortuanlty we just don’t have the ability to check after every person has used the facilities we clean these ever single day but it appears that using the provided mop and so on to tidy after there use is just not the done thing, I’m afriad to say that we would not be able to keep our prices so reduced and employe some one to clean this consistently, our prices would have to rise to cover this cost,
All of the park equipment has been inspected and required were needed after this busy weekend it’s a shame as we do have signs all over saying that children must be supervised but again we are unable to constantly supervise this at every moment of the day,
Due to us having to also work full time to support the pub and keep it open, we do rely on people abiding by the rules but we are left picking up the peace’s which is a shame Thankyou again

Liked Pitch very flat
Toilets clean and nice hot shower
Food amazing 5 star ⭐
Disliked Non electric pitch far from toilet block
Low shower pressure
Could do with more seating area in the pub when the weather isn't great
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi thank you for your feedback and your lovely comments,
We do ah e planning permission for another toilet block near non electric unfortuanlty with the current financial climate this is not something we can invest in, this is why we have kept our non electric pitch’s so very cheap per night, I’m afriad it is not possible to put any more seating within the pub as we only have so much room and we have to leave space for saftey reasons an maximum capacities,
This I’m afriad is just the limitations we are faced with being a family owned pub and campsite rather than a massive chain pub, and the pub being from the 1800s we are limited to what we are allowed to do
Thankyou for your comment though
Very nice site. And a wonderful pub. Nice food
