Liked: The site has a beautiful view of The Roaches. It was nice and easy to find, and there are several nice pubs nearby. It's also ideally located for visiting Tittesworth Water. The owners are friendly and seemed to have a laissez-faire attitude towards campers which was refreshing. There's also a pizza van on-site offering fresh sourdough pizzas.
Disliked: It would be nice to have a dedicated shower and toilet block, as the prefab facilities are a bit basic.

Liked: Great site, the couple who own it are great and always around for you if you need help. The fields were very muddy so we got stuck but they came straight away to help us.

Liked: The area is fantastic. Walking on the doorstep.
Disliked: Pitches are too close together. Couldn’t see any fire safety arrangements anywhere. It suggests quiet after 10pm -not a chance! Only 4 showers and 8 toilets for whole site which was packed Description said it was basic it definitely was!

From the manager: Hi Scott, it was the bank holiday weekend hun, we along with pretty much every other campsite in the country (that wasn't waterlogged) were packed. It gets me that people think they will book the bank holiday weekends and expect the place to be quiet. We hired in extra toilets to cope and have received lots of 10/10 for us this weekend. Everytime I personally went to clean them there was no waiting. Your absolutely correct, we do advertise as basic and we are ?? I don't just get that, your complaining that we are what we say we are 🤣 If you had a problem with noise why didn't you say anything? We come round the field every night...so you had 3 opportunities there and my number is also on the board as you enter the site....you know where you saw that noise down by 10pm...its right there on the same sign. Why didn't you ring or text? We don't advertise a play area for kids?? (But there is a great park for children just 10 minutes walk away) Again I'm not too sure about that comment 🤣 you can't book a campsite knowing it's basic with no play area then leave a 4 because its exactly that. Honestly 🤦♀️
Brilliant site with great views & facilities

Liked: Everything! The site itself is a good size, with 3 (I think) fields, we stayed in field 2. We visited on May bank holiday so it was busy but that didn’t effect our stay at all. We never queued once for the toilets or showers, we hired a campfire, wood & kindling for £10. There is a pizza van on site serving breakfast and pizzas while also selling some essentials such as toothpaste & shower gel. Pizza was DELICIOUS and fairly priced (£13). Great location for amazing walks & 10 minute drive to Asda/morrisons/lidl etc. Site is dog friendly and we will definitely be visiting the site again!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike about the site! It had been raining before we arrived so ground was slightly boggy but that’s not an issue for us at all as it’s expected anywhere :) If we were to say anything, it would maybe have hot water in the sinks to clean up dishes but no biggie, we just boiled some water up and we were good to go! :)

Liked: Loads of space, pitch where you like, even though it was pretty full everyone was respectful and no problems with noise. Toilets clean and plentiful. Friendly owners. Pizza wagon on site over bank holiday. Great site, good location.
Disliked: Could have done with a shelf or hook near sink, not the easiest to get washed when tiny sink and no hot water or anywhere to put things down.
