What customers say
A peaceful, welcoming spot in a charming village. Praised for its roomy, flat pitches and friendly staff. Close to the famous Woolpack pub and great walks. Facilities are clean but a bit dated; more toilets/showers would be good. Watch cricket/footy at the club.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Smashing little spot and great facilities.

Power optional grass site
Liked A lovely little spot, plenty of room to pitch the tent. Great hook-up and close to tent. Good access to toilets, showers and fresh water.
Very clean throughout.
Disliked Club house was closed during the half-term week and only open on weekends. This would have made it a top venue.

Great small campsite on a sports club.
Power optional grass site
Liked Great communication from the site leading up to our stay, selection of flat pitches, nice walk into the village and through the woods. Having some local football games on while we were there was a bonus but obviously won’t appeal to everyone.
Disliked Not a dislike as such but unisex toilet and shower block. Wouldn’t stop us returning but just prefer separate units.

Power optional grass site
Liked The site is situated in very pleasant surroundings. No issues with the site. However, be careful with the lockable swing barrier. Whilst driving through I had the misfortune of a strong gust of wind blowing it back on my van resulting in £300 worth of damage to the body. Once you unlock the gate you can rotate it a further 90 degrees clockwise and you can lock it open with the padlock in order to avoid this happening.
Disliked Gate/barrier system

From the manager: Hi Adrian
Apologies for not being able to check you in personally - wedding responsibilities unfortunately. Pleased the instruction text message worked.
I agree that our facilities are dated, however we do keep ‘em very clean. Of course this isn’t always easy when we’re busy and the weather is poor, so more apologies for your experience and that I wasn’t there for you to report it to.
Incidentally, we made improvements last season and there will be more made for next season.
In terms of things to do; our Pitchup page is accurate in what our site location offers, so I’m not sure what your expectations were before you arrived.
All the best in your future travels - happy camping.

A good site for a short stay.
Power optional grass site
Liked Lots of space on the site, great location to explore the area.
Disliked The toilet and shower facilities, although clean, were some distance away. Whilst there we had torrential rain which meant the area in front of the toilet block had huge pools of water to navigate.
