Liked: The facilities were good having everything needed. The staff were friendly. The campsite had a lovely family feel to it. My son loved the large park.
Disliked: Whilst the showers were big enough for one person, I struggled with my 3 year old son. It would be helpful to have a larger family one.

Overall it was a good site, but security should be improved.

Liked: Clean camp site with a shop and bar onsite, great toilet and shower facilities.
Disliked: There is little to no security on the site outside of the office opening hours. There was teenagers who had come from the caravans playing on the play area being rude and inappropriate to the younger children. Friday and Saturday night there was music playing until late but it sounded like it was coming from a nearby site.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: The play area, my son loved this part of the camp and spent a majority of his time there. Staff were great and really accommodating. A lovely campsite.
Disliked: The long grass where we had to pitch our tent, we couldn't play our ball games and worried about how close it was to our bbq and stove even though they were on a stand(the stand is only a small one and wuite low)

Liked: The kids disco and The park. Flat pitches. Able to set up as we liked.
Disliked: The walk to the toilet block was far. The grass had not been cut for quite sometime. There was more bugs that I've ever seen in my life and got bitten to shreds. Rowdy swearing neighbours arguing and punching the car. Although the warden came promptly it didn't make any difference to their behaviour until the early hours when they passed out with alcohol. The kids were scared. Relaxing weekend .. it was not! Phone signal... non existent.

Liked: Great location, lots of space on the field to choose where you want your tent. Kids loved the play park! On-site pub with entertainment. Liverpool Leeds canal accessible from site for a walk.
Disliked: Reading the reviews prior to our stay I was wary about using the toilet/shower block. They could really do with an upgrade! No where near as good as the last few sites we have stayed at.

Liked: It wasn’t that far from where we live and as it was kids first time camping it was ideal. It’s great for a last minute local get away and the grounds are well kept.
Disliked: The toilets could do with a revamp. They’re not bad but they could definitely be better. It would be ideal if the pub/restaurant on site served food later than 6pm too or maybe offered a bit of a limited menu take out service.
