Unpowered grass site
Liked: Excellent and friendly staff. Access to the river for paddle boarding and boating is excellent and easy.Fields are very large and great for big to small groups which includes families. Would only return because of the river which is a shame as it could be a wonderful campsite.
Disliked: The only disappointment of the camping site is that there is only one toilet block for the entire site which can lead to a long walk. What's also very disappointing is the state and size of the toilet block. Only 3 cubicles for the men and 5 for the women. This accommodates the entire site for potentially hundreds of people.when we left at 8am in the morning only one cubicle was running due to the lack of toilet paper and cleanliness. Shame really, toilet block is needed on each field.

Disliked: None of what I booked was correct many large dogs off leads late music motor bikes riding around in the field past mid night. We may just have picked a bad weekend but looks and seems to be no control in what goes on with large groups, nobody checking.

Liked: Location was fantastic, the site its self was so peaceful. Toilet and shower blocks were clean. The lady we checked us in was very friendly.
Disliked: The grass was quite long in places meaning you couldn’t see where the ditches were when walking to the toilets.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you will visit again. Unfortunately the grass at this time of year needs cutting about every 5 days and with 500 acres this can prove a challenge especially when the weather is not kind to us. We look forward to your next visit.
