Pilsdon View Camping

Liked Very clean and spacious. Warm welcome on arrival. Facilities were clean and showers warm. The food truck was a lovely perk and staff were really sweet with our one year old. Campsite was generally quiet from about 9pm.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your lovely review. We love the photos😀

Liked April and Terry were so welcoming and so helpful. Nothing was too much for them.
The site itself has everything you need. It's very spacious, hot showers, toilets close by, fresh water available. The children loved the tyre swing and were so pleased to find a park tucked away on site too. We especially loved how although the site got busy, it never felt busy. Everyone's tents were spaced out nicely with huge spaces in front for ball games and whatever else. We were able to use a fire pit without a charge and everyday a tractor would come round with firewood for us to purchase at a small cost and they threw in kindling and paper for free too! Lots of bikes and other toys for the children to help themselves to to play with. The children made signs for the water stations and the next day April had laminated them ready to put them up. Super friendly. The food van on site was great too. Jurassic Pork. Everyone was so friendly and we will definitely be back!

Disliked There's nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Many thanks for your visit. Thank you so much for writing this lovely review, you will be welcome back when you next visit.
Thank you for the ‘hydration station’ artwork.

Liked Nice large grass pitches, 2 clean hot showers what I seen, nice clean toilet block.

lovely hot take away food from jurassic pork and hot and cold drinks.

The kids loved the tire tree swing.

Disliked The welcome was pleasent from April the owner, but didnt feel so welcome from Terry her husband because our dog jumped out of the car after a long journey.

Terry is like the site warden stick to the rules especially if you have a dog, keep it on a lead he gave my wife a good telling off.

The dog area as a gap under the gate a dog can escape under it, my collie got under it and ran back to our tent when my son took him for a walk.

Why is there not a dog poo bin in the dog walk area? you have to walk to the bins area just to put dog poo in the bin.

There is not enough showers on site two in a middle of a field in a wooden shed the left one was allways cold. One in another next to a eco loo you have put some sort of soil in when you finish. I did not see the others at the other end of site if any might have been one or two there in another shed.

Sheep in opposite field did make alot of noise in the early mornings by the river field ( stream ) thats deep bankings not accesable.

Very much doubt we will stay here again.

From the manager: We are sorry that you didn’t enjoy your stay and were unhappy about various aspects of your stay. We are a dog-friendly campsite, providing water bowls by reception and the toilet block. We also have about 1/3 acre dog walking area, where dogs can be off lead to run and play. Unfortunately in the past we have had issues with some poorly controlled dogs which have bitten and frightened guests. This is why we do enforce the rule that dogs must be kept on a lead or tether outside the dog walking area.
We have considered placing a dog poo bin in the dog walking area, but we are concerned that it might be misused, dog faeces is toxic and can carry disease, so we have made the decision to keep all the bins together.
We have a total of five showers which is usually more than adequate for the number of guests. We rarely see queues building up, and they are cleaned thoroughly every day. During your stay, one of the showers did run cold due to a fault, and as soon as this was brought to our attention Terry repaired it so it would run hot again. If any of our guests encounter a problem we ask them to come and talk to us in the first instance.

Liked A lot of space and very kind people

From the manager: Many thanks for your visit and your very kind review. We look forward to seeing you again. We don't have any WiFi here which can be a bit annoying for some people, but it is a chance to go off-grid and really chill out.

Liked So friendly and accomodating. Beautiful place too.

Liked Greeting, facilities, cleanliness, vibe. We have been here for 4 times now and our children love it. Would recommend!!

Disliked Being told we could have a certain shady spot by the river but upon arrival it was taken by a friend of theirs/ someone working there. Bit disappointing and seems that all the nicer pitches are taken up this way.

From the manager: Many thanks for your visit. I hope the birthday girl had a wonderful time. We did our best to accommodate your request “Please can we mark out the pitch next to the river that is closest to the play area & yurt please and we will be a group but booking separately. Many thanks, ” by pitching the bell tent next to the river so that you could all pitch close together. It wasn’t clear that you actually wanted to be right in the corner, and that situation had already been occupied. We have a policy not to reserve particular places as we prefer our guests to have choice over where they pitch when they arrive.

Liked Everything including the weather.Rural site ideal if you want peace and quiet with just the sound of children’s laughter enjoying the freedom of the space.From the personal meeting at the entrance to the spotless facilities and the fire pit provision evening was spot on. It was exactly as described.
