Liked: Not a lot
Disliked: Entry right, damaged wind mirror in tight gates. Site sloping, not a problem but due to rain I struggled to turn round to get out again. Facilities dire, rather not have a loo if it’s a portaloo. Didn’t stay so lost our fees as took in advance.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, I would like to answer your points. Firstly, you are the first person who has managed to hit our wall out of the hundreds who have camped in similar size vehicles; secondly, we advertise that our ground is sloping but always offer assistance with towing out of necessary, and the rain which makes the ground slippery is out of our control; thirdly, we also advertise that the toilets are Portaloos, and as for our ‘dire’ facilities, we don’t actually claim to offer the kind of facilities you so obviously require. We are so happy to take fair criticism and feedback but please properly read the description of campsites before you book and then you won’t be dissatisfied with what we offer.
