Disliked: Area is not flat and very wet causing muddy conditions in areas. As we were leaving the tires spun do to the conditions ( not the area was already a mud pit) and a gentleman took it upon himself to yell at us for making a mess and making the park look nasty.

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: The site was in a lovely location. It was really peaceful and all the campers were super respectful.
Disliked: Although this is a cheaper camp site, sadly the facilities were poor. They only had two toilets in the womens, and one in the men’s. (Plus a urinal) There was no hot water for washing dishes, and the only tap with a ‘Drinking Water’ sign didn’t work, so we were unsure if the others were safe to drink. There was a charge of £6 per dog which I normally don’t mind paying but here I didn’t really see what that cost covered. We didn’t have any welcome into the site, no one checked we’d even booked so we just parked where we thought was best. The toilets do not have any lights, nor is the camp lit of an evening which made things a little difficult.

Not a campsite. It’s a sloped corner of a muddy field.

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: Location
Disliked: Pretty much everything. Pulled into the site, then drove away and booked elsewhere. It’s not really a campsite. Its a muddy corner of a sloped field with a few caravans that look abandoned and other than a fishing lake zero facilities. Presumably this place appeals to the fishing crowd but it’s certainly not for me. Even £15 felt like a rip off.
