Liked: Plenty of space to pitch up, beautiful scenery.
Disliked: There was no one at reception it was locked and no answer from any of the numbers listed so we pitched up ourselves and didn’t even see anybody until the next day. Toilet facilities and shower facilities could be better and cleaner.

Wouldn't recommend
Powered gravel and concrete caravan site
Liked: Very little.
Disliked: The centre reception area itself was chaos when I went in. Over run with kids no one on reception, only a contact number on the front door. It was about 20 minutes before anyone showed up and during thus time we drove around the site. It was very run down with no designated pitches and wet mucky hard-core. We left without staying

Quiet, relaxing campsite; great stay.
Powered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site
Liked: I had a fantastic and relaxing weekend at Allen Centre. The campsite is quiet and simple, offering the perfect escape in a natural, green environment. Since it was close to the end of the season, there weren’t many people around, which made it even more peaceful and comfortable.
The instructions for self check-in were clear, and even though there was no staff on site, I had no issues. A mobile number was provided in case I needed anything, but everything was smooth and easy. I also appreciated the trust-based payment system—no one rushed or pressured me at any point.
Overall, I really appreciated the serene environment and the chance to unwind. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax in nature!
Disliked: While I had a great time at Allen Centre, I did notice there were a lot of expired items in the fridge. It would be much better if these could be cleared out regularly to keep things fresh for future guests.

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site
Liked: Nothing to like , nobody on reception , cash only which in this day and age is very poor service. very run down campsite , toilets very dirty and smelly ,wont be going there again !!
Disliked: We arrived at approx 2pm to be told by a lady that a group of 30-40 foreign nationals were due to arrive with very loud music and BBQ and would be parting all night .
So we decided to leave before the party started and we were lucky to get a camper hard pitch at a different campsite in the next village.
