What customers say
Great spot by the river, with helpful staff and top-notch facilities (showers, WiFi free!). Spacious sites and local attractions are a bonus. A few reckon midges, WiFi, and toilets could be better when it's busy.

Riverside camping pod
Liked This site should be closed down as there policies are very rigid .
And the river is full of parasites my brother was very poorly from the river . So I wouldn't suggest going in .
Disliked I paid to come and stay and i was unwell and needed to change dates they were very unhelpful . I have 2 stomas after suffered 3 rounds with cancer. It left me disabled for life . I picked up a tummy bug . I wanted to change dates they said no and took all my money that I had paid in advanced which was the full amount .

Top quality site, friendly staff, clean facilities
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Just a great all round campsite! Even has a milkshake machine on site
Disliked The hard standing could be a touch wider for motorhomes so you dont always stand on grass when you get out.

Excellent site- really pretty with well spaced pitches.
Fully-serviced concrete and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely site with really helpful and friendly wardens. Some really nice short walks nearby. Great for using as a base to visit great walking trails. The pitches were well spaced and the site well laid out.
Disliked The bathroom although very clean are in need of modernisation. Showers were warm after a while and the push button variety. The cubicles were small, nothing to sit on to dry feet. The toilet cubicles were small but clean.

Great site with lovely scenery
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Good sized pitches with plenty of room between each vehicle. Surroundings were lovely, we were pointing at the trees which were full of all kinds of birds, made for very peaceful viewing! Also close to a nice walk by the river. I only used the toilet block but it was spacious and clean.

Liked We can very highly recommend… if you’re looking for a peaceful tranquil place to stay this as everything that you’re looking for, idyllic scenery with a sound of a fast flowing river and fresh air, this is for you.
