Liked: How accommodating the owners were considering the awful weather they had had. We were still able to stay with facilities.
Disliked: Shower block a little dated and cold. Shower went cold when toliet Was flushed. Park was in the middle of nowhere. However there is a bus service and owners again helpful with taxi numbers etc.

Liked: The area, it's where I grew up
Disliked: The toilet block was disgusting, having 2 showers in with toilets meant everytime someone had a shower the toilet floor was flooded. Like many people I spoke to on site I used my chemical toilet. Will never go back there and as it's the first time I've used Pitch Up to find a camp site it may, only may, be the last time as well.
