Bednall, Staffordshire, England
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The fact that it was a working dairy farm. Being able to see & get close to the many cows. The milking staff were very friendly & helpful during milking times. The site was secure with a "close the gate behind you" policy.
Disliked Not being greeted on arrival (I heard later that the owner/farmer was away). Another camper had to advise me where to set up etc. The general rubbish bin filled very quickly, with rubbish bags being left on the floor. The othe 2 bins "tin & glass" or "paper & card" were OK. The site advertised as a " small 1-10 pitch site, with no setting up after 8pm" on one night had 13 tents on site, with two cars turning up after 9pm. One car (pitching next to us) arrived about 9.30pm & tried to put up their tent & set up camp using the head lights on their running car for quite some time. There also seemed to be a stream of families arriving with children to visit a pitcher already there. Only to leave later that night (after 10pm). I'm estimating at least 15 small & young children running around on site at any one time. No kind of grounds person or staff seemed available or on site to deal with any issues. One of the 2 toilets was unpleasant to use, due to (I think) the large volume of people & children on sight.
