The Mead powered gravel and cement/asphalt tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The pitch was flat and a decent size for our camper and awning. Bookings were spaced out well so we had neighbours but there were big spaces in between. Staff around site were friendly. Communal toilets and showers were spotless. We didnt use it but liked having a shop, entertainment etc on site. We did play a game of pool. Forest walks around site were beautiful. Quiet site during term time.
Disliked: Registering to use the gym/pool put me off abit, we had a night stay so didnt seem worth it. Will look into it more for next time prehaps

From the manager: Hello, Many thanks for your feedback regarding your recent break! You do not need to register to use the pool or gym, you would have been given a leisure pass on arrival that you show to the desk and they let you straight in.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: * nice large pitches * great children’s play areas * lots is space for the kids * catered for large groups
Disliked: * Very noisy at night- both from neighbouring pitches and on-site entertainment * small toilet block near us ran out of toilet paper and wasn’t the cleanest * signage throughout site could have been better * indoor swimming pool could have been warmer * saw a fat rat in the bins * wifi didn’t work at peak times (there is no phone signal)
