What customers say
Great riverside spot with friendly staff and level pitches. Many love the peace, scenery, and pub access. Facilities are old and basic, though some found them fine. Site upkeep and cleanliness could be better, but location and value mean guests want to return.

From my experience this weekend, worse site ever
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful location, right by the river. Spacious pitch - although I think this was not intentional but more because there were no marked pitches (although neat pitches are shown in their photos of the site).
Disliked 3 day rap/drum and base music festival in practically on site, shower block should be condemned, did I mention the 3-day music festival that played from midday to early hours which meant we couldn’t leave the site easily. What should have been a lovely quiet bank holiday weekend in beautiful sunshine was completely ruined. So bad we actually left a day early and were refused a refund with the excuse of what do we expect so close to a pub. The pub was not the issue, we should have been warned this event would be on our door step. The noise level was unacceptable. Avon Estates I’m waiting for a response to my complaint

Liked The only thing I liked was leaving first thing in the morning
Disliked The site looks untidy and dated,Grass needed cutting ,site warden wasn't over helpful ,just pointed at the field and said choose a spot, no introduction or explain about facilities.
Gravel/grass pitch was covered in grass weeds growing through gravel .
The toilet block very dated and uncleaned (good job we self sufficient) no hand soap, dirty sinks,and urinals .
The elsan disposal point unsafe with decking upto it and round ,looked and felt like its ready to collapse.
No signage to show where it was .
Might be ok for some people ,the only reason i stopped was id been driving for 5 hrs and was shattered ,wont be returning

Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked Flat pitches for tents; not many camping when I went, so lots of space in lovely quiet field with facilities near. Park car next to tent. The pub was great, 2 mins walk; probably less.

Good location, very close to a great pub.
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Spacious pitches with both individual electrical and water hook ups which was great. Great location and very close to friendly pub with good beer and food.
Disliked The toilet block was shocking. Very dated, no hot water in the sink taps and no soap to wash your hands.

The site was fine for my purposes - for one night to attend a meeting.
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Plenty of room - I was the only camper.
A call to the proprietor informed me was in Tenerife and had instructed Pitchup not to accept any bookings. However, I did not need a hookup, WiFi, or anything, so I was able to pitch where I liked.
(But I note that Pitchup charged for a hookup, which I didn't want)
Disliked The location is nice, but the site was tired and dog-eared.
