What customers say
Beautiful riverside spot near a popular pub. Reviewers praise spacious, quiet pitches. Facilities are basic, dated, and need updating, some finding them unclean. Still, great location and value make it appealing for many.

A beautiful site in desperate need of maintenance and some TLC
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Excellent location, very tranquil and the pub next door is lovely and can’t do enough for you.
Disliked The site feels neglected and desperately needs some TLC. Hardstanding pitches haven’t been treated and are overgrown. The whole site hasn’t been mowed. The toilets/showers are not looked after. We were in a caravan so had our own shower, I would not use the ones on site. The toilet block had not been cleaned before we arrived - a manky towel on the floor and a full to over-flowing bin in one of the cubicles which remained for the whole of our stay. For these reasons I think £30 per night is too expensive but because of the location I would stay again - maybe on the pub site

The pub and site in front…
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The pub and site in front of it. Perfect.
Disliked Disgusting. Long grass. Couldn’t even see the gravel pitch we paid for. Filthy all round. How the hell he gets away with it I don’t know. No electric for some poor camper folk other side from us. Showers toilet needs condemning. Thank god for the pub

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

Not very goid
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
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

Could be a nice site with some care and attention
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked River setting is the plus point on this campsite, plenty of space - there was only 2 campers on site! Pub next to campsite, however didn’t try it as there was a huge group of bikers (at a guess 50+) filling the place (Outlaws from Birmingham) so we didn’t try the pub.
Disliked Poor signposting to the entrance, missed it whilst negotiating bikers. Very poor facilities- thankfully had our own.

I would go there again
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.
