Good, but need to do better
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Big area with good shower and water. Close to nice lake and extra activities
Disliked Very loud at night, close to main road and lots of loud driving cars. Extremely expansive to add any activity or service, comes out to hotel costs.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Basic grass no frills pitches.
Not to far from Wembley as we were attending a play off game so a taxi was approximately £20.
Disliked Portaloos could be a bit grim by the evening before their morning cleans.

Anonymous Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Great location, dog friendly (although not everyone keeps them on leads which was annoying!) and LOADS to do for young kids the perfect site for little ones first making adventures

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review, I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your camping trip with us. One of our rules are that all dogs must be kept on leads, so am sorry to hear not everyone was following this. I will make sure to share this with the team so everyone is keeping an extra look out for anyone not following this rule.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Visited with my 2 kids 1 & 3, great open space for them to run around and very little car movement around the field.
I’m not sure there was much free stuff to do onsite for the kids so you would have to go off site.
There is an airfield 5 minutes down the road that has a little cafe where you can sit and watch the plane move and take off.
It’s about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the farm which we visited everyday and they sell local produce, I was tempted to get some but had no where to store it.
There is a lake you can walk around but we didn’t managed to do it.
Toilets are not as bad as people make out, they were cleaned regularly but not sure they were emptied during out stay.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked The location was nice
Disliked Very loud, people shouting and playing music past 10pm. Had to call security got so loud, would expect them to be more on it.
Additional charge for firepit is unnecessary. Acceptable for wood, but no where else charges you for the ‘right’ to have a fire.
Toilet facilities are portaloos which are not clean.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review, it is helpful to get feedback from customers so that we can constantly improve.
We do have a strict rule of no noise after 10pm, which is one of the reasons why we have security onsite to control this. Security keep an eye on the campsite and our cabins up near our car park, so they may have been in the other direction and is why we provide you with the contact number. I will make sure to pass this on to our security team so that we can ensure this is being stopped straight away.
