What customers say
This is a well-maintained, friendly, and spacious campground with lots of family activities, including a clean outdoor pool, play areas, and on-site entertainment. Guests praise the generous pitches, clean facilities, and helpful staff. However, some visitors note outdated washrooms, occasional noise from other campers, and that the site isn't entirely dog-friendly due to restrictions.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall the site was nice 1st day was crowded 2nd day more quieter
Primitive grass campsite (no pets, small)
Liked Onsite entertainment everything was clean and friendly staff the club house was great as well
Disliked Not much to do in the town centre difficult to get food after 3pm but this has nothing to do with the campsite as they have a cafe and food was available

Good site, good value for money with plenty to do. Although very busy
Primitive grass campsite (no pets, small)
Liked Location was great, amenities at the site were good. On site shop sold lots of things that we needed.
On site cafe (although did not use) was perfect for takeaway options and option to use club house was also great.
Drinking walking very close to site.
Very friendly staff, even helping find your pitch.
Disliked Very busy site, which unfortunately meant some people left the toilets in a bit of a mess; soiled underpants in the gents, and sick all over the porta-loos. Nothing to do with the site itself as it was otherwise generally clean.
Fair old trek to the toilets if your on the furthest away camping field, and washing up station.
As it was busy, children, dogs and people running all over the place, which made very difficult to drive through. Potentially needs some kind of footpath for pedestrians?

Powered grass campsite (small)
Liked Nice spacious pitches, friendly staff, pool was nice and clean, albeit a bit cold. Clean toilets and showers.
Disliked Bar drinks were poor (no decent draft beer), no ball games in pool and have to prebook, a bit needlessly strict given it wasn’t busy
Recommend to friends Visit again
Overall it is a very nice site with lots to do
Powered grass campsite (XL)
Liked This site has a lot to offer from a takeaway, cafe, bar, outdoor pool, kids park and on site shop so there was plenty for us to do. The toilet and shower blocks were clean.
Disliked Our pitch was very hard ground, a few inches of grass on top of rubble which was really tough to get our pegs in
Recommend to friends Visit again
