1st and last time we'd go…
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked 1st and last time we'd go there.
**NO! TV SIGNAL**Luckly we had our own Internet and firestick.
Pitches far too small,couldn't put up our awning on pitch 30 because the tap, its muddy as soon as you step out of your caravan,and as soon as you do your inundated with Ducks about 12,and their droppings.
We tried to get moved but was told by the girl at the reception that they couldn't as we booked through Pitchup otherwise she could have if we had booked direct through them.
Toilets are outdated,1 out of the 3 was moving off the floor and water was leaking out of the bottom, and toilet 2, the seat was all loose,not very well maintained.
Nothing on Site,no pool,shop or pub,you have to walk about 10 mins or so to get to it.
People we spoke to said they wouldn't go back.
Very dissapointed,and not what we expected,we left a day early.
Disliked Toilet maintainance keep the smaller tighter pitches for small motorhomes not large caravans.

Great location and very helpful staff.…
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Great location and very helpful staff. Site is very busy so only the minimal allowed space between pitches but the pay off to this is the great location.
Disliked It would be good to have a few more showers and toilets as it is a large busy site and as such the small number struggle to cope. They are regularly cleaned but people will be people!
