What customers say

This clean, spacious site boasts friendly staff & level pitches with room to play. Facilities generally good, though some noted minor shower quirks or queues. Great for exploring nearby, and excellent value. Many would return.

Helen Elizabeth J.

Powered grass campsite

Liked I liked the small setting of the site and the location was ideal to get to local amenities. Cheap, £26 per night peak season and dog friendly. The pitches are really flat, which a big bonus. You can have camp fires and bbqs but obviously not if it’s dry weather and the grass is like tinder. No wifi??? And no you can’t use your phone hotspot

Disliked I disliked the main road running by the side of the campsite which sounded like the M5, so it’s not very peaceful. This ceases about midnight. So you can sleep. The access road is in a bit of a state so watch your alloys with the potholes. There are no signs to highlight dog walks, or where you can walk, all the gates are chained up so difficult to access with your dog. No meet and greet on arrival, noisy campers I had to tell them to shut up. The toilets and showers were fit for use, but they need a good clean before and after people shower. No hand drying facilities or electric for hair dryers etc. the gate is not shut at night so security is a bit rubbish, however nothing eventful happened during my stay.

Liked Not too busy, spacious plots, friendly staff. Ideal shower facilities.
Great for my dog. She had space to roam without too many other dogs around.

Disliked No where to walk to as campsite is off a very busy road.We had a camper with attached canopy, so once set up, couldn't go anywhere.
No shops on site so partner had to walk the dangerous route along the busy road to the next campsite which had a shop. It was a 10 minute walk, but very risky along that road. Would visit again, but only with detachable awning so we could leave the site in the van.

Powered grass campsite

Liked I loved how cosy and friendly the site is. Owner was vigilant and bins in toilets emptied daily

Disliked Being unable to have an off ground campfire and my 10m hookup cable didn't reach, even though it stated 10m minimum. So take a 20m cable if using electric. Also there isn't anything in the toilet block to dry hands on
