What customers say
Spacious sites, clean amenities, and great views. Friendly staff are a highlight, with a unique airfield appealing to families. Some dated facilities, but kept tidy. Peaceful, though some noise noted. Good location for attractions and walks.

Powered grass campsite
Liked This is a fantastic little tent pitch and the owners are super friendly. The toilets were kept immaculate and the addition of a games room and park kept the kids happy. The pitch itself was freshly mowed and huge (we could have put up two tents on our pitch) what a great find.

Lovely peaceful site with friendly accommodating owners.
2 bedroom mobile home (no pets)
Liked Lovely owners so welcoming and helpful. Not a huge site but plenty of space which we loved. Clean and tidy. Loved seeing the planes. We stayed in the static which was perfect for us. Plenty of takeaway delivery options and pizza truck and bar on the Saturday was enjoyed.
