Great site if you like a festival vibe!
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The street food area and ‘crown jules’ cocktail bar had a great vibe, was absolutely buzzing in the evening with live music too. Great to pick up a breakfast nap & coffee the morning after.
Disliked Our pitch wasn’t defined in any way, just in a big field. Facilities were too few to cater for the sheer number of people on site, there were queues every time we went to use them. The toilets were grubby by the evening, again due to the sheer numbers using them.
