Doesn't promise any frills but the basics are done really well.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Flat area for pitches and grass mown well so that it was pleasant underfoot (I have visited some sites where the grass is too long for comfort).
Excellent and clean toilet and shower facilities.
Lots of washing up stations and access to fresh water.
Decent spacing between pitches.
Disliked There was a little noise from traffic on the road nearby but it wasn't excessive.

Highly recommend Theo’s 5 acres
Premier powered grass tent or RV campsite (Private restroom amenities)
Liked The completely secluded and gated off pitch with your own private dining room kitchen bathroom and toilets was a true eye-opener to camping with young children. Everything was so clean Theo was anything but accommodating and even blended us an extension lead so we could blow our bed. I will be returning with my family again to this exact site as it was so quiet and beautiful there were lots of great dog walks from the campsite and local amenities that are only 10 to 15 minutes away.
There is very limited connectivity at the campsite, which was a really welcomed inconvenience It really allowed us to disconnect and relax over the weekend!
