Liked Superb facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff

Liked The best thing about this campsite is definitely its location, it’s beautifully situated next to the river with a lovely walk into the town via 2 foot bridges. Great for dog walks.

The toilet block is spacious with huge room within the showers and the individual toilets. The radio is left running so you’re not listening to everyone else.

A shop for every essential is well stocked and the staff are amazing attentive and friendly.

Both the grass and the hard standing pitches appear to be very well looked after.

Disliked The hard standing whilst very solid and looked after may require ramps to adjust for level.

The power is shared between multiple pitches so can be quite far, bring a long hook up cable.

From the manager: Thank you for the amazing review. We hope you enjoyed your stay and will visit us again sometime.

The majority of our grass and hard standing pitches are pretty level but we do have a couple that may require levelling ramps to be used.

We recommend that customers bring a 25m 16 Amp hook up cable with them, however we do have a limited stock of 16 Amp extension cables in Reception that canbe borrowed if required.

Liked I honestly or I should say “we” honestly could not fault the site.
Nice size site where no matter where you were pitched you were in close proximity to fresh drinking water , toilet, shower facilities and the main reception area. As well as a large outdoor water supply/ sink for washing up dishes etc.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and provided you with all the information you required for your stay.

Something that sets this site apart from the rest is the additional thought that goes in for campers in tents (in particular). As you approach the beautifully modern and immaculate reception area. There is a lovely area with comfortable chairs and heated with a coffee machine where you can purchase some nice beverages and make use of charging facilities and a microwave. To the exterior, there are several picnic benches to relax outside with a vending machine for some drinks or snacks outwith the opening hours of the onsite shop.

The new shower block had 6 toilet cubicles and 6 shower cubicles that provided plenty space to shower and change within the cubicle and are open 24/7. Hairdryers provided with shaving style sockets beside each sink.

The town is walking distance with plenty shops and sites nearby if you forget anything. A beautiful wall from the campsite is also easily accessible as well as a small park for younger children. There are plenty electric hook ups and my only advice is to ensure you have a good length cable connection (minimum 10m) as some pitches are based with one point of several porches and dependant where you were based, it may require to trail a little.

WiFi worked from the tent also which was free to access too and a nice touch

Disliked My only (and I’m being very picky) was that the ground was quite rocky under the grass which posed a challenge for the pegs for the tent so ensure to take hardy pegs with you to break through. This did not impact the comfort of the ground when standing on it

From the manager: Thank you for the amazing review. We hope you enjoyed your stay and will visit us again sometime.

Regarding the hard ground for tent pegs, this is not normally a problem, but we are finding the ground is quite hard in places after the unbelievably dry April and May that we have had. June, on the other hand, has been quite wet for a few days, so as the ground soaks up the water, this should eventually solve any hard ground issues.
