What customers say
Well-kept, peaceful spot by a lovely river with great amenities. Praised for clean washrooms, roomy spots, and kind hosts. Easy access to forest trails and bike paths. A few guests noted a desire for more washrooms at busy times and some faint road noise.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Quiet site with all the services that you will need. Quite protected by trees but still sunny.
Forest walks nearby for the dog, probably best to drive there as it is 3 mins away by car.

From the manager: We are delighted you had a great stay with us, thank you for the glowing review.....WOW!
Just one thing.. If you had walked out of the site over the bridge and turned left, walked for a few hundred yards, you will have arrived as stunning river and forest walks.
Our walks are on the doorstep, literally. The other walks are all the same, just yards from the site, you did not have to get in the car at all. You need to come back again, and I will take a walk with you to show off our fabulous walks, just a few yards away from the site gates.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely site, quiet, showers/toilets clean and modern. Could do with another toilet, as the single one with a sink only and the two combined as a shower room, are always full when it's the peak busy times, so difficult to pop to the loo when you need to go!
Disliked Nothing, will be returning!

Patio powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We love this place! It's quite, relaxing, not overcrowded. Definitely need bikes!!! Must have! Very beautiful nature.
Disliked Good freezer to make ice would be perfect, but other than that it is an amazing camp!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for the amazing review... It really helps us and our campers. And we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Yes bikes would be great as there are so many places around us to cycle, we are on the Sustrans 81 and 82 literally from the site gates, and the forest roads around us.
We are amazed that your comment about needing a freezer for making ice cubes.... There is one, its an under counter freezer right next to the washing up sink , its a large freezer compartment on top of the fridge! You really could not miss it! There is a photo of it in the listing.

Liked Great site, small, good facilities that were clean. Good location and loved the white noise from the river behind
Disliked WiFi is £3 ph to use
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Re the WiFi if you had paid £5 you would have had 24 hrs use.
We do not own the WiFi its an outside company 'Campsite WiFi' as we cannot get WiFi from the house to the site.
Sorry for your inconvenience.
