Lichfield, Staffordshire, England
Primitive gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Very close to Lichfield. Toilets and showers nice and spacious and clean.
Disliked The toilets were a long way from the pitches, and there were only two of them. Added to that, the showers were in the same room as each toilet, so if someone was having a shower the toilet was out of action too, meaning a long wait at peak times. You could pay a £20 deposit for a key to a third shower/toilet combination, but that was even further away.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Very clean facilities. Proper doors on showers with hooks to hang up clothes, and a pull-down seat in some. Lots of little camping areas with trees separating them. Tourers sited near to facilities. Shop onsite. Friendly people running the site. Nice walks leading from the site. Very quiet. Recycling strongly encouraged.
Disliked Quite a lot of notices around the site which could be a bit unwelcoming at first.

From the manager: We had additional notices around as we have been updating our dish washing area . Other notices are informational. Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Richmond, North Yorkshire, England
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked There was a lovely warm welcome from the guy in reception. The pitch was level gravel with grass between us and our neighbours. The facilities were spacious, warm and very clean with lots of shelf space for toiletries. There was also a shop on site, a fenced play area for children, and a large designated space for football and other ball games. The receptionist also gave us a map for a lovely walk through woods and fields to Easby Abbey and Richmond beyond. Both are well worth a visit. We visited late in the season, and found the site to be quiet and well-maintained.
Disliked I think the site could get a bit crowded in high season. There seemed to be a lot of established caravans which were empty when we visited, but if were occupied could make the site very busy.
Also, the washing up area was very dark at 7.30pm, and could be improved with draining racks.

From the manager: Dear Carol, Thank you for staying with us and sharing your kind feedback; the team will be thrilled when I pass it along. You should definitely come by in the summer—I promise it stays nice and uncrowded! And thanks as well for your suggestion about draining racks. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

Guisborough, North Yorkshire, England
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked A lovely warm welcome from the host who allowed us to choose our own pitches (we were travelling with a friend). Very clean toilets and showers, and well-maintained pitches.
There was also a fun-looking playground on site for children, and a cafe, although this was not open during our stay (one night in September).
Disliked We thought the pricing was rather expensive for what was on offer. There was hand wash in the bathrooms, but no other perks. Also, the washing up area, although clean and adequate, was located outside on a very windy corner which made washing up not a be very pleasant experience.

Grantham, Lincolnshire, England
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This was a large site, but very clean and tidy. The fishing lakes made it very scenic, and the woodland walk was an added bonus for walking the dog. Very friendly and relaxed. The shower blocks were very clean and there were plenty of them, including some family rooms with toilet, basin, baby changing and shower all in one room.
Disliked Understandably it got quite busy on the Saturday, but this did not affect the use of facilities.
