Lingfield, Surrey, England
Powered grass campsite
Liked The food van (chefs van) was very tasty
Bar at the weekends was a nice touch
It was close to where we needed to be
Being under the Gatwick flight path was no where near as noisy as some reviews said- by 12.30am its pretty much silent
Disliked The toilet/shower blocks were filthy. Not a little bit dirty, genuinely filthy.
The middle shower block for women had a hole in the ceiling that, when I reported it, the maintenance man didn't know about, which is telling add it was very clearly not a new hole.
The pitches were pretty much on top of each other- so close that when we got back one evening our neighbours had to move all of their chairs off our pitch so we could park back up.
There is no lighting around the camp at all. Husband is visually impaired and we have never struggled at a campsite before as there has always been at least low lighting on the sides of paths etc. There was absolutely nothing here and so I had to go everywhere with him after dusk as he couldn't navigate the site safely.
The site didn't feel safe. I can't put my finger on why but both of us felt unsafe and just... not right on the site.
Paying 50p for a shower in a filthy, flooded shower block. This wasn't a cheap campsite and we felt we were being ripped off. We knew in advance we'd have to pay for showers, but when you're paying over £300 for a site you should be able to eclectic showers to be included
Ladies showers in communal shower block flooded at least once a day
Despite there being 2 shower blocks, there are actually only 5 showers (6 if you count the disabled shower) each for men and women. One of these had a hole in it and was dripping water from a pipe somewhere so that's 4 total. For a campsite with 2 camp fields, static caravans, bell tents, shepherds huts and a small population of permanent residents...it's no where near enough
