What customers say
A grand spot, spotless with great amenities – pool, spa, restaurant all top-notch. Folks loved the staff, roomy pitches and forest walks. Perfect for families and doggos. Only downside? A bit pricey for activities and the phone signal's dodgy. Some grumbles about noise and a few bits needing a bit more sprucing.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Toller Platz in schöner Umgebung, top
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Schöner ruhiger Platz, toll angelegt, viel Unterhaltung
Disliked Wir fänden eine Bäckerei oder frische Backwaren auf dem Platz gut.
In dem Waschhaus dass wir benutzen fehlten Waschbecken zum rasieren, waschen, Zähneputzen. Die vorhandenen Waschbecken waren dafür eher ungeeignet. Ist aber beides nicht schlimm und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Great!
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely, pretty site, forest, grounds and parks. Swimming pool, entertainment, good food. Bookable activities for kids. Friendly staff.
Disliked Not the fault of the site but the wasps were relentless when sitting outside, maybe something could be done around the bins to help prevent so many being present.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great facilities, all clean and close to each other. Lots of entertainment both evening and activities.
Restaurant and cafe both really nice and can order online.
Bike hire onsite with bike trail from campsite made it really convenient for exploring.
Walks straight from the campsite was great for dogs. warm dog wash was a huge touch. As was bike wash.
Disliked Phone 4g/5g not available but could access WiFi from restaurant and from pitch at non peak times. Recommended downloading anything before you get there. Although was perfect for switching off.
