What customers say
This large, family-friendly site has loads to do: a pool, parks, and entertainment. Staff are mostly praised as sound. While many find it grand and clean, some say the facilities are a bit old-fashioned. A few mention noise and the ground being tough for pegs.

Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Lovely facilities, well organised and friendly checking - my kids loved seeing the pigs.
Disliked The young lady in the shop was quite short with my daughter who was selecting a toy to buy - no need for that in a family campsite shop. My daughter didn’t tell me until we got outside and I said I’m surprised you didn’t ask for a squishy toy and she said the woman shouted at her. Had I seen it happen I’d have said something.

Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked The place was so nice, had everything you needed. Staff and rangers were so welcoming.
Disliked When we turned up and got to our plot what we paid nearly £200 that said can have upto 2 cars which I thought included my family’s camper van meaning we could have tent still. Which it never stated and got told it was health and safety reasons and wasn’t aloud so pictures got took and sent to boss to see if we could stay or not. we were not out of plot that we paid for( for 3 nights) with the car camper van and tent still inside the 1 plot we paid for. and we got told that if we paid extra £60 they will by pass it. Which really boils down too not health and safety reasons just wanting extra money! We paid it as not a problem paying the extra what annoyed me was don’t say it was for health and safety when that didn’t mind when paying extra money and then looking around camp the was plots that had more than what we did. So I don’t get why we got singled out. We have never been anywhere were you can’t put what you want on the plot you paid for.
Also we were right next to a pathway with wooden post to which was Broken and I nearly fell through and so did my kids, so so much for health and safety when not getting extra money the can’t even fix posts to make sure they are safe.

It was not a relaxed stay
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Large pitch, lots of bins and taps.
Disliked Rules for one and not another!
Was sited by a warden onto no4 but he didn't instruct no3 and no2 on their incorrect pitching, basically they put both their tents the wrong way using our pitch for guide ropes , their two families were basically including themselves onto our pitch using no 2 to park their cars , we had no privacy as the warden parked us in camper as per rules but no one asked them to pitch correctly . Everyone camping on the 2nd row behind us used our pitch to walk thru , we asked numerous times for them to stop cutting through as we had dog and all our family came for a picnic its was not a pleasant experience, our visiting daughter had her dog who was attacked by another person's dog off a lead, why bother having rules for us and then everyone else just did what they wanted.

Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Amazing camp site with plenty for the kids to do. The swimming, the club house, cafe, shop and mini golf. Pitches are reasonable in size.
Disliked All the pitches being crammed In together side by side. Its okay if you're camping with family on separate pitches and can all be together, but when you have families either side of you who constantly argue and the kids are fighting and crying all day, it becomes the pontins of camping.

Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Location
Food OK on site
Disliked Warden telling us where and how to set up, on ONE pitch when we paid for 2 pitches with electric, the other warden even said he didn't understand why he had told us to set up as we did, only later on in the day he admitted it was wrong and had been a misunderstanding.
The ground is so rocky we even bent rock pegs, the email received from the campsite actually say not suitable for tents,yet that's where we were put. The toilets at night were disgusting, fair play to the cleaners they were fine in the morning.
The site was full of screaming children racing around on bikes,scooters until late evening, I don't normally say anything but felt this campsite warranted it, they try to run it as a 5 star site, but it falls well short.

Non-electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Reception staff and wardens were really friendly, pitches were big and the kids liked the park.
Good location for what we wanted.
Disliked Toilet/shower blocks were awful. Even when they were cleaned, it felt dirty and smelly.
Some other campers were rude and disrespectful, disregarding most of the rules. They gave the place a horrible atmosphere.
Won't stay again.
