Liked: FABULOUS site, it's got everything you need on site. Very clean and tidy, The rangers are always about and extremely helpful. Good dog walking area, my 2 loved a good run off the lead in a secure area. There is a pitch area for non dog lovers too. Well stocked shop, crazy golf, swimming pool, club houses. This will definitely be our go to site when we don't want to go far. Give it a try ! 😍
Disliked: Nothing

Electric grass pitch (small)
Liked: The friendliness off the staff is amazing, nothing was to much for them. Stayed for wem carnival. Never got a chance to go anywhere on the site. But the site looked clean. Always had toilet roll in the toilets and the floor was clean in there aswell. The wardens was super nice and so helpful. Amazing signal on my phone while I was there. Shop is reasonably price and even got a fridge magnet. There was llamas/alpacas a short distance but could see them from the caravan which was nice.
Disliked: The hornets that wanted to camp in my caravan on the 1st night. Called the warden and they got rid of them. The wardens was friendly and had a laugh with them. Not really a dislike as the campsite cant control who wants to go camping including flying bugs. The pitches became water logged after heavy rain but thats mother nature's fault not the campsite itself.

Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked: Chose orange pitch (no dogs allowed) lovely and quiet, opposite the park which the children loved. Nice size pool, which you have to book slots for which is ideal because it's never too crowded. Toile & shower facilities all OK. And a handy shop & cafe onsite. Also entertainment onsite aswell. Grounds men nice,friendly & helpful. Overall a lovely relaxing camping trip to end the summer.
Disliked: Location abit boring, not much going on outside of the campsite. Nowhere really to go on day trips unless you venture out.

Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked: lots to do 8 year old daughter loved it, pool great but was cold when we went as it was very windy, really enjoyed the frisbee game
Disliked: overflowing bins, tents very close together and so very noisy at night once the club house kicked everyone out because people were going back to their tents to party so some families may not like this, wardens never seen
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, Yes the bins were a problem in your area (and this weekend in general), even though they were emptied on Saturday. Also sorry you felt overcrowded on the small pitches that you booked, as they're only really designed for a 4x8 meter unit including gazebo. Tents are getting much bigger these days, so we are thinking of phasing them out. We do have a 24 hour warden phone number so you can report any problems day or night. I I know they were in the area late on Friday and Saturday night as I walked round that with them but this was about 1 o'clock in the morning by then. Hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards Robert
