Electric grass pitch
Liked: Helpful warden. Handy for Newcastle Town Centre. Generous sized pitches. Tent pitches looked very nice.
Disliked: Difficult to access toilet block. Broken down flight of steps to get in to block. Difficult to use elan point. You have to lift your waste tank etc over a wall which can be very heavy work. Toilet block is very old and possibly inadequately site is busy. Whole site needs tidying.

Liked: The warden who welcomed us was really helpful and friendly. The pitch was level and drained well in the rain. The water, electric and drain were all positioned nice and close. The toilet block was old but was kept in perfect condition.
Disliked: I felt the chemical toilet disposal point was poor, It needs to have a better way of cleaning it than a hose with poor water flow.

Liked: Lovely site and the warden was friendly and incredibly helpful, good facilities.
Disliked: Unfortunately there was a couple on the site who were drinking and playing loud music on the site (still going at 2am!) An argument ensued which involved in the lady trying to drive her car and police being called to site at 3am!!! Not much sleep had by our family and it spoilt my little boys first camping trip. In my opinion the warden should have thrown them off site but was nowhere to be seen!
