Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Good place to get to places around london.
Disliked: Booked electric but there was no electric sockets left when we got there. We said on the phone we would like a partial refund as we have paid extra for electric and that’s why we booked this site as we was going to the races so needed hair’s appliances etc. We didnt see one member of staff on the site so have emailed about the refund yet had no reply! The land is deserted as they are clearly refurbishing their farm shop etc, however it says report to reception on arrival. Theres no reception area, we didn’t see a single member of staff so we just decided to pitch the tent ip anywhere. There was one shower situated in the one toilet they had bar the 2 portaloos they had on the other side of the field. It was certainly not the cleanest, no loo roll on the arrival, mop buckets where disgusting and left for customers to clean the floor themselves, floor was muddy and couldnt be cleaned with the mop as the mop was so dirty and you have to pay £1 for 8 mins in the shower which we wasn’t informed of before our arrival. All the bins on the site where overflowed so rubbish was all over the field where animals could get to. Overall the site shouldn’t be open as they do not have the facilities for people. We paid for an electric pitch which was available and still not had any refund or contact about it back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: NOT AT ALL WORST EVER PLACE STAYED
Disliked: Poor quality of facilities. 1 toilet working close to tent pitches. Not enough electric hook ups. Only one shower unit for the whole camp site to use which you had to pay extra for. No running hot water to clean dishes. No freezer facilities like stated. Grass over grown so children had lots of nettle stings.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: It was functional. The two onsite portaloos were clean.
Disliked: This isn't intended as a negative review but think people should be aware of what to expect here. This campsite is basically two fields on the grounds of an industrial farm unit. There appeared to be no reception or campsite staff around. Neither field had been mowed recently. The (overflow?) field was pretty overgrown with tall grass & weeds. There was one water tap, connected for some reason to a very long hosepipe. A particular special moment was having to find the end of this hose and then fish it out of a child’s paddling pool. The child was already in the pool, which I can’t imagine meets any type of health standards for the site’s only source of clean drinking water. A large agricultural vehicle was ploughing and spraying an adjacent field on the site, backing right up to the camping field fence where children were playing. Lets hope it wasn’t spraying chemicals. On another side of the camping field is a drainage ditch with a very large partially buried concrete drainage pipe leading underground. This pipe had no type of barriers and we heard two children openly saying “lets go and play in the tunnel”. Over on the industrial unit, there was apparently a coin operated shower (which I haven’t heard of on a campsite for years). The campsite runs alongside a busy dual carriageway and is directly under the landing flight path of an airport. The industrial unit also had a lot of flood lights, lighting up their car park. These unfortunately also illuminated the entire campsite all night. You won’t see a lot of stars. It wasn’t an unpleasant experience. I’m just not sure it felt like a campsite. If you are looking to get back to nature, this probably isn't it. I also would not recommend it for a week long family holiday. If you need somewhere functional to put up a tent for one night, it would probably be fine.
