What customers say
Seaside views, friendly staff, and clean facilities are highlights at this park. Dog-friendly walks and spacious pitches make for a great getaway. Wi-Fi a bit hit-and-miss, but people still keen to return.

Disliked Noise from shotguns and difficult exit back towards m25
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review Karen. We are pleased you liked the site and us.
We accept that we have to take the rough with the smooth but we must admit we are at a loss as to why you have marked the review down because of difficulty at an exit back to the M25. The shotguns are clay pigeon shooting which is no where near the park and only happens once in a while.
Can we please ask our customers again, when writing us a review, can they please only leave comments about the service they received and opinions of the park. These things are totally out of our control. Every time a customer marks us down for something like this, our average percentages drop and it takes an awful lot of 10/10's to get back where we were. We can't control the M25, planes flying over, the nearby road or the weather. We ask again, please do research before booking.
The Oak View Team. 😊

Electric grass pitch
Liked Thank you so much for an idyllic camping holiday! We had such a lovely welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our time together with our 4, 7 and 10 year old.
We loved our spot between the trees. Great facilities and beautiful surroundings. Peaceful evenings for stargazing too.Hope to come back soon.
Thank you from all of us. :)

Electric grass pitch
Liked Pretty surroundings, not too busy, lots of space between pitches, good washing up areas, easy access/entry, lots of things to see in the nearby area
Disliked Toilets/showers quite basic, proximity to motorway meant traffic could be heard throughout the night

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review Kate. We are pleased that you did have a list of likes , but sad that you had so many dislikes.
Most customers really like our showers and toilets and find them to be very modern. We would not be able to put up shelves on the toilet walls as this would stop them from being water tight as they are in one moulded sheet. This would also be a hazard and customers would be hitting their heads. We have to keep them simple for health and safety reasons. The plastic stools are for less able bodied customers to sit on.
Unfortunately, we can't move the road, and as we say on lots of our other reviews, we ask our customers to research where they are going, eg: proximity to roads etc before they book so that we don't get marked down for things that are out of our control.
The Oak View Team. 😊

highly recommended
Electric grass pitch
Liked open space,free use of showers,host in reception very good feeling from her, walking in woods
Disliked not being able to keep car on pitch,but ended up liking that,no shop,no pub.but town not far, black horse pub 0,9 drive away ,no fires,camp fires even wood on bbq
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review Frank. That is very kind of you to say. 😊
We are not a big site and so we do not have the room for all of our customers to keep their cars on the grass pitches (customers with hardstanding may do if it fits) and it is also for the safety of your vehicle with lots of kids with footballs about. We need to keep what space we do have for the children to play. No one wants to look out of their tent at someone else's car.
Again, we ask our customers to do their research to see what we have on site.
As for fires, ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is our one big rule which is clearly stated on our PitchUp listing. This time of year, with no rain and everything bone dry, it would be total madness. We also have protected trees and young children on the park. Our customers are allowed a barbecue if gas, electric or charcoal and we advise keeping a bottle of water next to charcoal ones to be safe.
Having said all that, we would love to see you again sometime. The Oak View Team. 😊

Electric grass pitch
Liked Small, spacious site. Very peaceful. Woods to walk in and open ground next to it.
Very hot when we went, but we were allocated a lovely spot under trees…a large plot.
Showers, toilets and washing areas cannot be faulted and looked very new.
A few family groups, was school holidays, but still quiet. Everyone very friendly from our fellow campers to the lovely friendly lady in the office, who welcomed
us.
Good to find a site like this that is only 40/45 mins away. So easy for a quick relaxing weekend without the travel.

We have a lot of customers that stay regularly which is lovely as we get to know you all We really would love to see you again! The Oak View Team.
