What customers say
A lovely, calm spot with plenty of space, ideal for dogs, near pubs. Facilities are spotless, with fire pits a bonus. Hosts are grand, but a few planes overhead.

A great site for a relaxing evening by the fire.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The site was relaxing & peaceful. Firepits available and plenty of level or slightly sloping areas with freedom to choose where to pitch. Plenty of shelter from trees & hedges and some wide open spaces too. Hot water, washing up area, toilets & showers all clean & quite adequate and a central seating area. Easy footpath access for dog walking & a short walk to the pub and a big map on the wall to show how to access local amenities. I was there midweek, but it looks like there are more facilities available at the weekends such as a pizza van & pop up coffee. No warden available when I arrived, but I had a call from Loveabell before I arrived, so knew what to do.
Disliked Nothing. this is a great site, but I'd like it better if everyone cleaned the sink of food scraps after washing up as requested. They had even supplied bins for food waste.

Nice site ruined due to the aircraft noise so late into the evening.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Large pitches, plenty of room. In 4 days I heard the noise of traffic twice, a noisy motorbike about 5pm but apart from that very quiet. Showers were adequate, plenty of room so I could use my stool in them which I need due to bad leg. Toilets where clean and a covered washing up area.
Disliked Rubbish bins too far down the track and aircraft noise at night up until about 1am.

From the manager: I'm sorry you found your stay at Kitts so bad that you gave such a low rating. We cannot do anything about the planes, but we don't tend to get any complaints about them usually. The bins are down the track because Biffa cannot get any closer and also we don't want to encourage rats near the actual camping area. It is a 2 minute walk from our washrooms and can easily be accessed when you exit the site in your vehicle.
Please can you let me know why the customer service was 1/10? It would really help us to understand how we can improve?

Lovely family friendly campsite with pubs within a short walk
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly welcome, clean showers & toilets. We really enjoyed walking to the local pub through the woods. Loved the pizza truck that came to site on the Friday night - great idea! We also had a good experience at the local brewery which was also within walking distance.
Disliked Just a minor thing but there was no grill for cooking food on the fire pit. As disposable bbqs are not allowed I expected these to be provided.
