Liked Lovely view and good location for the hike

Disliked Prime example of classism. If you can afford a campervan then you are golden. Campervans and cars with tent boxes were allowed to set up camp like normal but people in tents had to park in a completely different field and then walk everything over to set up camp "due to rain" considering camp is in the exact same field that all the other vehicles were allowed to be in, makes no sense. They were more concerned about the campers turning up the next day over the ones they currently had. We had 2 dogs with us so our options were to leave our dogs in the car in a completely different field while setting up camp or put up a tent in the wind while holding 2 leads. It didnt rain all of Friday so everyone parked next to their tents because everything had dried up, they came round asking everyone to go park there cars in the other car park because of the early morning rain forecast. They said they didnt want us to ruin the entrance for the campers the next day. We said we were leaving early in the morning but that still wasn't ok. Theres multiple campers and cars with tent box's but the few people with tents are considered too much for the ground to handle. (baring in mind it was actually more of a struggle to get in the carpark due to the "muddy damage" from the countless hikers of the day then it was getting in the campsite) You could argue that if the tent goers have to park in the car park and walk over then the campers should have to park in there too. This solution to "entrance damage" or "lack of planning on their part" as they called it surely only works if the majority are people in tents which isnt the case. Shouldn't be 1 rule for one and 1 for another. Shame because the views are stunning.

From the manager: I’m sorry to read your review and that you feel this way. Unfortunately during a period of excessive rain we had to take measures to ensure that we could remain open and not have to cancel holidays. We decided to take the decision to allow campervans and rooftents on the site so that everyone then had the ability to camp on the main site. This was the only way to allow this. Unfortunately I do not have prior information from pitch up as to how many pitches are tents and how many are campervans or tent boxes. Usually we have majority of tents on site and a handful of the other.
