Liked: The views was lovely. Location for Alton Towers
Disliked: The cleaning facilities like the shower and toilets were dirty, hair all over them nothing clean needed a good scrub. No toilet roll and one of the hand dryers was absolutely freezing.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Danielle, We like your Liked Points . But we are disappointed with the Disliked Views . - Toilet Rolls ( This is the 1st Complaint we have had but most campers have there own as well ?? ) - Hand Dryer Will be Checked tomorrow , no one else has reported it ? - Cleanliness of our Facilities , These are cleaned every day and are signed off in the Block info notice board. Unfortunately if a previous Camper has not respected them it is hard for us to follow in after every time. IF YOU Scroll back at all our previous reviews i am sure you will see the totally opposite comments to yours , Regards Team Charlies
Will definitely visit again

Liked: We loved everything. Very spacious pitches. Lovely,well kept site. Fantastic communication from Kev , infact all the team at Charlie Bassets were very helpful and friendly. The pub is an extra bonus for booking a pitch there. The food is awesome, and 'real' chips!! There was entertainment on Friday and Saturday night. The pub has a lovely atmosphere. We had a brilliant short break there. I would highly recommend a visit,we will definitely be booking again.
