What customers say
A big, lovely park with great bush and river walks, a hit with families. Staff are friendly, facilities (including baths) are clean, and the on-site bakery is a bonus. Some found toilets a bit dated, with occasional cleanliness and noise issues. Caravan spots can be tight or lumpy, and Wi-Fi's patchy. No more food at the pub.

Overall we had a lovely stay and enjoyed our time.
Anonymous Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The surrounding river and walks, the games room for the kids, the park areas.
The toilet and shower facilities, while they arnt new and perfectly clean at all times they are nowhere near as bad as some reviews make out, they where definitely clean enough and fine to use throughout our whole trip.
Disliked The loud rowdy group of famies who played music till midnight shouting basically loudly partying on our first night, once they left it was lovely. We wouldnt of minded as much if it was expected but the strict no music and quiet policy we expected a quiet peaceful site. Very small tent pitches meant i felt like we where sharing a tent with four other families we could hear everything from their tents.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Quiet site from traffic, lovely setting in the trees and woodlands. Beautiful little river running by the side of the site. Nice pub with good food and friendly staff.
Disliked Toilets and shower blocks need cleaning and updating. Broken toilet seats and graffiti all over the toilet doors. Standard of cleanliness not brilliant but acceptable

Really nice site and we’d be happy to come back
Powered grass and gravel caravan site (super)
Liked The location was lovely and we really loved spending time by the river on the hot days. Good pitch with the electric and water hook up very close.
Friendly staff upon arrival and in the bar etc
Disliked The toilet block whilst clean, had issues with the showers. 3 of the cubicles were out of use and the day before we left all of them were out of action.
Also several of the lights didn’t work so was quite dingy, wouldn’t want to be taking a shower at night!
Also felt quite compacted in with lots of other people and was pretty noisy at times. Didn’t affect us in the caravan but friends we came with who were in a tent said a couple of nights others were playing music after midnight and laughing etc until the early hours.
Lack of wifi is also and issue and we chose not to buy it because the price was ridiculously high

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Shaded which was great for getting to sleep. Parks are lovely
Disliked Parents not looking after their children and were unsupervised, ended up in fights and little children having to leave. Toilets and washrooms were not the nicest with no code to get in so open to everyone.
