Claylands Caravan Park

Liked Lived the site, we stayed whilst we had hot weather 27deg. Location was great and you could walk to the local garage for supplies. Only tried the restaurant on the last night for ice cream but it has stunning views outside back for a nice meal.
Toilets are super clean. Probably the cleanest I have seen on a sight. They are located at the entrance which is far from the camping area when you have young kids. Can’t send kids alone or leave without taking them which was a little issue for me personally as I am a single parent camping.
Reception staff was supper friendly.
Loads to do near by.
Washing facilities for clothing was very cheap to use. £2-£3 to wash a load which is very cheap.
Books/games left within washing facilities to take if required. I took a book to read.
I would definitely go back

Disliked The noise from road and trains over night are very loud if your a light sleeper. I did use earplugs but my child can not so took him a while to eventually sleep.

Power lines also gave you electric shocks from the grass if barefoot or waring sandals as tent was pitched underneath and also makes noise. I understand a tent does not have walls so you hear this all the time. I would just advise some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Liked Sehr nette hilfsbereite Mitarbeiterinnen, sehr sauberer mit ausreichend Platz. Der Spielplatz wurde auch von meinen 12 jährigen noch ganz gut angenommen, ist aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen. In der Nähe ist ein kleiner Fluss mit einer Brücke. Wenn nicht gerade der Bulle vorm Eingang stand, sind wir dort entlang um im Nachbardorf einkaufen zu gehen, oder auf den Nicky Nock zu wandern.

Disliked Leider ist direkt über dem Campingplatz eine Stromtrasse, die immerzu knistert. Das Geräusch haben wir nachts im Zelt aber nicht gehört. Da hörten wir dafür laut und deutlich die nahegelegene M6 und die vorbeifahrenden Züge. Mit Ohrstöpsel ging es aber zu schlafen. Morgens wurden wir dann von streitenden Enten geweckt, die regelmäßig ihre Streifzüge über den Platz machen.
In der Nähe gab es nicht wirklich viel zu tun oder sehen. Wenn wir etwas unternehmen wollten, mussten wir mindestens 30 Minuten mit dem Auto fahren.

Liked Good access from M6
4 fishing ponds to choose from but I only fished in 1 of them so can't comment on them all.
Owners very helpful and friendly as were regular caravan owners on site and other tourers.
Pub on site reasonably priced, small menu, which is all you need but the breakfast was excellent.
Showers/toilets very clean. Hot showers. Pot washing area and laundrette.
Grounds very well maintained. Bins round the site emptied regularly.
Wi-fi intermittent but not a major issue.
Good playground facilities for children.
Beautiful river walk.
Nice safe, secure site

Disliked Just points to note, wasn't an issue for us but may bother others.

Other feedback mentions the pylon, not a problem for us- yes it crackles but we need electricity!!!
Frequent trains going past, soon get used to it.
Need hard ground pegs for awnings if you are on a touring pitch with gravel.
