What customers say
Fantastic, tidy site with friendly staff, spacious spots, and pretty woods. Great, modern facilities. Easy to get to attractions and walks. Some road noise and patchy WiFi noted, and local shops are a bit of a trek for some. Lots of folks want to come back!

Lots of space and the grounds…
Powered grass site
Liked Lots of space and the grounds are well kept.
The showers and loos are very good, as each is an enclosed wetroom with its own shower loo and basin.
Disliked The turn out on to the A249 is interesting in a heavy camper.

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Joe! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback and we're pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We have to agree regarding the A249; we would always advise avoiding rush hour if possible because of the heavier flow of traffic and we would advise campers also to turn left and go to the roundabout further down rather than cross the dual carriageway as in a larger camper or with a caravan on the back, you find yourself sitting there such a long time waiting.
Hope to see you again soon, The Oak View Team :)

The location was lovely and quiet,…
Powered gravel and concrete caravan site
Liked The location was lovely and quiet, there were a few other campers and motorhomes there but it wasn't over crowded at all. The facilities were very good, very modern and clean. A couple of Elsan points, a grey water disposal point, plus water outlets. Each pitch had a hook up grass or hard standing. There was a bit of noise from the nearby A road but only at rush hour. Good WIFI near reception. Would stay again.
Disliked Nothing
