What customers say
Spacious fields, great river access for water fun. Facilities clean, staff friendly. Some electric pitches are a bit cosy, and facilities can get busy. Great country walks nearby.

Liked Big open space toilets were clean
Disliked Nothing for children on the actual campsite no play area etc and the toilets were a good 5 minute walk from the pitch we were on not great if you need the loo in the night as there was also no lighting leading to them.

Lots of great space
Unpowered grass site
Liked Only did a solo camp for one night passing through but I thought there was lots of space with 3 big fields and seemed easygoing on fires etc. Toilets were really well kept and the vibe in the field I was in was really good. People playing music and enjoying themselves.
Disliked The guy at camp reception could have been friendlier. Not exactly service with a smile.

Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Pitch was great, lovely views, electric and water and clean toilet/shower facilities. The owners were friendly and helpful, came out to see me when I didn’t know how to use the electric (newbie hehe).
The locals were friendly and my kids made friends. We really enjoyed the boot fair in the morning and my kid got the squishy dumplings they were after.
It was a lovely atmosphere and we liked it so much we booked to go back again this weekend. The lady in the reception was kind enough to squeeze us in last minute during the bank holiday weekend. We were made to feel very welcome and looking forward to our return.
Disliked Nothing. Top class site
