Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Great location for my needs (Silverstone racetrack). Nice plot, quite and excellent price! Friendly welcome and I’ll definitely come back.
Disliked: Some of the field was a little overgrown spiked weeds but honestly this didn’t bother me, it may bother others (small kids for sure) but this isn’t really a dislike, more a suggestion just to try and keep the field mowed I guess.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Nice site with good ground for pitching a tent, lovely owner who answered my questions promptly and friendly.
Disliked: One toilet so was busy for the site and two outdoor shower cubicles one indoor porta shower. This wasnt a huge issue but more toilets and indoor or porta showers would be better.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Three showers and one working fully flushing toilet. Large cold water sink/water point.
Used two of them, one lovely warm and with hooks others were more exposed and no hooks to hang things from to keep drier.
In a nice spot for what we wanted near by (within 30 mins drive)
Liked the fact offered rubbish disposal area and recycling area to encourage recycling.
Clean facilities and regularly kept clean and stocked with toilet paper etc.
Disliked: Only one toilet which at times meant had to queue and with small children sometimes desperate to go not ideal.
Only cold water to wash dishes with. But can boil up so minor point.
Only hooks on one shower for hanging towels etc from.
