Liked: Very clean campsite. Lovely facilities, e.g. clean toilets and showers and a sharing fridge/sink area. The manager who lives on site is very friendly and gets to know everyone who enters the site, nothing is too much trouble.
Disliked: Could do with a bit more of a play area for children (There are 3 swings off a tree.)

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked: The quiet setting of fields all around and the village up the road. The road itself wasn’t too noisy or busy.
Nice flat pitches that seemed to drain well during the rains we had.
Bird song, big skies and dark nights.
The hot water was hot and consistent in the showers and washing up area.
The toaster, microwave and fridge freezer were a lovely touch in the washing up room.
Toilets and showers were basic but clean and there was always loo roll.
Martin was really friendly and helpful when we arrived. His dog, Luca, also helped welcome us with a waggy tail.
The electricity supply was consistent and reliable.
The site felt safe.
Disliked: The toilet and shower block is in real need of modernising. We would even go as far as to say it needs completely replacing. The shower stalls were small with no room to put your kit so that it didn’t get wet. Not all the doors closed properly or even locked.
There were three toilets and four showers in each section for the whole site. It wasn’t enough. Even the gents was queueing at 8 in the morning. We stayed for a long weekend and it was already struggling to cope with the footfall. We couldn’t imagine what it will be like in the summer holidays. Only two sinks in each block to wash hands, clean teeth etc with limited space to move past people made it a very cramped experience and again people were queuing just to wash their hands after using the toilet.
Over two days we watched close to 80 pitches check in. It felt very ad hoc and cramped although we were told which way we had to pitch our tents and park our cars - we watched some people being asked to re-orientate themselves as they were pitching! Hopefully with the cash that was taken in over those two days for those 80 pitches it can go towards improving the toilet and shower facilities.
The site staff bickered and argued between themselves in front of customers.
Noise wasn’t managed on site. One night it finally stopped at 3am.
Dogs were not on leads.
Be aware there is no on site shop.
