Would highly recommend this family friendly site.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked Spacious bottom field. Pitch tent where you want in designated fields. Cleanliness of facilities, bar area and grounds. Portaloos available in bottom field. Mega usefully stocked shop that has everything at reasonable prices. Canny evening entertainment that didn't go on too late. Pool available that kids liked. Info/shop/pool open long hours. Staff friendly. Quality fish n chips, breakfast and evening hot food available. Decent playpark that kids liked.

From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review, Alex.
We are really pleased to hear you would highly recommend Crows Nest and found the overflow field spacious and family friendly.
It is lovely to know you found the facilities, bar area and grounds clean, and that the shop, swimming pool, play park, entertainment and food options all added to your stay.
We are glad the staff were friendly and that the fish and chips, breakfast and evening food were all enjoyed too.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We had a fantastic stay at the campsite and overall, everything was amazing. The facilities were great, and it was particularly well suited to families with children. There was plenty to keep the kids entertained, and we really enjoyed our time here. The campsite itself had a lovely atmosphere, and we would definitely consider returning.
Disliked Unfortunately, the toilets were a real let-down and didn’t match the standard of the rest of the campsite. The floors were often extremely dirty and covered in water and mud, particularly in the family toilet areas. There didn’t appear to be any tools available for campers to wipe up water themselves, such as floor brushes or squeegees. I appreciate that some of the mess is caused by a lack of consideration from certain campers, but having cleaning tools available would make it much easier for people to leave the facilities clean for the next person. During busy periods, I also feel that the toilets would benefit from more frequent cleaning sessions. With improved cleaning and a few simple measures to help campers keep the floors tidy, the facilities would be much better.

Overflow site is ok for short break
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked They did provide toilets and bins for your waste, and we were able to pitch together
As we were on the overflow site.
Disliked Unfortunately the showers and pot washing, were on the site near the caravans which was quite a distant away on the other side of the site., and only 3 of them.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We are pleased to hear you were able to pitch together and that the overflow field provided toilets and waste bins for your stay.
The overflow field is used during very busy periods when the main camping areas are already full. From your review, it sounds like this may have been a last minute booking, and booking earlier would usually give more choice of pitch types and locations.
The overflow field is not made up of designated pitches, so guests choose where to pitch within the available space. This also means the distance to the main toilet, shower and pot washing facilities is partly chosen by the guest depending on where they decide to set up.
Thank you for your feedback.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Freedom to select our own pitch, Nice clean facilities, frequently cleaned several times daily. Pub, pool arcade, play park, dog park, good for small kids. Teen harder to entertain, but park had wifi close to main buildings, and area had good phone reception, so no real issues with getting them connected. Washup area, was brilliant, no queue, which always puts a smile on my face personally.
Disliked Visitors with dogs off leads, We have a Cane Corso, Well behaved, family loving dog. We always, Always! have a lead on him outdoors, not because he's dangerous to people in any way, but because he wants to play with other dogs. Other owners get frightened at the pure size of him, over react and panic. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KEEP ALL DOGS ON A LEAD. It's not fair that our dog was forced to spend most of his holiday, in our tent.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Charel.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the freedom to choose your own pitch, and that you found the facilities clean and regularly maintained. It is great to know the pub, pool, arcade, play park, dog park and wash up area all added to your stay.
We completely agree with your comments regarding dogs being kept on leads. All dogs must be kept on a lead around the park for the safety and comfort of all guests and other dogs. Even friendly dogs can worry other guests or animals when they are off lead, so this rule is important and applies to everyone.
We are sorry this affected your stay with your own dog, especially when you were doing the right thing by keeping him on a lead. We will continue to remind guests of this rule and ask that anyone seeing dogs off lead reports it to the team at the time so we can deal with it directly.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Crows Nest again.
