What customers say
This small, quiet site has friendly, helpful management and spacious, level pitches. While guests loved the warm welcome, the toilet/shower facilities were criticized as unusable and run-down. The on-site pub is closed. Upgrades are in progress.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Very good site to commute to villages around.

A good spot for a stop over. We would use the site again.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked The welcome from Callum was friendly and helpful.
The pitch was fine... grass, close to the electric hook-up and fairly close to the fresh water supply.
In fairness, this was only our second night ever in a motorhome so we didn't look for grey water or toilet disposal.
Dog friendly with a large area to let her run on a long lead.
Disliked The toilet/shower facilities were fine but, as we found throughout our first ever trip away in a motorhome, like a good proportion of campsites, they were a little tired.
The toilets were OK but we opted to shower in the vehicle.

Basic amenities but friendly owners
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Friendliness of owners. Flat pitch. Hot shower.
Disliked This was one of the cheapest in the area at £25 for non-electric grass pitch of a campervan. A sign said they have new owners and are remodelling. Owners were really friendly but the amenities here are not finished. The shower / toilet block was in need of repair and not clean. It had broken locks / taps etc and bags of cement and other building equipment left in there. Shower was hot.
The washing up area is still breeze blocks and not apparently being rushed to build. Chemical disposal a manhole in the ground which you need to pull off to access a hole. There are bins and a water tap near camping area. It's right next to a 60mph road, so there was quite a bit of traffic noise.
While I did manage to empty my loo, fill up water and get a shower (which are my basic requirements), I cannot say it was a pleasant experience. I do feel they should lower their prices and be upfront that they are renovating. There was only one other van there. If they charged £15, then people would pay this for the convenience of an overnight service and they could even charge £10 for vans to use the facilities without staying. The loos need a really good clean and tidy up. They do have hook-up for those who need it.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Level pitch, not many tourers. Plenty of hot water in shower.
Disliked The pub is permanently closed. The toilets and showers described as ‘modern’ really were not. My husband said there wasn’t even a hook to hang your clothes or towel in the mens. Not the cleanest. Wear your crocs to shower. It was right on a busy main road. Fields surrounding had masses of litter all along the perimeter.

A stopover if you need a location to park your van.

Liked Whilst the gentleman who supported and welcomed us was pleasant and we were able to be self sufficient (own toilet, shower, cooking facilities) the toilets, showers were incredibly unclean, run down and absolutely unusable.
