What customers say
A welcoming, well-situated park with roomy, serviced sites. Staff, especially Warden Gordon, get high marks for helpfulness. Upgrades are underway, so some dated facilities are limited but clean. Expect occasional construction. A quiet spot for exploring, with great transit.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















I would definitely recommend this site to my friends and family
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The pitch was an ideal size with water an electric on hand the area was really cared for. The warden Gordon was very helpful as I was having trouble with my water pipe he helped by telling me what the best connectors to get and helped me to make sure my caravan was level on pitch.
Disliked Toilet block could do with an upgrade ( but is still usable and clean and tidy)

Liked Lovely place, will be even better when all the renovations are done. The warden in the 1st motorhome is a pleasant very helpful man. Train station 15 mins walk abd only 2 stops to the metrocentre.

Should be much better when all works are finished
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Good sized fully serviced pitches. A good location being just a short walk to Ovingham where there is a great pub.
Very friendly and helpful warden on site.
We would stay here again once all works are finished and proposed new toilet block is completed.
Disliked Very poor washroom facilities, very old and weren’t clean (although on the day we left they had been cleaned). But I understand that new facilities block is planned for the future. Also the pitches are directly opposite a building site where they are installing new statics - we weren’t informed of this. We couldn’t find any direct telephone number to contact the site, there is only a central company number where the staff aren’t familiar with the site.
