What customers say
This spacious, scenic park offers lovely woodland and river walks, a hit with families. Visitors liked the friendly staff, spotless facilities (incl. baths), and the bakery. Some reviews note dated restrooms, spotty cleanliness, and noise. Touring spots can be tight/uneven, and Wi-Fi is unreliable. The pub no longer serves food.

Liked Quiet site from traffic, lovely setting in the trees and woodlands. Beautiful little river running by the side of the site. Nice pub with good food and friendly staff.

Liked Shaded which was great for getting to sleep. Parks are lovely
Disliked Parents not looking after their children and were unsupervised, ended up in fights and little children having to leave. Toilets and washrooms were not the nicest with no code to get in so open to everyone.

Anonymous Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great location. Very chilled out site (until the last night). Pub was lovely and it was cheap for drinks. Shower blocks outdated but were clean. Plenty of taps around for drinking water.
Disliked Supposed to be a quiet site but on the last night a huge group were playing music until 3am, singing and shouting. I believe some one did make a complaint but the man only came round in the morning to tell people. Obviously not the owners fault but maybe the T&Cs need to be repeated on arrival.
