Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Had a great time. Would stay again
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Easy hookup, close to toilet and showers which were always clean.
Kids really enjoyed the on site park. Little shop was well enough stocked.
Staff were very helpful and kept the place clean and tidy.
I have been here a few times now and would come back again.
Disliked We had the on site fish and chips. Other than the good portion size it was not good. Not to our taste with thick batter and felt a bit too greasy.

Good site, good location. Quiet on time and clean & tidy.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Space, park and chippy.
Disliked The showers dont have enough hooks or a bench in them, so its alittle bit of a juggle to keep things off the wet floor.
The shower block near the bar is much better. Main toilet/shower block near park

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The place was great
Me and my brother had an amazing 4 full days of great walking covering no less than 70 miles in what can only be described as
God's country...... the park had everything we needed and more so full marks
Disliked Not enough hiking paths
Us hikers don't like to walk on roads.. golden rule.....so if anybody on the local councils in the area could accommodate us hikers better we would really appreciate it after all we are working class heroes after all
