Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: I received a very warm welcome and good advice about the best pitch for a quieter night even though I was a bit early. When I explained that I was working from the camper the next morning, I was told that there was no hurry to leave as it was quiet.

Liked: The park is kept tidy with a good play area for the children. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Traffic noise is a problem. The toilet and shower blocks could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The pot wash sinks needed unblocking, also.

From the manager: Thank you Michael for your review :) we appreciate your input although we do advertise that we are near the A12 slip road which gives easy access to many different places. Our toilet and shower blocks are dated but are kept very clean by our friendly staff who I am sure quickly unblocked the pot wash sink as soon as you reported it. Happy camping :)

Liked: Lovely well maintained site. Perfect for families. Plenty of toilet facilities.
Disliked: A12 is noisy but you don't hear it after night one. It would be good if the lamps around the campsite could be turned off or down late at night. They make the whole tent illuminated throughout the night.
