What customers say
This well-run, spotless campsite boasts friendly, helpful staff, roomy spots, and a charming woodland setting. Guests rave about the clean, modern showers and restrooms. Easy access to local sights and trails is a plus. A few noted road noise and spotty Wi-Fi, with some finding local shops a hike. Highly recommended, many plan to return.

Ok stay for 1 night
Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly receptionist, fantastic size pitch, peaceful site.Well maintained pitches and grass areas.
Disliked No water on pitch, we were in a motorhome with only on-board water tank and waste water tank, had to drive to water point. OK for 1 night but a faff if staying longer as would have to keep moving to fill up. The waste water was in same place, no grate for emptying a mototorhome waste tank directly, could only be done if had buckets etc to drain tank into then pour away, we ended up emptying at home.
Hubby went to use the shower and it was locked, someone was in there, considering the amount of pitches if they only have 1 male and 1 female shower and toilet that is not enough.
For £30 for 1 night it seemed excessively expensive for what it was with no water or grey waste on the pitch

From the manager: Whilst we're happy to hear that you found the site peaceful and our team friendly, we are very disappointed that you felt your stay warranted such a low score.
With regards to the points made; we do not advertise that we have service pitches, and photos of our campsite clearly show that we do not have service pitches and instead have service points dotted around the park. We always advise that campers do their own research when booking campsites, to avoid booking somewhere that does not meet their needs. We do however have a grey waste point for motorhomes to use. Our service points have fresh drinking water & a chemical toilet disposal point on each but there is a separate drainage point for motorhomes. All information is given at check in but we understand it can be a lot of info to take in and remember, however our reception is open from 9am every day and our team are on hand to give you any info you need; as it so happens the drainage point was opposite your pitch. With regards to the showers, we have 2 female showers and 2 male showers in use throughout the winter, as well as a disabled toilet/shower, for campers to use. As well as the 2 shower rooms in each, we also have 2 separate toilet cubicles in each block. This has always been an ample amount throughout the winter, and in the summer we have extra facilities, but unfortunately we can't control when other campers decide to use the facilities. If you have a look at campsites in the area, offering similar facilities to we do, you will find we are competitively priced however we do appreciate that everyone's budgets are different. We wish you safe travels in the future, The Oak View Team.

Lovely site, friendly staff with clean facilities.
Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely welcome, nice quiet site. This is our 5th time staying here. It's only 20 mins from home but ideal place to just get away from stresses of daily life and just relax. Toilets/washing up room clean and warm. Nice walk in private woods. Pitch black at night, so nice to see stars. Always feel refreshed when we leave.
Disliked Going home.

Liked We only stayed one night, but loved it and will definitely return.
There was something really calming and magical about the setting, primarily because of the beautiful trees at this time.
Also very clean; a handy woodland stroll for the dog and very friendly staff.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for this review Chris.
The trees have been particularly beautiful this year, to do with the dry summer that we have had apparently. The colours have been amazing. It is a pretty park all year round, when it snows its like Narnia, beautiful.
We would really love to see you again soon. The Oak View Team. 😊
