From the manager: Bryan, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The hardstanding areas are quite narrow, but wide enough to facilitate most caravans and motorhomes. We like to keep as much green/grassy areas as possible. We hope to welcome you on site again in the future.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Friendly check in. Proximity to footpath. Good size amenity block with toilets, washing up facilities.
Disliked: Play equipment not installed correctly so 4yo wasnt big enough to use it. Very sure some were smoking weed but noone around to resolve. Wasn't too busy but if it was, ot wpuld have felt very crammed in. Not enough privacy vegetation. Female toilets very unclean! Barrier came down on top of van whilst entering. Recommend you go through quickly! Shame no way of getting straight onto footpath.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We ensure we clean our facilities to a high standard on a daily basis. We will do more regular checks on this in the future. Play equipment has all been installed correctly and refurbished. The slide ladder is quite high to prevent smaller children climbing unsupervised. The barrier will come down but only if the laser beam is broken which can sometimes happen if a pedestrian enters through the barrier before the vehicle. The signs direct all pedestrians to the left of the barriers. Finally if someone is found to be smoking weed it is most definitely not something we condone. We are very sorry you were unable to locate us whilst you were here to chat through your concerns and we will address the issues you have raised on the review.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Site was easy to find, the pitches were level and the wardens were helpful
Disliked: No mop or bucket in the shower area so had to wear flip flops as was muddy, most places we have stayed at have the option to clean after you for other people to use, should have option for wash basins with doors as wasn’t keen on washing with people walking in the toilet area, needs more showers as not enough to cope with high volume of campers children allowed to play with rubber footballs around the pitches had to say to the children to mind my camper. Last time I camped here was 10 years ago, had it updated its facilities no still out dated and yet charging premium prices

From the manager: Hi, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We do try to keep our facilities as clean as possible, we will always revisit during the day if it is bought to our attention that extra cleaning is required. We do have a private disabled and family room which you could have used if you felt uncomfortable in the communal area. We would always ask our guests to chat to us if you were having any issues and we would resolve them as best we can whilst you are with us. The site has recently changed ownership and aspects of the park are being refurbished at present. Hopefully should you visit us again in the future you will notice the changes.
