What customers say
This campsite offers plenty of space and a laid-back vibe, with many guests loving the freedom to pick their spot and enjoy the river. Facilities are usually clean and sufficient. Staff are often called friendly and helpful. While some mention loud neighbors or a trek to amenities from certain areas, better showers and clearer signs are suggested improvements. Great for a spacious outdoor getaway.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Easy check in and no check out. Loads of space. I liked the ability to pitch where ever i wanted. I forgot the matches at home and the receptionist gave us a small box for free, which i really appreciated.
Disliked I think if it was busier then another toilet block would be needed in the other fields.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Riverside fishing was great as was the paddle boarding on site. Lots of camping space in the non serviced pitches, would be great for large camping groups. Toilet block was clean and the staff were very nice.
Disliked The campsite was a little run down with a lot of rubbish everywhere, part of the site seems to be used as a storage facility for buses and lorries, quite a few lived in static caravans. There is only one toilet block for a large site and people were having to drive across site to use it so there were a lot of vehicles driving around.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked We went non electric field and I liked the fact you can choose which field u want to go on and pitch up where u want, the kids was jumping in the river of a swing someone had made on a tree, walks in the forest, 10minute drive to Asda which I found very handy, staff was very welcoming at the reception. Would 100% come back in the future.

Wholesome family weekend
Powered grass campsite
Liked Plenty of open fields for the kids to play - we brought our own cricket, football & Frisbee for their entertainment.
Plenty of water points on field C.
The river was easily accessible by walking through the toilet block field and the field beyond that - kids loved their swim in the river & using the rope swings.
Toilets and showers were clean when I visited. They were continuously cleaned 7am-7pm throughout our bank holiday stay - the cleaning lady was always lovely. Outside of those hours there was muddy footprints which was to be expected considering the down pours we had!
Was a nice touch that a lady on a golf buggy alerted us that we could use fires again on the Saturday (although we didn't)
Disliked The weather - typical bank holiday (LOL!)
