What customers say
Great site, friendly staff, lots for families. Spacious pitches, but facilities get mixed reviews (cleanliness, water pressure issues). Can be busy/noisy. Some felt it was pricey with activity fees. Many would still recommend and return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great place and would recommend for Families. Will go again.
Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The amount of activities.
Huge place with a lot of people but was still always able to get a table in the club no matter what time we went in.
Thunderbird chicken was great. We went there every night after clubhouse. This is by far better than any KFC you have ever tried
Disliked We had a woman on our next pitch with 6 teenage kids. She was in caravan and kids were in a tent. Screaming swearing and general messing around till early hours Every night. I phoned up to see if we could move pitch or even upgrade. I was told all the pitches were fully booked. I tried to upgrade to the star pitches (fully serviced). And again was told the same. Yet For the rest of our stay there was 3 star pitches empty and quite a few pitches available in the ehu paddocks where we were. I guess they just didn't want to do the paperwork.
Electric bikes and e scooters are everywhere whizzing passed you.

Liked Lovely place, really nice friendly staff, good entertainment lots to do, site nice and clean.
Disliked Showers not the best, nothing in cubicle to put toiletries, towels or clothes on and showers not powerful. No bins for dog waste. There was also campers who had a nasty cannabis habit the smell was awful.

Very disappointed
Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The blue coat lady entertainer was an amazing singer
Disliked The pitch cost £60 to use between 2pm and 10 am.. not even 24 hours. If you wanted to arrive at 11am it would cost a further £15. .. that would make it £75 for still not even a day. The pitch was littered with fag buts and a rotten watermelon. This would indicate that no people had gone in there to clean from the previous campers and it's just a way of getting more money from you.

Dissapointed
Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lots of activities but disliked having to pay for everything! . Food was reasonable suprisingly, and you can take dogs in certain areas which is helpful. People friendly.
Disliked Lack of signage re speed No mops in showers. Water everwhere. Lots of kids unsupervised on bikes but having fun. Showers cold. Push button to save water but no plugs to wash up so lots of water wasted! Charge of £5 for a plug? Health and safety aspects. Road had big cracks and holes. Surprised no kids were injured. Staff were friendly except for booking in was appalling talked over. Twice. Told could not sleep in awning after paying extra which was disputed then given a pitch no 1 right by barrier which isnt a proper pitch so my husband said we needed to be moved. Don't like not able to get onto a pitch until 2pm half the day gone which you have paid for! Off by 10 am???. Expensive for what it is.

Avoid this place, there's others so much better around the area
Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nothing!
Disliked Grass pitches are grassless with hardcore which means pegs are unable to enter the ground, even extra toughed pegs.
Woof park is derelict and broken which means your dog isn't able to use it (see photos)
If you're allocated pitch 1, do not take it otherwise you'll be back to complain and be moved. Don't try phoning them because they don't answer, staff are just having a laugh and ignoring customers.

Holton 2 bedroom safari tent
Liked Liked the layout of the large campsite, easy to find and access our glampsite pitch.
Highly recommend the glamping option we had. Very good value for money.
Excellent service from the staff.
Good facilities.
Location close to shops and beaches.
Disliked Didn't like the scampi on the menu for the price of it. It was no better than what you would get from the frozen section in Aldi up the road.
The T.V didn't connect with the WiFi. So we had to hot-spot netflix etc. using our phone.

Good site let down by toilet/shower facilities for tourers
Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly site with lots of useful facilities like shop bar cafe chip shop etc
bus stop right outside
Disliked Showers and toilets in the block closest to the touring park entrance were poorly maintained although acceptably clean examples of this are sometimes there was no hot water the shower heads were blocked up and hadnt been serviced in ages which can cause legionela to breed which can be dangerous not to mention a poor shower , some of the toilet cysterns were overflowing wasting water , the chemical disposal was blocked and poo was all over the floor , the urinal is rusty yet I discovered one of the other toilet blocks as I was leaving and it was in much better condition I tried to phone reception and they hung up on me
