We felt extremely uncomfortable with the way staff and management treated us. Without any proper warning, they even called the police and asked us to leave!
As a group, we rang ahead to make sure we would be welcome, and were told to book under our group name so we could all be pitched together. When we arrived, we set up and enjoyed ourselves — yes, there was normal noise with children playing and adults chatting, but nothing unreasonable. We even had neighbouring campers join us, and everyone got along great.
At around 1am, security asked us to keep the noise down. We immediately complied and went to bed — no arguments, no issues. Meanwhile, another group nearby had open campfires (not allowed) and repeatedly ignored staff telling them to put them out.
The next morning, management told us we had to leave, while the group with the fires were allowed to stay. None of our neighbouring campers had complained about us, and several even said it was ridiculous. We refused to leave and the police were called. In the end, the police actually supported us, and staff had to let us stay.
The whole experience left us feeling unwelcome and unfairly targeted. Staff were rude and unprofessional. I’ve been coming here since I was a child and sadly, under the new management, the atmosphere has been completely ruined. The pub owner and his family remain as lovely and friendly as ever, but the management of the campsite itself has destroyed what used to be a wonderful place. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
