What customers say
A peaceful, roomy site with great staff, especially Colin. Lovely lake, plenty of fish, and tidy grounds. Facilities are basic but clean and functional. Some nettles and pub noise, but many plan to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Would not return as a lot of TLC required all round.
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked The way out.
Disliked State of toilets and shower room, was told it was clean ( not sure they understand what clean means). Toilet door falling apart and interior light not functioning correctly. Chemical toilet disposal filthy. Separation of pitches not adhered to, people trying to pitch tent alongside our camper with less than 1 metre gap. No rescue equipment by fishing pool where children can and will play around there. IN THIS MOERN CAREFREE WORLD WE LIVE IN IS IT POSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY STAY ON A SITE WHERE YOU DONT HAVE TO BREATHE IN WACKY BACKY ALL DAY LONG

Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Check in was easy and nice level grass pitches grass is cut regularly
Disliked Only 2 toilets & 2 showers really run down and dirty,shower cubicles covered in black mildew,the only cleaning of them we saw over the 5 days was by the campers,
Chemical toilet disposal is filthy enough to make you balk,
If you are going to fish don’t bother taking rods you just need a net the fish are fighting to get out in fact if you hook one you will get loads in your net

Small site friendly host
Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Clean facilities. Friendly host
Disliked People playing football near my tent. Loads of bugs. Two sets of shower/toilet. Kids walking by my tent. Small site. Lake doesn’t offer much in terms of views. Small site

From the manager: Sorry about the bugs! It is part and parcel of being in the countryside. Suggest you set up camp in a city center car park next time.
We advertise as a SMALL family run site. A SMALL site. Just to put your emphasis on my response.
You had people AND kids (I have children,not kids) going past your tent. Best way to stop that is to book up the whole site .
In what way, exactly, did the lake view disappoint you? Could you not see it?!? Probably so busy looking for faults that you didn't see the fish, other people enjoying themselves, the natural surroundings.
We advertise as a small, family run, site.
Not sure you're ever going to enjoy not sleeping in a bed.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
Really enjoyed our stay on this site.

Great little campsite
Electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked This site is surrounded by mature trees, with lots of space. It was only about 1/4 full, despite it being summer school holidays. So it was nice to have space. We weren’t on top of the other visitors.
The campsite was tidy. No litter in sight and you could tell it was well maintained and cared for.
No insects in the bathrooms (big bonus!) and an attractively styled bathroom too.
The toilet paper didn’t run out - it was well stocked.
There are many, many electric hook-up points. It’s very well equipped.
It’s a great campsite and overall we’d give it 8/10 stars.
Disliked To get to a 10/10 stars, it’s the little things that are need attention. E.g
*Clearing the stinging nettles around the plug points and water point.
* Deep cleaning the bathrooms so that the lime scale buildup and black mould on the grouting is gone and the holes in the wall are filled.
* There are only 2 toilets / showers. We rarely had to wait over this weekend, but the site was fairly empty. If the site was full I worry it wouldn’t be enough.
* Do be aware that there is a pub near by, that on summer Saturday evenings, does live music in the garden. It was great quality music and fun to listen to but it wasn’t the quiet country ambiance we had expected.
