Great place for kids
Electric grass pitch (small)
Liked Great site good facilities swimming pool was good and jaks barn great for kids entertainment great play parks for kids
Recommend to friends Visit again
Probably wouldn’t return
Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Tent pitches were close to clubhouse
Good quality park
Decent sized pitches
Disliked Lack of children’s entertainment (which consisted of a DJ from 7pm that favoured playing reggae music until people requested something more relevant.
Main toilet blocks toilets were temperamental on flushing
Toilet cabins were extremely dirty
Check in was overly complicated and time consuming 10minites waiting to check in then a further 10 minutes waiting for the warden. We were given a poorly printed unclear map, and told to wait on the pitch until the warden came over to tell us where to pitch, the pitch numbers weren’t clear or obvious so we waited until the warden was done talking to other guests that had just turned up.
Wasps everywhere. Literally constantly whilst outside the tent
Extremely noisy site. People making noise and music playing until midnight. No sign of the warden. And then noise again at 6.30am with parents unable to keep their kids quiet.
The site has potential to be so much better, but just felt tired and outdated

Wouldn’t be going there again.
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Area it was situated in. Most staff friendly.
Disliked The pitch ground was thin layer of patchy grass underneath was stone or concrete almost impossible to get tent pegs into. You needed substantial tent pegs to be able to knock them into the ground

Friendly staff and has all the facilities required.
Electric grass pitch (small)
Liked Great for kids, they are able to roam and explore. The alpaca's and goats add some nice variety. Onsite takeaway and shop are great value. Entertainment is great.
Disliked Our pitch was dirty when we arrived.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Ideal for families with children. Not so much anything else
Electric grass pitch (small)
Liked Animals around the site were nice to see. (Goats/Alpacas)
The adult bar was a good idea as the kids barn was a little bit too Benidorm meets Butlins for us.
Pitches were great size- but do remember your rock pegs!
Didn’t go in pool but looked clean enough. Maybe a little regimented with the time slots.
Disliked Shower block was a little dated. Also the light in there is automatic so didn’t enjoy a shower in the dark!
Location isn’t near to anything on foot. Wem is closest town and doesn’t have a right lot going on.

Electric grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Fantastic site. Lots to do. Bar, cafe, play areas, mini golf, outdoor pool and on site shop. Plenty of toilets and shower facilities. We were located on orange field. Very busy site when we arrived but well managed. Pitches were well laid out clearly marked and numbered. Will definitely return.
Disliked Some families were not always respectful of the 11pm quiet hours letting their children run around screaming until midnight.

Overall the site was nice 1st day was crowded 2nd day more quieter
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, small)
Liked Onsite entertainment everything was clean and friendly staff the club house was great as well
Disliked Not much to do in the town centre difficult to get food after 3pm but this has nothing to do with the campsite as they have a cafe and food was available
