What customers say
A top-rated, friendly, and well-kept spot with helpful staff like James. Enjoy peace, country views, and convenience near a Co-op, pub, and takeaways. Clean, spacious, dog-friendly pitches, perfect for short stays, though showers are absent and cash preferred.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly and helpful staff on site, asked what facilities we would like upon arrival and guided us to the pitch. Lovely views over the countryside. Nice and quiet and had a good night sleep. Coop just outside the site and a nice pub just 2 minutes walk away.
Disliked Electric hookup is on a meter with a minimum £5 top up, we only stayed for one night so didn't use most of the credit applied.

Great for motorhomes with own shower and loo as only one toilet.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked This was a Certified Location (which I booked through Pitch Up online and paid a £3.75 deposit) recommended to me for a one night stay on my halfway point to the Lake District. James Harvey gave me a warm welcome and said if I needed help, to call at his caravan. Chris walked me driving my campervan over to my pitch and connected my hook up cable. The site itself was lovely and not crowded. There was an area to walk my dog.
Disliked Janme's Harvey did not have a card reader for me to pay him the balance of £21.25, as he only took cash. Like so many now, I don't carry cash. I use my phone to pay for everything. He said the co-op had a cash machine, but that only took a bank card. James Harvey gave me his bank details so I could transfer the money to his bank.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very peaceful setting, near shop and local pub, but no walks unless you walk along the country roads. But very pleasant outlook and very helpful and Friendly on site. Dog friendly site too, bonus.
Disliked If you like walking the main town is 2.5 miles away and had to walk along Rd till we got to canal but worth it.

Website pictures are fabulous, maybe not the experience we wanted
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked !!!! Lovely hosts, absolutely top drawer
The pictures that represent the site are fantastic... beyond fantastic, but very clever... maybe not reality.
Pub... loved the dog friendly pub, which is all of 5 mins walk, but we didn't eat
Disliked Being camped in a car park, OK, what you need to know is obviously its the poorer weather and there are no grass pitches which means you are in a car park. It's a nice car park compared to some I have stayed in, but we won't be back until grass pitches are available.... if we ever do.
The Building site compound was a big dissapointment.
