Liked: All the staff/volunteers are super friendly and helpful. Everything they earn whether it's camping fees or stuff sold in their cute lil shop all goes back into making the site better. Which is just fantastic. They have loads of adopted animals on site too. We will definitely be returning several times and helping out make this place even better for everyone else to enjoy.

Liked: Great back to nature place. Glenn,the owner, is very friendly. We even had our own firepit, bought wood onsite and enjoy watching baby swans and ducks. Our children even had a go at fishing thanks to Glenn and Billy, our young fishing instructor. As for the facilities, bring drinking water with you. It's a simple,but tranquil place.
Disliked: There is a train line next to the site and during the afternoon on Saturday it seemed busy. But no trains over night and early morning.

Liked: Liked The peace and quiet there is a railway runs close by but you hardly notice it after a while, we booked 2 days just to try out our new motorhome and were the only guests on site. The site its self is very basic but we had all we needed in the motor home so that didn't matter, Glen was very helpful and friendly and I'm sure we will be back again soon with the grandchildren. There is fishing on site and the water is very well kept with plenty if fish to the three pond, plenty of wild life to see and very quiet at night. Might not be everyone's choice but we will return again soon, if you need any supply's the local shop is just a short walk away its a small village and the shop stores everything you might need to keep you going everyone is so friendly. While we were staying a group of young boys came to fish and they seemed to enjoy ever moment they were on site. Not sure about WIFI we didn't even try as it was a get away couple of days.
Disliked: Its a little uneven but we managed well
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We have worked hard and now improved the layout and land evenness.
