What customers say
Great park with loads to do. Guests love the clean showers & friendly staff. Arcade & pool popular with kids. Some pitches can get muddy, and communal areas occasionally need a bit more attention. Good value, many would come back.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The atmosphere and all amenities were great. Plenty to do on the site, you would never go bored! Prices aren't too steep, well worth trying the pizza van and the fish&chip shop!

Great staff & facilities, but site wasn’t clean or well maintained.

Liked We were greeted warmly on arrival despite arriving quite late—around 8:30pm on Friday evening. The late reception staff were really friendly and helpful, which made for a great first impression. The campervan area with electric hook-up was easy to access, and we had no issues getting set up.
Although we didn’t go swimming ourselves, we did pop into the swimming area and were really impressed by how polite and friendly the staff were. They were very accommodating and seemed happy to help, which gave a great impression of the leisure facilities. It’s always reassuring when staff go out of their way to be approachable, especially around children.
There were plenty of activities available for kids, which was a big plus. The “What’s On” board had loads of events listed for both daytime and evening throughout the week—something for all ages and families. It’s clear that the site puts effort into providing entertainment and keeping children engaged, which is a huge bonus for families. We also really enjoyed the pizza van on Saturday night—the pizzas were freshly made and really tasty. The arcade area looked great too, with modern machines and a freshly refurbished look. The facilities overall have a lot of potential and offer plenty to do onsite.
Disliked Unfortunately, the overall cleanliness of the site really let it down. The shower blocks were particularly poor—both the men’s and women’s had muddy floors inside the actual shower cubicles, and this didn’t improve across the weekend. It made us reluctant to use the showers more than once and gave the impression they weren’t being cleaned regularly.
The lack of cleaning was also noticeable in the clubhouse and surrounding areas. We sat outside at the picnic tables near reception on Saturday evening and noticed nobody came to clear the tables or collect glasses the whole time we were there. Tables were full of empty glasses and rubbish, and the bins were overflowing. This was consistent throughout the evening and really took away from what could’ve been a lovely atmosphere.
Inside the clubhouse, we had the same issue—tables were left uncleared for long periods. We had to move from one table to another because the first was covered in leftover food and glasses, and even then, the mess wasn’t cleaned up for a while. Downstairs in the arcade, despite the lovely decor and new machines, all the tables were sticky, covered in rubbish, and clearly hadn’t been wiped down. At one point, my hair actually got stuck to a sticky patch on the wall behind a high table. It just seemed like there weren’t enough staff around to stay on top of the cleaning, which was disappointing given how good the facilities themselves were.
That said, it was an extremely hot weekend and we booked very last-minute, so it’s possible the site was just busier than usual and they weren’t fully prepared for the number of guests. Hopefully this was just an off weekend and not the usual standard.
