What customers say
Well-run, spotless campsite with great staff and spacious spots in pretty woods. Clean, modern facilities. Easy access to sights and walks. Road noise and patchy WiFi are noted, and some found local shops a bit far. Highly recommended, many want to return.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Well sized, clean warm showers. Nice flat area to pitch your tent and the site seems to be very well sheltered from the wind despite its high elevation…we were there at the tail end of storm Amy.
Disliked Can’t really think of any dislikes, if you are looking to pitch a tent in the area near the Pilgrims Way you can’t go wrong.

Lots of space and the grounds…
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lots of space and the grounds are well kept.
The showers and loos are very good, as each is an enclosed wetroom with its own shower loo and basin.
Disliked The turn out on to the A249 is interesting in a heavy camper.

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Joe! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback and we're pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We have to agree regarding the A249; we would always advise avoiding rush hour if possible because of the heavier flow of traffic and we would advise campers also to turn left and go to the roundabout further down rather than cross the dual carriageway as in a larger camper or with a caravan on the back, you find yourself sitting there such a long time waiting.
Hope to see you again soon, The Oak View Team :)

Electric grass pitch
Liked Very peaceful and a very warm welcome
Helped when required
Clean toilet block
Not much noise from airplanes as it is on a flight path
I would say it worth paying extra for power ( kettle is ideal )
Has a washer dryer room ( extra cost to use )
Disliked Need more signs from main road
May be a little playground for kids and adults. Near by
A few low light around the road so people can see they say to the toilet at night.

The location was lovely and quiet,…
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The location was lovely and quiet, there were a few other campers and motorhomes there but it wasn't over crowded at all. The facilities were very good, very modern and clean. A couple of Elsan points, a grey water disposal point, plus water outlets. Each pitch had a hook up grass or hard standing. There was a bit of noise from the nearby A road but only at rush hour. Good WIFI near reception. Would stay again.
Disliked Nothing
