What customers say
Great, peaceful, well-kept spot with lovely nature, woods to wander. Super clean facilities, top-notch hosts. Plenty of space, good for families (table tennis, football). Minor points on recycling and trolleys, but otherwise, highly recommended for value and nature.

Thoroughly recommend this little treasure of a site, well off road
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely little site, very peaceful even on the Gatwick flightpath, wooded walk was nice too. Clean showers and toilets. Highly recommended.
Disliked Dog mess in the woods, toilet light doesn't work, or couldn't locate the switch if there is one!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite was nice and well maintained
Disliked would have had nothing to complain about aside from the fact that there was an unleashed dog walking around and barking a lot at night (I phoned the campsite and they said it was a neighbour’s dog) to the point where I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping and had to leave the campsite. I was the only camper that night which made it feel worse

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry that this situation left you feeling uncomfortable during your stay.
We did speak with you on numerous occasions during your visit and you said you felt reassured once I told you it was a neighbours family pet and a small Labrador.
We’re also sorry that, despite our efforts, you still felt unsettled. As a gesture of goodwill, we issued a full refund and apologised for the experience.
We take feedback seriously and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We’re sorry that your stay did not feel as relaxing and enjoyable as we would have hoped and we will ensure that our cute little Bella doesn’t try to play out again after dark!

Plenty of camping space.
Hot showers

Disliked There wasn't anyone to greet us or allocate us a pitch, as the booking website said. But there was plenty of space, so just picked a spot and pitched up.

Great facilities
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great stay camping, the shower and toilet facilities are excellent and very clean.
Loved the extra touches of table tennis and badminton
Site was incredibly quiet and peaceful
Disliked Just wish more of the long grass was cut back but there were cut paths to pitches and we had no issues with any ticks or bugs.
Could do with some bigger wheelbarrows for transporting gear from car to pitch
