What customers say
Lovely rural spot with peaceful pitches by lakes/trees. Basic, clean facilities, hot showers. Good value, near Bristol/Bath. Downsides: muddy fields after rain, poor lighting, bins can overflow when busy.

From the manager: Hi John,
Thank you for your feedback.
As advertised on our website we operate a self check-in system, allowing guests to arrive and choose their pitch without needing to meet staff on arrival. Our team are often working across the site during the day and evening, particularly in peak weather conditions such as the recent heatwave in which you arrived, but are always contactable if needed.
Our mobile contact number is displayed on all main gate signage for any assistance during a stay.
In terms of local amenities, the nearest pub (The Upton Inn) is approximately a 20-minute walk, with a further option around 30 minutes away. Guests are of course welcome to walk or drive depending on preference and comfort, particularly given the rural setting and single-track lanes without pavements.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
Not the best place
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, solo)
Liked The spots with shadows as I camped during the heat wave 38 degrees.
Disliked Bathrooms, toilets cleaness - the urine smell from men toilets faced to the wash up sinks, female showers not clean, bathroom floor always wet (myself I cleaned it all once), never saw any staff cleaning facilities. Sometimes sinks were parcial bocked. Drainage pipes to a hole in the bathroom. People wash clothes in the shower. Garbage disposal, bins with a disgusting bad smell, litter on the floor. In all the fields could be seen litter. Be carful not steping goose poo. The fields are not tidy, grass not cared, full of weedsThere are horses confined to hot and small field. Advertised you will be banished if you don't behave according with rules! Read in another reviews the owner will try to exclude from pitch up the costumers who give bad reviews.

From the manager: Hi Maryann, Thank you for your feedback.
The campsite toilets and shower blocks are cleaned on a regular schedule throughout the day, with additional checks during peak periods such as the recent heatwave. Our team were on-site during your stay, including attending the facilities when toilet supplies were queried and checked at the time.
We have reviewed the points raised regarding cleanliness, drainage and bins. No ongoing blockages or drainage issues have been identified, and bins are emptied regularly as part of site maintenance.
The site is a rural campsite with livestock and wildlife in surrounding areas, including geese and horses on designated parts of the wider land, which is clearly signed as private areas and not part of the camping pitches.
We take all feedback seriously and continue to maintain and improve the site throughout the season.

it was a nice site with toilets and showers, and tucked out the way.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I was tucked out of the way, not near any main roads and there was no road noise at night.
Disliked The tent area was a little small, and it felt like we were all on top of each other, there was a large group booked at the same time and they messed up the ground in the tent area which didn't leave much room to pitch. also when I arrived I didn't really know where to go, it could be a little more clear around the arrival process.
