Great site that could do a lot better with a little effort.

Aug 2026

Liked Location is awesome, good point to get on the Thames. Pub next door is great, menu seems to be getting less since previous stays, but great atmosphere

Disliked Facilities dated and lacking proper maintenance. Bins overflowing. Cleanliness is a little flakey, but not untidy

Great Site BUT let down by dated facilities especially at £35 p/n

Jul 2026

Liked Location, Great part of the Thames, Plus a great pub nearby.

Disliked The site has potential, but the facilities really let it down. The toilets feel like they've been preserved as a museum exhibit from the 80s or 90s, and the Elsan point looks alarmingly as though it might be draining straight into the Thames. The grass could have done with a cut, and the pitches would benefit from clearer markings. Overall, for £35 per night, I expected a much higher standard. The location may be great, but the facilities fall well short of what that price point should deliver. .... will add a great pub with great food next door.

From the manager: All waste water from the site drains into a sealed tank which is then pumped through a pipe all the way underneath the river underground into a large septic tank behind the pub and absolutely no waste is emptied into the river Thames. unfortunately cutting the grass any further after weeks of prolonged sunshine and lack of rainfall will only damage and weaken it which is why we have paused any further cutting at this time.
