Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked A brilliant camping field!
Disliked It is deeply disappointing that the owner appears to have prioritised a luxury home development while neglecting the existing touring site and the paying customers who keep it operating. We booked in good faith, relying on the information provided on the website and the positive Pitchup reviews, but neither reflected the reality we encountered.
The site felt neglected throughout. The facilities were shabby and poorly maintained, with some areas in obvious need of even basic decoration and upkeep. Hygiene standards were also disappointing, with drinking water hoses left lying on the ground at the water points. The small shop was inadequately stocked, the information regarding access to public transport was misleading, and there was constant noise from building works, none of which was disclosed before our arrival.
The lack of a warm welcome only reinforced the impression that touring guests are no longer valued. The contrast between the promotional material and the actual experience was stark and left us feeling thoroughly misled.
Had there been a suitable alternative that fitted our travel plans, we would have left immediately. Regrettably, we felt we had little choice but to stay, turning what should have been an enjoyable break into a thoroughly disappointing experience.
Having stayed at seven touring sites during this trip, this was by far the poorest value for money. Given the condition of the site and the overall experience, we found it very difficult to justify the prices being charged.
