Me gustó One of the best sites we have visited, lovely dog walking area alongside the river and thru the woods.
Level site, water and EHU but no grey disposal, easy chem disposal point on exit.
Had 2 lovely steak meals in the clubhouse on the last night

No me gustó The showers need to be a tad warmer especially when the evenings are chilling down and the toilet block is quite a walk from the jumbo pitch we were on with no shortcut

Me gustó The park area is spacious with good play equipment for kids, and the forest walks are a nice touch. All hardstanding pitches come with a picnic bench. There's a small Sainsbury's a few minutes' drive away, and the site is close to the main road for easy access. The entertainment schedule was well put together with plenty on offer, and the bar had a good beer selection. The Elsan point itself was well done, with a sink alongside it to wash your hands afterwards.

This isn't a bad site overall — just not what suited us. If you're not put off by the points below, it's worth a look.

No me gustó Shop — Advertised as "well stocked," but this meant camping equipment and a wall of pot noodles and long-life cakes rather than fresh food, bread, milk, eggs etc. that similar sites' shops carry. Opening hours were also inconsistent across sources — website says 18:30, on-site signage says 17:00, reception actually closed at 17:30.

Pitches & Access — Barrier entry with cars parked haphazardly around the site, making access tight (twin-axle vans would likely struggle). Many pitches are used as seasonal/long-stay, and allocations were small enough that you're effectively sharing space with your neighbour. Our pitch was tarmac (caravan) + gravel (presumably awning) + a small grass strip — but the seasonal pitch next door parked vehicles on and in front of "our" grass area, making it unusable. Water/electric hookup was on a makeshift wooden board between pitches with a hosepipe rather than proper standard pipework. The grey waste point was an open, uncovered hole in the ground — the same style used for the static caravans' waste, large enough to suggest it likely also takes black waste — with a persistent bad smell and enough debris in it that emptying a waste master into it caused overflow onto the pitch. It was also positioned on the door side of our pitch, making it awkward to reach without long pipework. Separately, pitches 34 and 35 looked more like laybys or passing spaces than proper pitches, with no allocated parking — the car ended up parked partly across the path leading to the Elsan point.

"Enclosed" Dog Walking Field — Marked on the map as enclosed, but it's really a hilly, uncampable area with a fence loosely put around it. One of the two gates was missing, and the far boundary was just brambles/bushes rather than fencing — easy for a smaller or more energetic dog (ours is a collie) to get through. The lack of a proper barrier also meant foxes came and went freely, leaving several deposits our dog found before we did.

Play Park — Good facilities, but sited on open grass near the river with no matting or surfacing — the ground under the swings and slide became muddy pools whenever it rained.

Showers & Toilets — Generally clean but not thorough — an empty beer can sat on a windowsill in the gents for several days, and there was visible grime in the ladies'. Showers are push-button only with no temperature control, and no dry area for clothes/shoes/towels. Worth noting: the cleaning log board on display showed the last recorded check was the 29th — we left on the 31st, so it hadn't been updated since. I'll also just mention that the same handwriting appeared in both the "checked by" and "supervisor check" columns.

Country Club / Bar / Restaurant — Seating is long canteen-style rows with minimal separation between tables — not somewhere you can eat without feeling like you're sitting with strangers, and awkward to navigate with a pushchair. We visited during the site's 20th anniversary bank holiday event, which may have added to the noise and some colourful language from nearby outdoor tables — but even allowing for that, it didn't feel like an environment we'd want our younger children in (older kids/teens, fine).

Evening Entertainment — Runs late and loud — if you've young children trying to sleep, expect a long night, especially on pitches closer to the venue.

Staff — Friendly enough but low on enthusiasm. I hadn't asked about food at all — just ordering drinks at the bar — when I was told "menus are on the bar" completely unprompted, delivered in a flat, almost rehearsed tone, like it was a line they'd been told to say rather than something offered naturally. A "if you fancy food, menus are just there" would have landed completely differently — this felt more like a box being ticked than a genuine offer.
