We had high expectations for this site after seeing the pictures and reviews online, sadly on arrival we were very disappointed. I was greeted by the receptionist by “sign written truck” to be told that we were not allowed to park onsite with sign writing (very minimal may I add) as this causes unwanted attention from travellers, the nearest car park being a 10 minute walk away along a duel carriage way stretch in a pub car park. Not the friendliest of welcomes!
Pitches seem very close together, the site doesn’t seem to be very maintained at all. The toilets were absolutely disgusting, they were difficult to flush so many people just didn’t bother, urine all over the floor and to top it off the site did not allow toilet rolls in the toilets due to vandalism so you had to remember to take in your own every time you needed the loo. The showers were disgusting and smelt of urine, I felt sorry for the man who kept trying to tidy the bathrooms it just seemed people really didn’t care on the site and would leave them disgusting.
The “park” was literally a tiny old metal climbing frame in a small area which wasn’t maintained at all- with half a fence around it- don’t know where the other half went!
The pool was nice however very tired looking.
To be quite frank the site seemed to have a lot of travellers staying there, the kids really didn’t care and would just enter other peoples tents. We were even warned by other guests to “lock up our valuables” when a certain family arrived.
I would definitely not come back to this site again, by far the worst camp site I have ever stayed at. We even asked at other local campsites if they had space so that we could move but unfortunately other places were booked. In the end we left our holiday early which was a huge shame. The pictures advertised on pitch up are clearly from many many years ago, the site looks absolutely nothing like these now.
The only positive I would give is to a couple of the maintenance guys who seemed to work hard trying to clean the bathrooms however people just wrecked them as soon as they had been cleaned.
We didn’t use the entertainment facility, it was closed monday, Tuesday and Wednesday due to not having enough staff, there was a small room with some games machines but this got vandalised during our stay.
The people camping in front of us pretty much sat and smoked weed for 3 days straight, no one adhered to the quiet by 10:30pm rule either which made it difficult with young kids.
I would never normally leave a bad review but I really do feel like this site needs massive improvement and money spent on it to get it back up to standard, everyone I spoke to on the campsite also had exactly the same opinions and was disgusted at the cleanliness of this site. Definitely one to avoid!
