Walltree House Camping

A aimé The site itself has a lot of potential and my two young children really enjoyed watching the skydivers, which was definitely a highlight of the trip.

We travelled from Blackpool for a three-night family camping trip and, for the most part, the site was peaceful and enjoyable.

The location has plenty of potential for families, and having a small children’s play area would be a great addition. Somewhere for younger children to safely play would make the site much more appealing for families staying for several days.

N'a pas aimé Unfortunately, our final night completely ruined what had otherwise been an enjoyable trip. We unintentionally pitched our tent in the wrong bay. The booking instructions weren’t particularly clear and I genuinely didn’t realise we were in the wrong pitch.

Another camper insisted that we move, despite there being plenty of empty pitches on a very quiet site. I even suggested that he take our pitch instead, but ultimately, as a single father with two young children, I had to completely dismantle our camp after we’d been there for two nights and re-pitch everything for our final night.

Having travelled all the way from Blackpool, this caused a huge amount of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Having to pack everything away, unpack it again, and then pack everything away again the following morning was exhausting and completely took away from what should have been our final evening enjoying the trip together.

We were also unable to have a campfire during our stay because there was no firewood available from the campsite shop, which was particularly disappointing with two young children.

The road closures around the area also made getting anywhere extremely difficult. Brackley was shown as being around five minutes away on the sat nav, but because of the various closures and diversions it took around 30 minutes to get there.

Overall, it’s a real shame because the site has potential, but the combination of the unclear pitch instructions, the way the pitch situation was handled, lack of firewood, road closures and lack of a children’s play area made the experience considerably more stressful and disappointing than it should have been.

Sadly, I don’t think we’ll be returning.

A aimé Amazing showers, clean toilets even passed a very fussy little camper standards. Great pitch all with fire pit and picnic table. Fire wood bundles had kindling fire starters and larger wood. Enough fir 2 small fires. Be aware there is no shade on the campsite ie total sunlight hours of full on sun. Great walks to pubs about half a hour across lovely countryside. Very peaceful site. Air field close by with little cafe and you could aircraft and sky divers. Great information boards for activities around the campsites

N'a pas aimé Could have been a children's play area. I brought fire wood from pay lockers but would have liked to bring some of my own as the fire wood was 10 pounds and was enough for 2 small fires

A aimé Fantastic campsite. Ingenuity and well maintained facilities.
We will be back :)

N'a pas aimé Nothing I disliked. Just to note the campsite is aside a small air field so mostly microlights can be heard.

A aimé Love this site! It's really well laid out with spacious pitches mowed into the long grass. Great shower & loo block. A peaceful site with countryside views, and you can watch the gliders and skydivers in the neighboring Hinton airfield. Had a fabulous long weekend once again. Will be back.
