Misterton Holiday Park

Quiet and out of the way, driving range on hand, pub 2 min walk away. Lovely guy that lives in the corner called Lee, he is very accommodating and happy to help.

Unsure where to start. Me and my other half went with our 2 dogs for 2 nights. We payed for a tent pitch with electric, which wasn’t much so we weren’t expecting much. However, when we got there, I agree that it would not be easy to find the park if it was dark and isn’t well signposted but after reading the reviews I was prepared for this. We called to get the code for the gate to be told that it was a very simple code, won’t put on here for security purposes however it wouldn’t take a genius to guess the passcode and enter the site. So not very secure. We got there to find the gate was unlocked so we went through and pitched our tent etc by which time it was dark. Then plugged out electric cable in to find it didn’t work (probably should have checked before pitching up) tried the other sockets on another hook up, still didn’t work so I assumed it was our cable. Found a cheap cable nearby so loaded the dogs and mrs in the car to go collect it. To then get to the gate and it be locked, when I put the code in that we were given, the code didn’t work. So now we were now trapped inside the site, with no way out, no electric and the office was closed until the next day. The man in the corner had gone out previously so we had clearly been given the wrong code, he was also still out so we couldn’t ask him either. Then asked the other bloke that was staying in a little caravan just as you enter the site. What a lovely gentleman he was! He basically said I don’t know, you should have the code, was very rude and then shut the door in my face. At this point I was getting seriously pi**ed off. I ended up having to break my way through the fence to the side of the locked gate to get my car out, scratching my car in the process. Got the electric cable and set off back. Tried the new cable when we got back to realise it was the electric hook ups not working, not our wire. We then spent the night freezing, with no way of blowing up our air bed so slept on the floor, no kettle for hot water and no heater for the dogs (it was -2 degrees at night). Now I get that camping isn’t always electric and heaters etc, but when you pay for something and expect it to be there, we had not prepared not to have electricity and would not have booked if we’d have known there wasn’t any. Especially because it then made it dangerous to have our dogs out in that temperature!

The morning came eventually after an awful night of no sleep, we laughed about the night before and what a mess everything turned out to be and tried to stay positive. Lee from the corner came over and asked how our night was, we explained all of the above and he offered to help us try get the electric working, but to no avail he then offered for us to warm ourselves up in his awning (very nice of him to offer). So we plugged our kettle in to have a cuppa and warm ourselves up, as soon as I pressed the button on the kettle everything blew. Went outside to find that the other guy from the other caravan was also outside checking his box so it had clearly blown the whole sites electric! So I walked over and asked if his electric had gone off as well to which he replied ‘so it’s you thats fu**ing blown everything! You shouldnt f*ck about with things you know nothing about!’ We had a little disagreement and he went off in his van, out of the site, so he also knew the code and could have given us it the night before! So, after doing the obvious and flipping the main switch off and on again, the electric didn’t come back on. We called the number for the site over 20 times across 3 hours trying to speak with someone about the code for the gate and the electric, I left multiple messages asking them to call me back and surprise surprise, 2 days later I’m still waiting for a call back! We ended up packing up and again having to break our way out of the site due to being locked in and not being able to get in contact with anyone. I would avoid at all costs, not even worth the little money the charge!

Love this little site. we have stayed here a couple of times, misses calls it her little paradise.
Nice and quiet, level well-draining ground, lovely scenery tree-lined on one side, River Idle to other and a pub two minutes walk away.
No lights so you need a torch but that's good as you see some brilliant starry sky's. Firepits aloud, so we tried out our wood burner in our bell tent for the first time, lovely and toasty. No toilet, not a problem brought our own, fresh water and waste disposal on site

Access road needs potholes filling

Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely everything!!! In short - no signage visible for the place. No reception, owner, anyone to help. No lights on the field. Electric hook up a joke unless you like going out in the rain to reset after continuous tripping. Long story - We arrived in the dark no signs for the place visible so drove past it 3 times! When we finally saw a sign for a firing range we decided it must be here. Lo and behold down this track was a sign for the camp site!!! We drove down the uneven track until we came to a locked gate! Phoned and was told a key code. No sign of a reception area or the owners! Went through another gate and in the dark tried to find a hook up! Found one and breathed a sigh of relief thinking that our troubles were over! Far from it! As soon as we turned on a light the electricity tripped! Phoned owner and was told where to turn it back on! The night carried on like that turn an item off - try to turn an item on - out to reset the trip! AVOID AVOID AVOID

Nothing

Everything no staff badly kept dogpoeall over dumped car on entrance .worse I been on in 30 years did not stay avoid

Peaceful and a very short walk to a lovely pub

No toilets/showers, never saw anyone from the site, was told by a long term stayer that the site was closed. Electric tripped all the time, could only use one or two appliences at one time. Only 4 hard standing pitches.

We had a great time. My second time back. Stayed a few hours in the pub then back for a camp fire. Very quite and natural.

Would like if there were a toilet block

Nothing to like. Felt very unsafe here. Abandoned car with windows out.

Other than drinking water tap zero facilities. Very difficult to find. Didn't feel safe on the site. Would not recommend using this site. I decided not to stay and found a much more pleasant site further up the road.

I liked everything, area was perfect with lots of space, very peaceful and private. Pub on the river literally a minute walk with beautiful food and beer garden.
Great value for money and a very helpful and friendly long stayer. Couldnt of asked for a more relaxed and easy get away.

Absolutely nothing

Nothing to like about it.
