Kingfisher Campsite

A aimé : Large site, not busy even on a bank holiday weekend, plenty of space, open fires, close to resivoir, secure site.lovely views lots of wildlife. Sounds of bluebell steam trains in background. Close to road but not a busy road. Resivoir nearby excellent for walks and wildlife.
A basic no frills proper camping site, just pitch where you think best in lovely countryside

N'a pas aimé: The toilet/shower block is basic, which is fine with plenty of hot water, but needs a better standard of and more regular cleaning and toilet rolls refilled more often. Young staff in activity centre could be a bit more knowledgeable, but very friendly

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your review Mark, we're really pleased that you enjoyed your stay- the no frills traditional camping vibe is exactly our bread and butter! Totally take on board the regular cleaning and refilling of loo rolls- Kingfisher is new to us so we'll be sure to adjust this. The toilet block is also well overdue a refurb and that's next on our list. Hopefully see you soon :-)

A aimé : Price, Simplicity, Views

N'a pas aimé: DofE kids, but not really a problem.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your review! It's worth noting for any future campers looking to book that our public field is next to our DofE field at our Outdoor Centre. They're usually pretty good but kids are kids. Hope to see you again soon.

A aimé : Amazing. Really clean facilities and really friendly. Felt very safe for a group of young people. We also managed to see a steam train pass through the vineyard which was really cool.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks Amelia! We're very lucky to be close to the Bluebell Railway- it often 'toots' as it goes past for the kids onsite.

A aimé : Lovely location overlooking Kingscote Vineyard and the Bluebell Railway line on one side and a few minutes walk from Weirwood Reservoir. Easy access and good toilet and shower facilities. Nice flat field, then sloping down to give nice views of the farm beyond.

N'a pas aimé: Reasonably close to road, but not disturbed overnight.

A aimé : Easy check in.
Good location.
Plenty of space.
Plenty of flat spots.
Drinking water available.
Friendly people who run the place.
Looks like there’s lots of activities for groups. Nice walking places and close to the reservoir.
Toilets close by.

N'a pas aimé: Although I don’t expect showers for this sort of price, I don’t think I would have liked to shower in them.

I was concerned if it rained too much my van would get stuck in the mud so I stayed quite close to the path.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello- thanks so much for the review! We've taken note of your feedback and put in obvious waste and recycling facilities to the site. :-)

A aimé : Hot shower, clean toilets. Adequate for what I needed for a night's stay. Is meant for people who are also using the activity centre I suppose, which would make it a more interesting stay!

N'a pas aimé: No shops or pubs in walking distance.
