Treacle Valley Campsite

A aimé Went for a night away. We had a vito and the road down was narrow at points with a hairpin bend so pick your route there if in a larger vehicle avoiding it.
On arrival the reception was more than helpful and even sorted us out a fire pit for the evening. The site is over 2 fields and we opted to park close to the toilets for ease. Plenty of flat areas to park.
The toilets and showers were very clean. Really chill site, plenty of families enjoying themself but everything was quiet by 9.
Went for an evening walk and saw plenty of bats in the field.
Woke up and got a coffee from site, it was very good. Would recommend as it was excellent for the price.
On a side note we went to the willows for dinner and could not fault that either.

A aimé View.

N'a pas aimé Having toured campsites across England for five years, I thought I had seen it all, but this place deserves its own disaster documentary. I am all for people having a good time I certainly do not expect lights-out at 10:00 PM, and a bit of late-night music is fine. However, what unfolded here was a masterclass in sheer incivility (rudeness or impolite behaviour) and complete anarchy.

At midnight, the grand finale of our nightmare arrived: two cars loaded with two families who decided that 12:00 AM was the ideal time for full-volume family therapy. For three straight hours, they screeched at each other, slammed doors like they were testing vehicle crash safety, and let their offspring howl freely. To complete the ambiance, a young chap looking like he was auditioning for a low-budget zombie film and clearly under the influence stumbled out of a tent, bellowing inarticulated (unclear or unintelligible) noises while passionately kicking empty beer cans across the gravel. The entire field turned into a live-action crossover of Shameless and The Purge, with desperate campers shouting "Shut the fuck up" into the abyss.

In a desperate bid for survival, we texted the owners to let them know we felt genuinely threatened and asked if someone could intervene. Naturally, we received radio silence apparently, customer support goes to sleep even if nobody else can.

I am no saint and I have survived some wild nights, but this level of patologia was breathtaking. They really ought to rebrand as a "Lawless Wasteland Campsite" bring your own hazmat suit, anything goes.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello,
We take all reviews seriously but may I say first of all that, despite the damning report, I really enjoyed your excellent literary description. Probably better than Ai could manage.

With regards your complaints we are really sorry it became an ordeal here. All we want and work for is for campers to have a nice stay.

We do respond to campers concerns overnight but I have no record of you sending me a text about the troubles that evening. Sorry for not trying to solve the problems.

Unfortunately we had some very difficult guests for those few days and we have had a run of bad reviews simply for them. They left the toilet block in a terrible state whenever they used it and despite our efforts we simply couldn’t keep their behaviour from affecting our other guests stay.

Our job is to ask troublesome guests to leave but if I read your review correctly it essentially says some people talked/argued into the night and closed car doors too loudly. Also someone kicked a can. Although it disrupted everyone’s stay it’s not really across the kicking out threshold. When these guests left they dumped their tents and threw everything in the hedge. They just simply didn’t care.

We are really sorry it ruined your camp.
