Red Lion Farm Touring Caravan Park

A aimé Nice clean site with level pitches and near to a village with a pub. The access road is quite narrow and you share the toilet facilities with day visitors. The restaurant is open during the day only.

A aimé Lovely quiet location. Lots of farm animals for children to look at. Lovely friendly owners.

N'a pas aimé Toilets/showers are unisex. They were quiet when we stayed but they are quite small so I’d worry about their suitability if the site was busy.

A aimé The ice cream and the shop. The animals.

N'a pas aimé Seems like the caravan area is an afterthought. Our pitch was in the car park and we had to ask people parked there to move so we could access our pitch. The grass hadn’t been cut in quite a while. The chemical waste was an open sewer that overflowed onto the pitch area (thankfully not our pitch) whilst children were running around in the grass. The showers and toilets are shared with the general public and often so crowded it was impossible to go in, they were in a poor state of repair frequently out of toilet paper and if I used the shower I believe I would have been dirtier coming out.

We stayed there as it was a convenient overnight stop-over but safe to say we are never likely to return.

Réponse du gestionnaire : that's a shame, but when you cant put a honest review its a shame to make stuff up!!!!! yes in the summer we do get busy (it is a ice cream farm) we only open Wednesday to Sunday 10.30 to 4.30 but only get busy from 1.30 to 4 ,
as for saying the toilets was over crowded is not the case at all other reviews for the same weekend say " The toilets are mixed male/female, basic and kept clean." " The longer we stayed the more we loved it, though. Grahams Senior and Junior - the farmers who own the place - are great. The rural location on a working farm is idyllic and the animals are fascinating - we were even treated to a falconry display on one day. The farm shop and cafe is excellent - the ice cream is an absolute must! The proximity to the towns of Stafford, Gnosall and Newport is a big plus and Haughton - the village next to the site - is lovely with two pubs, a supermarket and a chippy. Only a couple of words of caution. If you arrive on a Sunday avoid the afternoon as it gets very busy with visitors. The other is that the toilets and showers are unisex and the facilities are shared with visitors each afternoon - we were dubious about this at first but we found it actually wasn't a problem. We went to Red Lion Farm as a group (four caravans and four generations) for my sister's birthday weekend and everyone really enjoyed themselves"" We love it here at red lion campsite, a a a a quiet peaceful place to stay this our second visit within a month, booked to stay again soon, the ice cream shop is great to pop along and buy yourself a treat, toilets and showers are spotless, thank you red lion campsite"

but my biggest problem was you saying "The chemical waste was an open sewer that overflowed onto the pitch area (thankfully not our pitch) whilst children were running around in the grass." now this is not correct its set back into the cow field away from the pitches if it did over flow and we never had it overflow its been designed to over flow in the cow field a good 45 meters away across a road.

if there was any problems its a shame you didn't come and speak to any of the team who are on call 24 7 and you had there mobile number before you arrived we work hard to keep it looking tidy and cut our grass and collect it up every week ( as long as its not raining)

i find your review hard to understand when you arrived at 3.10 left by 10.30 next day.

A aimé Nice little site. Graham the owner a lovely man. On site shop selling local produce & cafe really nice.
Lots of animals to view free!

N'a pas aimé Shared toilet blocks

A aimé Nice to be able to feed a variety of animals and the field was clean where we had the campervan.

N'a pas aimé Sharing the toilets and shower blocks. Especially as they are open to the public from 10.30 till around 5ish.

A aimé Very spacious pitches, very peaceful after the cafe/shop is shut. But to be fair even Sunday was very busy with visitors you wouldn't have known how busy the site was just sitting outside the van chilling. The ice cream, coffee & cakes were amazing. Cafe serves sausage rolls & pasties for a hot snack, they were good too. The pigmy goats, chickens, ducks & guinea fowl roam free amongst the visitors & camping areas. It was lovely to share their home. I would seriously consider going back.

N'a pas aimé Toilet & showers are unisex, not really a problem but very messy with so many visitors to the Farm during the day as they are the only toilets on site. 4 toilet cubicles & 2 showers.
