A aimé : Clean loos, lovely National park and trails

N'a pas aimé: Out of more than a dozen campsites this summer, this was our only disappointment. The campervan pitches are in a public car park which is open at night and next to a main road. There were cars driving in and out of the car park all night, which made us feel vulnerable.
The campsite for tents is v pretty and on side of a hill but not suitable for campervans.
Also the showers needed tokens, which despite speaking to someone on the phone, we never got. I understand it’s mostly a bike stop for mountain bikers but over £30 feels too much for what felt like a roadside car park pitstop.

A aimé : Everything! The staff were amazing especially Sam, Caleb and Kaylee so friendly couldn’t do enough for us. The food was brilliant especially the breakfasts in the cafe. There is a great play area for the kids, a miner’s museum on site (highly recommend to see), lots of amazing bike and walking trails. Facilities very clean and in good condition too. We are definitely going again.

A aimé : Fantastic staff, very friendly & helpful. It was my first camping experience and Sam, the owner was great at helping me get settled. Showers & toilets were very clean. They are quite far from the field, on a steep hill but as long as you are aware before you go it’s no problem. Think of it as a good workout. The campers were friendly. They are family and dog-friendly. Sam has lots of ideas and plans for developing the site so I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I’ll definitely go back.

N'a pas aimé: Toilets are so far away but hopefully the council will allow Sam to put facilities closer (as he proposes) to benefit the tourists and improve visitor experience.

A aimé : We have just come home and we were so glad we chose to take our two very little ones here. Sam and team were great especially doing the rounds and having a chat to check-in with people. Others have mentioned in their reviews the distance to the toilets but we didn't find this a bother nor did kids and the showers were so clean and hot! We went ahead and had a fire pit which was fab as well. Also although the field is on a slight hill, there are plenty of flatter areas to pitch and none of the campers we spoke to were bothered.
Lovely park attached to the museum and visitors centre. I felt very safe and would recommend to our friends who camp with kids too. Thanks everyone we had a lovely 2 nights with you

A aimé : Very friendly. Beautiful location. Clean toilets and showers.

N'a pas aimé: Toilets and showers are locked overnight so you need to request a key from campsite owner.
Quite a busy road just opposite the pitches which is noisy. Pitches are close together.

A aimé : The location and staff were really nice.

N'a pas aimé: The annoying flies, the fact that the bathroom was closed at night, which is really rude; and no facilities to wash your dishes.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your honest review. The flys are definitely out in force this year. Although the toilets are locked at night we do provide keys. Please let me know if you didn't receive this during your stay. There is a sink in the shower block for pot washing, and we are working with the land owners to install some outdoor pot wash sinks.
