A aimé Site was clean (excluding toilets)

N'a pas aimé Unfortunately, our experience here wasn’t what we had hoped for. We found the atmosphere quite uncomfortable, particularly due to the way the owners interacted with us and other campers. There were also quite a few negative comments made about other guests, which didn’t create the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere we would expect from a campsite. I then spoke to the other campers about what had been said about them, to which Rose then decided to also confront me about it too saying how she didn’t expect me to repeat what was said. In my opinion, slating customers to customers isn’t acceptable. There was an issue involving the children’s play area, particularly the trampoline. There were children trying to play, including my son who was told by the owners’ children that they had to get off because it was “their” play equipment. While the owner did come over and speak to her children saying ‘I understand this is your play area, but you need to share’ it still left me feeling uncomfortable with my child being put in that position in the first place. As paying guests, we would expect the facilities advertised as part of the campsite to be available for all children to enjoy and not as a part of someone’s personal back garden. This felt especially prominent when they sat on a bench and watched all of the campsite until it was getting dark. Leading to an uneasy feeling of being watched and unable to fully relax, only adding to the ‘backyard camping’ vibe. There was also an honesty box selling eggs on site. Unfortunately, when we cracked one of the eggs we found it was black inside. Obviously I couldn’t say how long the eggs had been there or how they had been stored, but it wasn’t great to find this when the eggs were being sold to campers and could make someone very unwell. The portaloo facilities by the honesty box were the only available toilets, and left much to be desired. Although Rose did attempt to clean them, whenever you tried to flush you also tried not to breathe as the smell was overwhelming. Although we were told as we were leaving someone was coming to empty them, I don’t know when they were cleaned or serviced last as they were obviously HEAVILY used and in need of some serious attention. We also felt that the photographs online didn’t really reflect the campsite. The setting felt much more like camping in someone’s private garden than the impression we had got from the pictures. There were also several wasps nests around us, the owners did put some concrete slap pieces over them. Asked if we wanted to move our tent, but it was getting late so I chose to stay where we were. I get that everyone enjoys different vibes, but It wasn’t a relaxed, comfortable feel. It was a lot smaller than anticipated. I’m glad it was quiet as I probably wouldn’t have stayed if it were busy as it would have been way to cramped for me to enjoy if all the pitches were full. Overall I can’t say I’d recommend this pop up campsite, and will not be returning.
