A aimé We loved this site. The touring area is so quiet and yet it's just a short walk into Shanklin town centre. The facilities are marvellous. We used the onsite shop and the Fried Chicken place, but never got around to going into the bar. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's a Lidl just down the road and buses to anywhere on the island, so you don't need to drive.

N'a pas aimé Walking and cycling maps of the area would be useful. Staff, although wonderfully friendly, surprisingly did not know that the red squirrel trail went behind reception! Young man in shop was rude (not to us), chatting on his mobile whilst serving customers in front of us, and then chatting about them once they had left. The toilet block on the touring park, although well equipped, is getting a little tired and in need of some refurbishment. There was some trouble with the drains while we were there and the cleaning wasn't very thorough.

A aimé A lovely, well maintained site with all the amenities that we wanted. We only stopped one night (on the way to IOW), but would consider coming back.Handy for the new forest and the seaside. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. It's quite a quiet site unless yo get pitched next to the road.

A aimé A nice quiet site with all the amenities that we needed. We only stayed one night but had a nice stay.

N'a pas aimé Communication. All done electronically and it worked, but call me old-fashioned, I like to be welcomed and meet the hosts. We were bombarded by rules and notices. We had no intention of breaking rules but give some thought to how unwelcoming this is. Especially the one about a fee for checking in early which basically said "you should have read your instructions!" Well I did read the times of the shop opening but it was closed when it should have been open. Also, I walked to the Cafe at 3.45 and had the door closed in my face! (closing time 4pm). I also regard not providing toilet paper to be stingy in he extreme.

A aimé Immaculate site with wonderful amenities. Everything was so tidy and clean. The reception we got was exceptional, and the advice about public transport was appreciated (walk to the main road and catch the 1a). The level pitch had everything we wanted(water, electricity, drainage). Hardstanding so no getting bogged down. the on-site cafe was excellent.

N'a pas aimé No shop on-site. This was a shame as there didn't seem to be any nearby shops either. We try not to drive once we are set up, relying on walking, cycling and public transport - so we like a local shop.

A aimé This was a return visit to our favourite campsite. Everything was wonderful, from the cheerful welcome, to the ultra-clean toilets and the view across the estuary. We choose this site for its access to the Tarka trail where we can cycle traffic-free into nearby places like Barnstable, Bideford, Instow and Appledore. But the site is excellent in its own right.

N'a pas aimé No laundry facilities?

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks Dave for your kind review. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon, Tarka Trail Camping

A aimé Another return to this excellent site. Friendly and helpful warden. Good level pitches. Facilities immaculate. Lovely location in the Gloucestershire countryside with a good long walk uphill into North Nibley. Excellent Cafe and bar next Door.

N'a pas aimé The noise from the nearby M5 is the only thing that stops this being the perfect site.

A aimé This was our favourite site this year. Staff so welcoming and helpful. Excellent immaculate facilities. Great location by river with a short walk into town. Bread in the morning. We enjoyed a wonderful picnic in the ground of the nearby Chateau. We have good experiences of municipal sites in France.

A aimé Friendly welcome. Beautiful lakeside setting. Great for fishing (we don't fish). We saw a neighbour catch a huge fish! Good size pitch with all facilities working. Excellent cycle routes nearby.

N'a pas aimé Facilities working but basic and not very clean. The site is mostly residential with tourers almost an afterthought. We were very distracted by a neglected dog on the next pitch which was left tied up outside for more than 24 hours unattended and kept whining for our attention. We reported this to staff who said people on this pitch worked late and left dog behind. We thought this animal neglect unacceptable and it really spoilt our stay.

A aimé Friendly welcome. Nice big pitch. Excellent location for exploring the Loire by bike, and a short walk into Montjean where there are good bars and cafes. Good swimming pool. Good clean facilities. Staff (family?) very friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé Winding down for end-of-season felt a bit premature. It was only beginning of September but no bread and bar ran out of beer. Yet there were still plenty of campers.

A aimé Superb location for visiting St Valery-sur-somme by bicycle (great cycle routes). Friendly welcome. Good clean facilities. We plan to return.

N'a pas aimé Although the toilet block was very good and clean, it was strangely designed with a long walk from the toilet cubicle to hand washing sink. Also the weather was windy and cubicle doors flapping in the wind.

A aimé This was our third stay at this site. Excellent facilities and a great restaurant (which was thankfully still open and managed to find space for us despite having a large party in). Great location close to the Calais Ferry. The local Blockhaus is worth a visit and there is a large supermarket and a bakery within walking distance. We even liked Basil Fawlty on reception - who allowed us to change pitch as we were worried about heavy rain bogging us in!

N'a pas aimé Pitches are not very flat so needed levelling blocks.

A aimé Good sized pitch and very quiet. Very much end-of-season and we were the only tourers present. Lovely location next to lake with good cycle routes into nearby towns and villages including La Loupe. Bread available to be ordered from reception. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé Toilet block was adequate and had everything we needed, but in need of maintenance and not very clean. We didn't like the freshwater tap being immediately above the chemical toilet point which had a broken cover. We therefore didn't trust the water for drinking.

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your pleasant feedback on the campsite in general. We are sorry that you found that the sanitary is not very clean because we regularly intervene there. On the other hand, we are sorry that you thought that the only freshwater point is above the drainage area of the motorhomes. At this place we have voluntarily put up signs so that the camping(forklift drivers clean their box with the 'dirty water' tap and fill their motorhome with the 'clean water' tap. There is no sign in the sanitary but all the water points in the sanitary are made of drinking water.

A aimé This was a return visit for us to a clean and well organised site that is very handy for the ferry or tunnel to the continent. The showers are good (and clean) and all facilities that we need were excellent.

N'a pas aimé The gate to leave is not unlocked until 7am so beware if you need to catch an early ferry.

A aimé Superb location for walking and cycling or just for lazing in the sun. The shower/toilet block looked brand new and the facilities were wonderful. We were made very welcome and the natives were friendly! We loved it! We made good use of the cycle trail to visit local towns and villages and eat cream teas.

N'a pas aimé It would be nice to have laundry facilities - and I imagine that the number of showers is barely adequate when the site is full - but fine when we were there.

A aimé Beautiful site with wonderful facilities. Toilets, showers and pot wash all kept well-maintained and clean. Really friendly welcome from excellent host/warden. Set in lovely Gloucestershire countryside. Next door is a very good pub with good pub grub and real ale. Lovely walk into the picturesque village of North Nibley. This was our second visit and we would visit again.

N'a pas aimé There's only one drawback to this site. The close proximity (and noise) of the M5.

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

A aimé Very friendly welcome. Good level pitch with electric, water and drainage. Toilet block fantastic, and the cleanest we have seen. If we were giving out awards the receptionist would get one for the friendliest welcome, and the woman who cleaned the toilets for the most thorough job we gave seen. The location is fabulous with walks around lake "coco". We also walked through the forest into town not visit the castle.

N'a pas aimé Office hours quite restricted (end of season?)

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

A aimé Very friendly welcome. Scenic site. Level pitch.

N'a pas aimé I'm afraid that we didn't like this site. It was very pretty but the toilet block was disgusting. The site is almost all statics, chalets and residents with very little thought given to tourers. The impressive looking bar-restaurant was closed, even though there were enough non-tourers on site to make it viable.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Merci pour l’avis mais même s’il y a des résidents cela ne veut pas dire qu’ils vont venir au bar, la preuve il est fermé. Tout le monde a repris le boulot et les enfants en route pour l’école. La saison estivale termine vers le 15 août. Pour les sanitaires, ils ont 5 ans mais le sol est dans son jus et a 40 ans. Nous veillerons à cela comme travaux prochains. Cordialement, bonne continuation au plaisir !

A aimé Excellent, well organised site with good facilities. Friendly welcome. The clean, well-equipped toilet block was much appreciated after bad experiences at the previous campsite. There is a good-looking bar and restaurant although we didn't make use of it. Good stopover for Calais ferry. Local town not far away has all facilities.

N'a pas aimé Very busy, even in late September. The chemical toilet disposal had no water supply for "green" purposes. We found this a great inconvenience as we could not clean our toilet properly, and the "green" claim bogus because it just means that clients have to re-clean toilets at next stop - so water usage is just passed on to someone else.

A aimé This was a return visit because we liked the site so much before. Excellent facilities, and a friendly welcome. fresh bread in the morning. Heated swimming pool. Short walk into the village with its fantastic historical ruined Abbey and interesting mediaeval church. You can also take a walk or cycle ride along the Seine.

N'a pas aimé Pitches are a little on the small side and not much grass on the them - mostly mud.

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

A aimé This is one of the best sites we have ever visited. Level grass pitch with electric hook-up. Lovely welcome. Fantastic facilities, including a bar/snack where we had our four-a-clock beer each day. Flat cycle routes in all directions to interesting historic towns. Fresh bread every day, and only a 300m walk into the village for boulangerie and restaurant. Would definitely return.

N'a pas aimé All pitches under trees, which is great in hot weather, but in rain the the drip-drip keeps you awake in the night.
