A aimé Large campsite with plenty options to pitch near the facilities in the orchard pitch or further away by the river. Easy access via footpath to Town centre and walks abound due to Offa’s Dyke walking route.

A aimé Pretty location between tall hills next to Offa's dyke and with a small stream running through the site (I think it's a river but is very small at this location) You can get into the stream from a pebbly beach; unfortunately a big group had their chairs on the pebbles with their teenagers and children, so it was quite busy. You can walk to the town in 30 mins or so although the access lane is very narrow so would not advise with small kids.
Views of the hills with buzzards and other birds around. Family run farm, very friendly and welcoming. Flexible on arrival/departure time - definitely a casual, rustic vibe. Fire pits at night to use by your pitch (not sure if you rent them)
Small snack/hot drinks stand by the farm buildings.
There is a train line running alongside the field but I knew this when booking; train comes through every couple of hours and sometimes honks the horn.
Mainly pretty flat. Some trees for shade on the train line side, some close enough to hitch a hammock.

N'a pas aimé Very long walk to the toilets from the field. Toilets/showers are all in a barn and very few, so expect to queue. I think 3 or maybe 4 showers total for all (not gendered just cubicles) Also very limited washing up facilities, very long walk carrying your pots and again a long queue. With so many campers using the facilities they were not very clean unfortunately. Even if the family clean them daily they are going to get messy when they are shared with so many campers.
Couldn't find the water tap or black water disposal.
Bridge over the stream is very narrow and has metal corner barriers so would advise a spotter to check if you have a wider vehicle than a car.
This is a step up from wild camping but if you are likely to need the loo late at night expect a long walk in the dark over the bridge with your head torch.
No allocated pitches, just park where you like. This is great for big groups but meant vans and tents very close to each other, some parked horizontally using up a lot of space, particularly the side by the river.
Grass needs a trim; long and damp in the morning.
