A aimé Nice spot close to the river.

N'a pas aimé We didn’t realise the kids had already broken up for the holidays so it didn’t feel like wild camping at all.

Also the closest footpaths are overgrown and unwalkable.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for the 6/10... your ability to read a calender and know if the school holidays has started or not really has no bearing on our business, I would recommend staying during the week if you want it really quiet, but with this heatwave, all campsites , beaches... are busy I'm afraid , that's life

A aimé It was what it said in the description, ideal for my needs for a one night stay

N'a pas aimé Although it does say the riverside should not be obstructed, I felt like I would be intruding if I did want to walk by the river, so I walked down a track instead

A aimé Next to a lovely river, great for children to swim and play.

N'a pas aimé Toilets were very dirty, poo on the toilet and on the bins. There was plenty of loo roll but toilets ware not cleaned more than once during the whole weekend and bear in mind there was over 100 people on Saturday. We have been to many eco campsites but all were clean.
On Fri night the people next to the toilets (presumably owners) played music until 23 but noone else was allowed music on site. There was also music on Sat night but that was from the field nearby.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback. I can assure you that the toilets are cleaned 3 times a day at a minimum, unfortunately when the kids have been swimming in the river they do get muddy hands on the white sink basin and we sometimes have to clean them every hour.
We do not allow music any time, the customers staying in the airBNB did play music and this was dealt with, this is not near the camping area so I think you're being a little over zealous

A aimé Access to river, kids loved climbing on trees and jumping into the water

N'a pas aimé The toilet/shower facilities (4 cubicles in total with toilet and shower combined) were very basic and not cleaned regularly enough given there were a lot of visitors over the weekend. I understand that this is a "back to basic" campsite with shared facilities but you would still expect some level of cleaningness as families are staying here.The fridge which was available to store good if needed was dirty and needed a deep clean. We had to take a our rubbish - which was less ideal - but this was communicated beforehand. We received a text on the day of arrival telling us that there is "No music allowed" but the same rule didn't apply to the owner.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback, we actually have new toilets opening this weekend, sorry that you did not get to experience them. The existing toilets are cleaned 3 times a day, when it's busy and there's lots of kids using them they do take a bashing... hence the 3 cleans a day, thanks again

A aimé Back to basics camping as it should be, find a space and set up where you like, next to a river for the kids and dogs to play in, toilets and showers basic but more than adequate, very quiet and peaceful area

N'a pas aimé No music policy, but I get how people can go a bit mad and bring massive speakers that disturb others so fair enough

A aimé Flat site
Choose your own pitch
Quiet
Back to basics

N'a pas aimé Even though everyone receives a message saying to not block the access to the river - every entry point to the river was blocked by campers who had built their campsites with multiple units/wind breakers so it felt a bit invasive to go into the river. In the same vain, campers were advised to park in the parking area but not only single camper had done that.

A aimé I liked I could choose where I wanted to pitch up.
It was great not to have music blaring out
Relaxing site

N'a pas aimé Toilets can get bit smelly as paper needs to be put in bin

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad that you appreciate the difference that the “no music” policy has made.

We have new toilets and showers on their way, so they should be there next time you visit.

Thanks Again
