Haywood Farm Caravan and Camping Park

The setting and relaxed atmosphere

–

Great site, well laid out. Basic but clean facilities. Overall the vibe of is the real attraction, laid back, groups of kids all playing together, lots of mingling between the groups and all very good natured.

–

Well sized site with good facilities. Clean and surrounded by good walks.

Site: Very quiet off and away from main road. Was very clean and very well maintained.

Staff: very welcoming and very understanding as we turned up earlier than booked. Gave us a choice of pitch and a heads up of incoming larger groups to site.

Facilities: had showers, toilets, washing room for pots pans even a washing machine and a fridge freezer. But all was very clean.

Public transport: as we had no cars and local shop and pub open close times are peculiar. Bus to Ross on wye

Shower as wasnt running like a shower was more like a sprinkler.

The campsite was clean and had segments which stopped noise travelling. Mainly families when we camped. 2 showers and 2 loos but no wait. Fires aloud. Playground is for slightly older children and needs some repairs but they enjoyed it.

There was a rave nearby (not too loud) but didn’t impact on us. You can hear the motorway but again didn’t impact on us.

Well kept pitch sites.

Toilet and shower facilities poor. Not enough toilets or showers, and they were dingy. Materials used for construction cheap. Generally not appealing. Area at back of reception a large area of building site materials, bricks, sand etc, and not fenced off, potentially dangerous for young children, as piles of stuff everywhere. No dog bins anywhere, told to put in with general waste.

Well presented site. Lovely location (beware of narrow country lanes leading to the campsite!). Well located just off the M50 but no noise issues. Right next to the Forest of Dean and can do a variety of nice woodland walks from the site itself. Very close to Newent, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury.

Friendly owner/manager. Site not too large and you are never too far from toilets/showers. Washing up area with fridge and freezer was useful as we had bought some food and drink with us.

Shower/toilet block generally decent/clean. Lots of space on pitches for tents/caravans and a good mixture. Good facilities.

Shower was hot on the first morning I used it but tepid at best on day 2. One of the upstairs toilet rooms could do with a once-over but generally clean and I have experienced far worse.

Bins filled up rapidly and difficult to tell general from recycling when it's dark at the end of the day but this is not anyone's fault really, just an observation. We had to leave our rubbish in a carrier bag on/next to the bin with recycling.

Don't have kids so can't comment on that side of things with any authority but the site seems generally very good for kids and lots of space to run around/play etc.

Those are the only minor niggles. Everything else was great.

Attractive site with mature trees, pitches away from the track through, lovely playground, woods for the kids, clean toilet and shower block, fire pits

You can hear the motorway

Very good location, to travel to local attractions.Good welcome and friendly on arrival. . Plenty of toilets and showers. Good washing up area with freezer, fridge even iron and ironing board. Will definitely revisit.

Pitch. Park. Location. Staff. Cleanliness.

Nice clean well kept site. Showers are free, push buttons like you'd find in a leisure centre so you do have to press several times for a 5 minute shower and the temperature was hit or miss. Kept clean though. Table tennis on site which the kids loved and only 35p a ball to use as much as you like. Lovely park and walking routes from the site. Nicely kept footy pitch to play on too. Great base for exploring the surrounding area, lots around for families with Go Ape, the butterly sanctuary, symonds yat and a bird santuary nearby plenty to keep the kids entertained. We only did a short weekend break this time but will definitely come back.

Only the showers and could do with a few more showers/toilets.

We tripped the electrics near enough immediately but then realised it was because the tent next door had plugged into the 10 amp when it clearly states on the booking tents gets 6amp caravans get 10. No further issues once rectified.
