The Old Airfield Campsite

Ik was blij met: The relaxed atmosphere, the communal area, the food and drink trucks, the music, the surrounding area, the neighbouring ponies and cows, being able to choose your own pitch.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The ground was very stoney and I lost a lot of pegs. Might have just been an unfortunate spot I picked. Was also a lot busier than I was expecting and felt a bit rammed in, but I put this down to being BH weekend and the final weekend of the season.

Ik was blij met: I’m not a seasoned camper but this place was the absolute business. Clean toilets clean showers and helpful staff if you needed them. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Ik was blij met: Great bar, and visiting food trucks. The toilets were well maintained, especially for the Bank Holiday weekend.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Logs are rather expensive and car safety could be better policed, some people we blasting around.

Ik was blij met: friendly staff, plenty of space, adequate toilet facilities, which were cleaned and checked regularly, live music in the evening, friendly atmosphere

Ik was niet zo blij met: Not enough showers - only x8 which opened at limited times- long queues. Rules not enforced for dogs on leads which resulted in some dog poo not being picked up. No advice given on allowing some space between next tent - our neighbours pitched their tent a metre from ours when we were out - when there was plenty of space elsewhere - a bit more info on arrival would help with this.

Ik was blij met: Spacious, good location. Thoughtful amenities the pizza, wine box & coffee box. Had an adult only field.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The showers had tiny basins & nowhere to hang anything.!

Ik was blij met: Location was beautiful and when the sky was clear it was perfect for star gazing.

Ik was niet zo blij met: I didn’t find the quiet/adult field until after I set up. The directions weren’t great and there wasn’t any signs.

Ik was blij met: The staff who work in the reception area are so kind and welcoming. I loved the views and the limited light pollution made the stars incredible to watch. Although I only stayed for one night and didn’t get to visit the food van on site, we were pitched up fairly close and it was beautifully decorated with hammocks and fairy lights making it a lovely place to eat and socialise. Lovely simple little site which is exactly what I wanted. Plus it was easy to get to!

Van de manager: Looks like you had a great time! I remember meeting you and glad you enjoyed it all. The showers only stopped for a few mins one morning so that is hardly fair.. but we do always get complimented on our showers as they're so spacious and always hot! Its is great place to cycle and walk from isn't it.. Hope you come again one day on 2 wheels or 4!

Ik was blij met: We wanted a weekend away from it, booked the pitch Fri lunch time and arrived at 6pm. The staff were amazing and really helped, our original field was full but they were quick to help us settle somewhere else and came to check on us. Pitches were level and even with the wind we got the tent up no problems. The social area, bar and food in the evening offered a great atmosphere, which our kids loved (5 and 7) toilets and showers were clean, as was the whole site. It was easy to explore from the campsite and we went walking everyday Just what we needed to unwind and get away from devices and daily life. I would definitely recommend it. A great experience!!

Van de manager: Odd to comment about the loos when others who reviewed the same weekend said the toilets are great! We have 20 compost loos which don't have a whiff of anything and are swept and cleaned every hour. And 30 porta-loos which are emptied every other day and cleaned every hour. Its not the Ritz but it is pretty bloomin good!
