Wallingford Sports Park

Pitching in the goal

–

I was looking forward to staying here at Wallingford Sports Park. The general tone of the reviews was noisy, too much traffic, left early, couldn't sleep etc so I relished the challenge. I was on a long distance cycle camping tour and arrived around 1800 on a Sunday evening. Apart from a football match, the place was deserted. David, the manager, sent the key code for the facilities.
Set up camp next to the dug out, had a lovely hot shower in the spotlessly clean and deserted shower block (like having a private bathroom).
Cooked tea, sat in the dugout and drank coffee, watching the kestrels diving from the spotlights to catch worms as the sun set.
Slept like a log - didn't even notice the main road behind the tall hedge.
Loved it.
Thank you David!

The area near the dug out needs a clean up. Too many discarded plastic bottles. Lazy footballers and their sports drinks.

Great location to Wallingford, relaxed and friendly environment.

Nothing

All

Lovely lady to welcome us in the evening, very helpful, and flexible with our late departure on the next day. Nearby town with many pubs in walking distance.

Clean well kept site. Friendly greeting on arrival.

Long walk to the toilets & showers

Friendly lady who checked us in. Powerful showers although not very clean after the sports match.

Level pitches. Cheap.

Could only pitch right next to busy main road, big lorries throughout the night.
Showers were open and communal, not even a curtain to separate them from each other or the changing room.
Ended up leaving 4am first night and not staying for full stay.

Facilities were available at all times, BBQ

Helpful, friendly staff. Wallingford nice location, Lidl very close.

Facilities not really up to camping offer. Communal showers n only cold water wash up area.
