Tackeroo Caravan Site

We really enjoyed our short stay here. The pitch was in the middle of the trees, close to the paths for walking and cycling. There was ample fresh water, and sanitation and rubbish bin points close by. We cycled along most of the routes from the visitor centre. Just be aware there are no toilet or shower facilities here.

Quiet, remote,tables

Water was turned off and couldn't get hold of anyone to come and turn it on.

Easiness of access to the site. Great flexibility to pitch up wherever you like. Lovely location. Very well maintained by the warden who was great. No problem without EHU. We were the only ones on site when we arrived!

Perhaps it was where we pitched but we found there were a lot of walkers and cyclists passing by which wasn’t a problem during the day but did become annoying in the evening. One group stopped within feet of the van to fill up their water, no problem. 20min later they were still chatting away loudly at nearly 10pm. Just not the solitude we had expected in mid November.

Beautiful, tranquil site in the trees

Wonderful 'wild' feel to this campsite. Mushrooms everywhere much to my amusement. Chemical toilet disposal unit, running water and bins. Everything you could want.

This campsite is really fantastic and would recommend it to everyone for a woodland getaway.
There are no facilities on site except water and waste disposal,but i really wouldnt want to deter anyone from using this site.
Its in a beautiful setting, with established cycle and walking routes for all levels of experience.
We went for a long weekend getaway and it was very peaceful, scenic and a fantastic way to detach from the usual day to day routine.
Its safe to say we will be returning and was well worth the money:-)

Loves being surrounded by trees in the wood and having loads of space around us. The picnic benches were also really useful for us to sit round as a group.
The mountain biking being right next to the campsite was also brilliant, got a lot of rides in on both Saturday and Sunday! Will definitley be returning again 👍🏼

Shame to not be able to have a small campfire or fire pit but it does make sense being in a forest.

The feeling of being under a canopy of trees,close to nature,and the myriad of cycle tracks,snaking around the site.The site always feels spacious,even with other campers dotted about.Handy and clean water stations are dotted around the site,plus a designated area to dispose of cassette toilet waste.There are also large wheelie bins to access .The warden is a friendly chap,always cheery,and able to answer any questions etc.We have stayed a few times now,just for a quick break,and always found it relaxing,the history is interesting too! If you are looking for toilets /showers etc,there are,nt any,but you are blessed with nature and the beauty surrounding this site.

I would have to say that the entry lock can be really fiddly,especially when it is raining heavily!! Then you have to wrap the chain back around etc.It is good that there is hand sanitizer at the gate,and I totally agree with security.But it would be good to have an easier coded lock,,,? ie push button or something like that? Large numbers etc.

Although it's amenity free, I love staying at Tackeroo because it has endless walks for the dogs & even on a wet day, the dogs can stare out longingly at squirrels & the occasional bunny. It's very restful & good for the soul being in amongst the trees. Pity its pricy - I would love to stay longer but not on a pension.

There is always an issue getting through the gate & NEVER anyone to be reached on the phone. Could be vastly improved....
