Wassell Grove Camping and Caravanning

Gostou • Small, quiet camping field above
fishing lakes
• Good grass path around
perimeter for dog walking
• Grass kept short
• Elevated views
• The price

Não gostou • No bins on camping field - bit of a
steep walk to nearest bins which
were full and overflowing.
• Didn't affect us as we were self
contained, but the loos and
showers are quite a walk down
(and up!) a steep gravelly hill, so
worth bearing in mind if you have
mobility issues.

Gostou Everything about the place is top notch. Staff are very friendly and the facilities are brilliant, showers work and are clean. I’ve stayed here 3 times with my son for weekends fishing and every time we leave he asks when we can go back. Always pop in for a toastie in the morning before we go fishing to get pellets/bait and food to feed the alpacas later in the day. Cheap prices for pegs, especially if you are camping. The camping site itself is in a great location, a short walk to any pool you want to fish, with a great view of nearby town. Staff will tackle any issue you have eg other people camping being loud at unreasonable hours. Fishing is great, never not caught and have had days where I couldn’t sit down without my or my son’s rod going with another fish on the line. Never used the WiFi as I’ve never had to but I do believe there is some in the cafe/reception area but mobile/5G connection is strong anyway.

Gostou We love it at Wassell Grove and have booked for the same time next year before we checked out. It’s the perfect location for our family with children of mixed ages. The site is run by a lovely and helpful family too and we always feel so welcome - plenty to do nearby if you’re looking for a nice relaxed break away - highly recommend!

Gostou Loved everything, I come here regularly, owners are great, when I want to escape the grind and when I just need peace, quiet, some beautiful grounds to walk and a good sleep, I always return here after venturing to other destinations.

Não gostou The arrival of a person with his bike, that lacked utter common sense and space awareness. He literally pitched nearly on top of me, when there was enough room and space to pitch at a reasonable distance in the same area I was if necessary. This was nothing to do with the owners and it was not their fault. Just a Mr clueless, I didn't say anything as his lack of awareness or not care attitude didn't disturb my peace in reality, just invaded some personal space unnecessarily.
If the grounds were empty with no other people around, I would have had to address it as a solo female. Luckily, I felt safe although weary why he choose to pitch so close.

Gostou Lovely site, ran by lovely people- great hospitality. We booked a camping pod, which made a change for us as we usually camp in a tent. It was very comfortable. The fire pit and patio area was a bonus, as the area got very dark at night, make sure you bring a torch 🔦 showers and toilets very close, clean and functional, fishing lake beautiful and alpacas on site was a nice addition - would definitely book again

Não gostou The road coming into the site has many potholes, drive carefully

Gostou I liked that the facilities were very clean and maintained. The alpacas were a lovely treat for the kids (and adults). The fishing pools were fantastic. Owners very welcoming. Showers were spacious. Overall a lovely little campsite.

Não gostou The only thing I can Say is the toilets are very far away from the campsite. There's quite a steep hill to get to the facilities which could be challenging for some people.

Gostou Staff were very helpful, friendly and polite.
Dog friendly. Very scenic. Three fishing lakes..
The view from the campsite was spectacular. Loved the alpacas.
Cafe and shop open from 7am till 2ish.
Toilet facilities fantastic and clean.
Other campers were all respectful enough to not be awake/loud after 10.30pm

Não gostou The toilets were pretty far to go in the night from the tent. Take a head torch.

The road to the campsite was quite off track bumpy.

But I wouldn't let these put you off a fantastic place.

Gostou Everything about the place was great & clean. Café was very cheap, with pleasant staff & a good quality of food

Não gostou It’s not a dislike but a toilet block on the camping field would make life a little easier on a night
